'Willie Eckerslike' I love this spoof, one of my favorite Victoria Wood performances. Trouble is though, when I watch the original 'Brassed Off' I think of this and crack up........
Re the name of the music, I'd love to know - us older 'uns will remember cigarette brands called 'Capstan' and 'Park Drive', think this is what the sketch is referring to
The piece of music was written by Victoria Wood the piece is called Capstan but also Anne Widdecombe. It was a series of theme tunes that ran through the whole Christmas special.
Yes it is--he tutored Victoria when she expressed interest in playing the trumpet again. She received an honorary fellowship from the Royal Academy of Music as he sat proudly watching at the ceremony.

One of the very best comedy sketch's I have ever seen, a real tribute to Victoria's writing & performance
'No offence love,but can you shove off'......ROFL,just love that line.
when the light is fading, leave me not bereft
help me still to fettle, and adjust my weft.
Always tears me up.
RIP Victoria Wood. Genuinely nice lady, so talented and this sketch is so spot on.

4 from Dinner ladies in the same band .
Bernard Wrigley one of the Norths finest. Brilliant.
Yes - she played similar at school, and after a bit of preparing - there she was!
Brilliant! A send-up and an homage at the same time! 😂
Really funny and then they start playing and my heart sings...
@atomicmrpelly Don't know if she's playing live, but she can definately play. She used to play cornet for Morcambe Band many years ago
she is such a good composer ahhh :D
Beware Colin - contains strong accents 😂 lol 😝

I think it was written especially for the sketch; music for the programme is credited to David Firman and Victoria Wood.
But how many of the band are actually playing?
Classic.
Hey up it's Terry Collier !!!
❤
It's Tony from Dinnerladies!!!
Good vid! Was she actually playing that cornet?! :S
i m not sure , it was a serious issue
Who plays Barry here.
Bugger Blair !!!
his name is philip jackson
AKA as Inspector Japp...in Poirot...
Does anyone know the name of the piece the band plays with Victoria Wood? They mention "Capstone" but I can't find find it anywhere.
I'm fairly sure it was written for the sketch, and is therefore called 'Capstan' (named after a brand of cigarette).
Great sketch, based on a great film, but why did Victoria start with a flugel horn, then switch to cornet?
Was there anyone funnier from Bury?
bah! They cut it short. Was mesmorised by this parody, and then... poof. LoofyBoy, are there by chance any more segments?
love it. Is that the late James Watson on cornet? Looks like him....I also would be interested to know the name of the piece.....
