Victoria Wood

Victoria Wood is all I've watched over Christmas.

There was an hour long programme again yesterday (I think! One day rolls into the next)

We started watching Victoria Wood as a fill-in before “Millionaires” but became so engrossed by all her wonderful sketches we didn’t change channels and stayed up until nearly midnight watching her. I’m so glad we saw all the unforgettables, such as Two Soups, and the Shoe Shop sketch plus the unforgettable Barry and Freda song - Let’s do it! I’ve been humming the tune all day. ??. It was a sad day when she died at only 62.

Really enjoyed Victoria on the telly last night - always a delight whenever her shows are re-shown.

Would be lovely to see a compilation of some of her work from her time on 'That's Life!'

My sister told me about the programme on channel 5. l must watch it. She had never watched dinner ladies either so she has a treat in store. I can watch it over and over again.

Sorry just noticed, suzette added Acorn Antiques already.
I saw it on stage in York, it was excellent.

And her “Acorn Antiques” DanniRae. She touched everything she did with her funny brilliance. I have all the eps of Dinner Ladies on DVD. They never fail to make me laugh.

We've seen a few programmes about Victoria Wood - she was just brilliantly talented in so many ways and Dinner Ladies still makes us laugh. Taken too soon

Just watched this on Demand5, absolutely brilliant!

She also had the knack of using talented people to work with: people not well known at the time. Using good actors that could do comedy rather than comedians. Look how great an actress Anne Reid is. Why is it, though, that so many people that bring such joy to others seem to die far too young.

Interesting that we all feel her humour has not aged. She made me laugh in the 1980s, and she still does.

Yes, every one of the people who worked with her said that.

I loved Victoria Wood's sketches. She was never greedy over the best lines, and would give them to other people. Such a shame, she had so much more to give.

I absolutely loved her. Only have to hear the intro to the Ballad of Freda and Barry to be trying to sing it all day. How on earth she crammed in such quick phrasing while also playing the piano I will never know!

She was fabulously unique. I must catch up with all of this as we definitely need a good laugh at the moment.

I didn't watch last night, OH was engrossed in a film, but aim to watch on catchup very soon. Victoria was a very talented entertainer and actor.

Loved, loved, loved her. From the Ballad of Freda and Barry - through the shoe shop sketch - to the episode where she goes camping with Celia Imrie and Celia finds out Victoria "Was'nt always in tents" (and so would know how to erect their tent) but "Aways intense" to the sad but wonderful "Housewife 49"
As someone has already said we will never see her like again

Enjoy Dinner Ladies Missadventure. I'm quite envious of the treat you have in store ?

Loved Acorn Antiques, still do!
She was brilliant.

Saw her twice live in the 90s. . Front row, second time. We were in stitches all the way through. Just watching her walk on, she was hilarious.

MayBee70 I took my children to see the Great Suprendo and I think he was on the same billing as Keith Harris and Orville when we saw him. I think in the early 80’s.

We went to see her husband The Great Soprendo at the theatre. Looking back I’ve got no idea why we went. Maybe he was part of another show? We used to go to The Sooty Show every year. Perhaps he was on that. (this is going to bother me now)

I've just been on a magical mystery tour of the internet and found her daughter.

Grace Durham is her daughter

I was just wondering about her children, and what they do.
I never knew.
I'm off to google.

Her daughter is an opera singer. She has a beautiful voice.

I sat for two days watching all the episodes of Dinner Ladies.
Just brilliant.
