Victoria Wood

It was an affectionate testament to her talent that she - like Morecambe and Wise - had some of the finest names in British acting falling over themselves to take part in her "specials" and obviously loving every minute of it. I hope they'll re-run some of her serious stuff - "Pat and Margaret" and "Housewife 49", and " Dinner Ladies" which I thought was one of the best sitcoms I've ever seen.

I think her popularity was partly due to the fact that she seemed to be an "ordinary" person. Of course her huge talent helped!! We all have memories of watching her programmes and wondering how she managed to make everyday situations seem so funny. RIP

This is the second thread on this subject!!!

It's the first one I've seen and I'm very sorry to hear that Victoria Wood has died.

Yes the other thread has 60 posts

Sorry about that but I don't know where the other thread is

There's nothing to apologise for - it doesn't matter that there are two threads.

As Eloethan says it doesn't matter but if you do want to look at the thread it's in the chat forum or you can look at the 'active' page.
