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.
An absolute comedy genius. Beautiful, funny, A real treasure. Loved her then, love her now. Rest in Peace
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.
Me too😂
She was a comedy genius. I loved her shows. Loved her.
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💓💓
It's Christmas and she is not here.. The time of year I miss her the most.

I think of her a lot. Classic observation. Can't believe that she has gone. R.I.P. Blessings to her family.xx
RIP Victoria Wood. So many laughs that will be greatly missed.
This world has lost a beautiful talent. My condolences to her wonderful family.
Proud to have been in the same class as you Vicki, will always remember the consulate cigarettes jokes. ❤️
Acorn Antiques, comedy gold. Victoria Wood, comedy platinum.

The Pride of Prestwich. Gone too soon. RIP Victoria Wood, Queen of Comedy.

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.
RIP. I HOPE SHE HAS A LONG LEGACY
4:30 you could have done better for such a genuine talent. Lovely woman.
“Beat me on the bottom with a with a woman’s weekly “ LOL such an unforgettable line! 😅

C Imrie WAS really cute.
I wonder if she singularly inspired the bowl haircuts so popular with teenagers in the 90's?
+oogaw nope, it was Purdy
just a genius i love her comedy
The best
Too young..I mean I'm 60 and don't want to go in one year ffs
I'm not really sure but I think that Morrisey wrote a song about her called: you are the one for me fatty

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 .
Morgan Olfursson fucking prick
Could you not have shown that funny joke she did once?
+Crouchy232323 u tryin to b funny?
Crouchy clearly has zero sense of humour & appreciation of genuine comedic writing. Sad, really.
