    For me, Victoria Wood With All The Trimmings, her Christmas Special of 2000 was probably the peak of her work. I remember watching it with my family back on Christmas Day we loved every minute of it. Along with Dinnerladies and Acorn Antiques - pure comedy gems.

      Watching her shows from the 80's . I thought they would be really dated but they aren't at all. Timeless comedy

    "Beat me on the bottom with a women's weekly" has to be the best line ever sung. It gets me every single time.

    One of a kind.With Julie they made comedy magic.We often use the phrase National Treasure loosely but Victoria Wood fully merits this accolade💓💓

    Rest in peace love. Being an urbane sophisticated chap myself, never did quite appreciate the Northern mill town humour- still, "mustn't grumble". Now in heaven with the likes Mother Teresa and Beryl Reid.

    I wonder if she singularly inspired the bowl haircuts so popular with teenagers in the 90's?

    NO Joanna got it because she is a true angel and cares for everything and everyone .
    She should not even try to compare herself to Joanna Lumley . I liked Victoria W. but Lumley is a Unicorn, she is at a whole other level .

      Crouchy clearly has zero sense of humour & appreciation of genuine comedic writing. Sad, really.
