I loved watching this lady. Who can ever forget beat me on the bottom with a woman’s weekly.

Such a great loss. She was so very talented and we were in stitches watching her. Saw her live show in Brighton, also caught her shopping in Selfridges, and she gave us a warm smile when she knew we’d recognised her. Much too young. 😔

I re-watched Housewife 49 yesterday and it had me in tears. She was such a terrific actress.

I can probably watch Housewife 49 again (it was wonderful) butI avoid her comedies. Not that I don’t love them but it still upsets me that she died so young. She had so much more to give.

MayBee I’m exactly the same.
I adored dinnerladies and the whole ensemble cast (especially Julie W as Bren’s mum) but I just cannot watch it

People think highly of Nicola Walker as an actress, but she's not a patch on Victoria Wood in my view.

Does anyone know where I can find another film starring Victoria Wood called "Eric and Ernie" about Morecambe & Wise?

Sparklefizz it seems that’s it’s only available on You Tube.
Here is a link to buy the DVD, but there’s only one available!

Check this out!

I don’t know what happened there, I’ll try again

FannyCornforth Tue 23-May-23 09:42:10

I can’t get it to work, sorry!

Sparklefizz Tue 23-May-23 09:46:00

No worries, Fanny - I'll check out You Tube first of all.
Thanks for your help.
