Is on channel 5. smile
It looks like a collection of her work from the early years to her later ones.

Ooh, I'm sure the "two soups" sketch will crop up.
Happy days!

Grandma70s Sun 20-Dec-20 21:24:13

I’m watching. I’d forgotten how pretty she was.

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 21:25:23

She was, wasn't she?
Very natural and self deprecating.

Jane10 Sun 20-Dec-20 21:45:55

She's on again in special compilation programmes at Christmas. I really liked her. I wonder if she ever really knew how much the public thought of her.

I’m watching it too. Julie Walters + Victoria Wood = brilliant.

I hope we hear a bit of the song ‘slap me on the bottom with a Woman’s Weekly’. Frenetic piano playing. ‘Let’s Do It’!

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 21:49:01

Oh yes!
My daughter and I loved that song. smile

Urmstongran Sun 20-Dec-20 22:04:15

You got your 2 soups MissA! Hilarious. All that tomato soup sloshing about in those shallow soup bowls ...

I'm loving this.

Ashcombe Sun 20-Dec-20 22:09:11

Me too! Such a talent for writing and casting!

Jane10 Sun 20-Dec-20 22:13:38

I enjoyed that musical drama she wrote with Michael Ball and (I think) Imelda Staunton in it.

EllanVannin Sun 20-Dec-20 22:13:39

Here you are Urmston. Freda and Barry.

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 22:15:16

Bend me over backwards on me hostess trolley!

Urmstongran Sun 20-Dec-20 22:16:25

Yay! Just fabulous!

EllanVannin Sun 20-Dec-20 22:16:48

Genius. Aw, the film Pat and Margaret.

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 22:17:28

Oh, Pat and Margaret.
That was a great film.

What a treat this programme is.

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 22:20:36

I came sixth in the worlds greatest bottom poll. smile

Julie Walters is a great actress.

EllanVannin Sun 20-Dec-20 22:21:21

I'm still laughing at Julie Walters's cutting remark.

MiniMoon Sun 20-Dec-20 22:25:09

I recently watched all the episodes of Dinner Ladies again on Netflix.
I was sitting in a tearoom in Harrogate (no, not that one), when the news of Victoria Wood's death was announced. I remember exactly where I was as it was such a shock.

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 22:26:54

I've never seen a single episode of Dinner Ladies, and I can't imagine why not.

I must watch them all.

Urmstongran Sun 20-Dec-20 22:31:11

I love Anne Reid in it ... ‘an orgasm? I’ve not had chance to even blow my nose since Wednesday!’ With the young Maxine Peake straight out of drama school. Such talent!

Grannynannywanny Sun 20-Dec-20 22:32:31

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve just caught it starting on channel 5+1

EllanVannin Sun 20-Dec-20 22:43:28

I remember Housewife 49. Brilliant acting.

MissAdventure Sun 20-Dec-20 22:48:06

I haven't seen that, either.
I have lots to look forward to, I think.
