One of my favourite quotes (she's in a discussion with a BBC suit) "Don't tell me what will and won't work on television. I KNOW what will work on television - that's why I'm on television and YOU'RE NOT !"
@@nettils5555 I'm sure you're right and I apologise for wasting your time with a story which I found amusing and indicative of Ms Woods' character. Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways - I have seen the light and have erased all affection I ever had for her. She wasn't all that good, was she ? Just a bloody chancer. Thank God more level heads stopped her making a fool of herself.
It's the whistling after the book line and the sideways glance at the audience which gets me. Victoria knows it's the funniest line in the song, and she's going to milk it...
She created her own league, a cut above every other comedian, and she stayed up there, and probably still will until all of us are dead. Never replaceable, never to be surpassed. RIP, Victoria, None shall ever be missed as much as you.
+gadge roberts Same here, I never laughed so much as I have at this. Victoria at her best. If there is a heaven and a happy corner in it, I want to go there and watch Victoria forever.
Absolute genius! Like someone else said "what a gift to give the gift of laughter" even after she's not here anymore! She truly was one of life's observers, then used her observations in her work.
Goodness I miss you dearest Victoria. I watched you from your earliest comedy shows to your acting career and in particular Housewife number (was it) 42. This song made me laugh like a drain the first time you sang it. Always you’ll be loved by me and the Bugs Man. Jan 2020
Absolute genius. How did she know that Abergele is a funny place and that rain hoods are hilarious and that Mussolini would be funnier than,say, Adolf Hitler or Hermann Goering? Just wonderful. Thank you Victoria 💔☹️
@@Mishima505 just here to say Adolf Hitler is four syllables and doesn’t work in the slightest. It’s more than that… it’s very clever it both “sounds” funnier and is the type of character detail she nails all the time. Pam would abhor Hitler… but Mussolini he was ok.
Shocked & saddened at yet another famous name that I grew up with that has been taken from us far too soon. Thank you Victoria and thank you You Tube for letting us pay our respects in this way. R I P lovely lady.
OK, so I know "Let's Do It" is regarded generally as her finest and funniest song, but I laugh at no lyric in her back catalogue as I do "I've seen one in a book and I was not impressed."
To me, the archetypal Victoria Wood line is "no woman over forty suits a mauve string vest" as it has that perfect coincidence of the surreal with the everyday that marks out her genius with the English language and social observation.
RIP Victoria, you always made me laugh, a real shame that we have lost another great lady, heven must of sent some investigations out, cos there is one hell of a party going on up there,

I'm imagining the late, great Victoria Wood crying with laughter as she wrote these lyrics. What a woman.

"I've seen one in a book and I was not impressed" hahaha, she's awesome
'wore army boots and braces but I didn't think twice' never fails to make me laugh- along with, ' he tried to take my rainhood off, I said No way'
It's the whistling after the book line and the sideways glance at the audience which gets me. Victoria knows it's the funniest line in the song, and she's going to milk it...
She drained her Rum n Baby Sham, Run her fingers through her crew cut said I love u Pam ! My fav lyric
Clever lyricist. Clever pianist. Clever lady. Sad loss.
I hadn’t heard this one before ....she is badly missed as so clever! Her facial expressions are superb...VERY British humour. Fabulous
She created her own league, a cut above every other comedian, and she stayed up there, and probably still will until all of us are dead. Never replaceable, never to be surpassed. RIP, Victoria, None shall ever be missed as much as you.
I feel so sad when I watch this, gone before her time
"Ive seen one in a book and i was not mpressed!" Best line in the song
RIP, she was the first celebrity I was genuinely sad when she died
I keep getting waves of sadness but then I watch a clip and end up laughing my pants off. What an amazing gift to give to the world. XXX
+gadge roberts Same here, I never laughed so much as I have at this. Victoria at her best. If there is a heaven and a happy corner in it, I want to go there and watch Victoria forever.
I can't even say the name 'Pam' without thinking of the way Victoria Wood says it. I was brought up with her humour. A very sad loss :-(
@XML studios She delivers the whole song in a tone that typifies a certain kind of woman.
Not her awful bosoms but her magnificent CapiaDimonte
@xmlstudiosif you know you know, if you don't well, that's god's way of telling you you have no sense of humour
She truly is head-and-shoulders above any other comedian... and has consistently been for decades.
Absolute genius!
Like someone else said "what a gift to give the gift of laughter" even after she's not here anymore!
She truly was one of life's observers, then used her observations in her work.
I adore Victoria Wood, I remember finding her vhs videos in the front room when I was about 9, hooked ever since. She is the queen of comedy.
In my opinion, it's her finest song! Love it so much and never get tired of hearing it. Thanks for the laughs Vic ❤
I concur
Thatis my view also! It's even better than the Ballad of Freda and Barry
RIP Victoria Wood such a talented woman who will be sorely missed.
Well, we all watched this, laughed and than shed a tear..or two..Thanks Vic, love ya xx
My favourite thing. So unfair that she's gone. Rest in peace sweetheart and thanks for the laughs. xx

"I don't say gay, I still say queer, I think that Mussolini had the right idea"
Literally crying laughing. xD

Feeling so very sad today that we have lost her. She always made me smile and l loved her in " Dinner lady's. "
I'd forgotten all about this song, one of my favourites, made all the more amusing by the fact I grew up in Abergele :)
RIP there will only ever be one VW. Loved by all. I am sure she had very little idea just how much she will be missed. Thanks V
Victoria Wood - they don't make them like they used to!! She is a proper star!!
We have lost such a talent. RIP Victoria gone too soon!
Absolutely brilliant. RIP Victoria.
R.I.P Beautiful; Loved this woman since I was 11. X Brilliant vid.

Such a sad loss. Gone far to soon, but her humour is everywhere!
A very funny and talented lady. RIP Victoria
Just marvellous. Sorely missed.
I got a laugh on all sides!! I can only wonder if you had "ginger nuts" instead of "custard creams". Brilliant comedy Victoria. Love you forever.
Absolute genius. How did she know that Abergele is a funny place and that rain hoods are hilarious and that Mussolini would be funnier than,say, Adolf Hitler or Hermann Goering? Just wonderful. Thank you Victoria 💔☹️
I think it's because Mu-sso-li-ni is four syllables and scans better...

yes indeed what a legend my all time fave so sad victoria isnt with us no more but seeing this had me in sitches
Never heard of Victoria Wood until a couple of day's ago, but what a genius! This made me really laugh, R.I.P Victoria!!
Still coming back to this after all those years, as guaranteed to make me laugh! Thank you Victoria! x
Shocked & saddened at yet another famous name that I grew up with that has been taken from us far too soon. Thank you Victoria and thank you You Tube for letting us pay our respects in this way. R I P lovely lady.

Sheer Briliance. Very, very funny woman and so talented. What a loss....RIP Victoria. x
R.I.P. - Victoria - THANK YOU FOR THE LAUGHS - Sadness with laughs - Thoughts with Family :'(
RIP. true master of her art.
OK, so I know "Let's Do It" is regarded generally as her finest and funniest song, but I laugh at no lyric in her back catalogue as I do "I've seen one in a book and I was not impressed."
Michael Ritchie for me this is the best song...so clever
Michael Ritchie Me too! Brilliant line!
Michael Ritchie It’s called “The Ballad of Barry and Freda” you heathen 😂

I love "he tried to take my rain hood off, I said no way!"
About ten-and-a-half months and the wound in comedy is still obvious. Miss you dear Vic.
Absolute genius! Rest in peace lovely lady xx
this song is so hard to keep time with, respect to the dearly departed Victoria Wood
@@nettils5555 just me then
