"I'd never written a sitcom so I thought that was something I ought to have a crack at".
Goes on to write, inarguably, one of the best sitcoms ever made.
"Just give us a teabag and I'll suck it on me way 'ome".
My fave sitcom of all time. Just so quotable, funny and sweet. RIP Victoria ♥️
Absolutely brilliant series , Vic Wood was a sorely missed genius.
Never written a sit com. Hit the jackpot on the first attempt! It’s a classic. RIP The Pride of Prestwich. Victoria, Queen of Comedy. Left the stage too soon but left us a legacy to laugh at!
I’ve watched Dinnerladies dozens and dozens of times!
As a former Mobberley and Manchester girl who has lived in Australia for 35 years this show holds such an attraction for me. I never tire of it. 💛 RIP to a wonderful talent ...
One of the best comedies ever. I've watched it over and over it always cheers me up.
You can watch it again and again ,I choose to do so around Christmas .Lots of love RIP Victoria .
Dinner Ladies - a masterpiece. The best script for consistant genius impact ever written. Every member of the cast has reams of top rate lines.
I’ve watched this series dozens of times.
I know most of it by heart.
It’s magnificent. 💛💛💛💛💛
Such an under-rated series, wonderful script, and a wonderful cast. Rest in peace Victoria, you were one of a kind and you leave a large Vic shaped hole in English comedy.

In my opinion the undisputed queen of observational comedy! Dinner ladies was one of the greatest shows she ever did! One i regularly whatch over and over again and it always cracks me up! Some of the funniest comedy lines i have ever seen.i remeber the infamous sscene where dolly thinks shes had viagra in her tea! The way that scene builds to its climax is sheer comedy genious! What a great writter victoria wood truely was.will we ever see a comedy geniuos like her again? RIP the true queen of comedy.
Trouble is if it's not looking or sounding right then you have change it. Thank you all the cast. Miss Victoria ❤😞
Absolutely love dinnerladies! The one liners are amazing and so funny, Vic is an absolute genius ❤️👏🏼
Aww I'd love to see this full documentary!
Brilliant and beautiful lady....such very sad news today :( RIP Vic...the world just got much duller.
I honestly think... if we add up the injustices of life... as we tend to do... the loss of Victoria Wood is high on the list. God, she was magic....
Can I just say, Victoria Wood has never been underrated. Ever.
The Pride of Prestwich gone too soon. RIP Victoria, Queen of Comedy.
Rest sweet angel:)Brilliant actress and writer.You will be missed.Thank you for the brilliant show.
i think Victoria Wood is and I quote Phillipa "bloody bloody bloody bloody frigging" brilliant
I love this so much as it reminds me of the places I've worked with a canteen. I have the DVD and have watched it a hundred times, and never tire of it. Great scripts, great actors, thoroughly enjoyable.
Went to see the live version of the show brilliant too
I don't know how she knew everyone i worked with. Genius.
I watch this series every December, leading up to the millennium. It is part of my Christmas routine. It always feels like I'm 'going home'. Love it and I always look forward to each and every episode. I have to force myself not to watch two episodes on the same evening as I like to make the lovely warm feeling it gives me last over a couple of weeks. RIP the lovely Victoria.
I have lots of Victoria's work. She was outstanding and I loved her to bits along with Peter Kay.I loved her with the camping , excercise, airport sketches. Love to all her family❤
Best series EVER. I think I know every line by now!
How I wish she were still here. She's my literary hero. She was a force of Nature. What a loss for GB and for comedy worldwide. You were AWESOME, Ms. Wood. All my love and my blessings to you in the afterlife. You'll NEVER be forgotten. Xxx ❤😢❤
“Is it true about the syphilitic Delius myth?”

Some interesting comments about dinner ladies in the authorised biography of Victoria Wood, "Let's do it". The cast members talked about how incredibly difficult and nerve wracking it was because of Victoria Wood's obsessive perfectionism which could make her prickly - the rewrites are mentioned here in this video. Celia Imre also mentioned how she felt somewhat bullied by Victoria at times. Victoria's perfectionism also led her to talk dinner ladies down afterwards. She said that The Royle Family's new format had made studio based sitcoms like dinner ladies obsolete. Dawn French also being somewhat polite here. She mentioned how Victoria was very difficult to work with in that sketch. She also mentioned another time when Victoria came to stay with her in Cornwall and was a bit of a nightmare. She complained a lot and apparently sulked when Dawn took her for a walk on a beach, saying she didn't like beaches. Dawn pretty much lost her rag with her. All in all, the portrayal of Victoria Wood is a massive talent but someone who had very deep scars from the way her mother neglected her (maternal neglect being a theme that runs through a lot of Victoria's work). It made her shine, but also meant that at times she could also be very surly, controlling, jealous, obsessive, bullying and somewhat narcissistic.
I never knew any of this. Never knew she was problematic.
This was actually on the TV at Christmas time. It maybe available to buy, I'm not sure.
But both series of Dinnerladies are available in a DVD boxset.
When it was first broadcast in 1998 I was very disappointed in it. Victoria Wood was so clever with her tongue twisty type songs, 'Let's do it' for example, I was expecting something equally fast moving in her situation comedy, maybe I thought it would be equally as fast paced, a bit like 'Fawlty Towers'. How wrong was I? It was more of the pace of 'Last of the Summer Wine'. It was more of a clever word play type of thing which I did not truly appreciate and soon stopped watching it. Now as I approach 70, I am watching 'Dinner Ladies' on UK Gold and I think it is fantastic. Goes to show how your taste changes with the years.
I felt similarly about the first episode perhaps, as they were still establishing characters, but I persevered and ended up loving it and have watched it many many times in the last 20 years, learning to appreciate it more with each viewing. Some comedies mature wonderfully... and some comedies require the audience to mature wonderfully to truly appreciate their genius.
Is this available on a dvd or vhs?
Do you have the full documentary?
I couldn't upload the full version originally as it got blocked... but I have managed to track it down. Did you want me to send it to you somehow?
@@HighHoeKermit yeah that would be great
@@jalexstone You could put your email address here and I will delete it as soon as I see it... then I could maybe send to you via we transfer or something?
too sad! Just 'discovered' her two days ago and learned today she's dead ,,,didn't waste her talent...wonderful fun..
Is this available on a dvd?
Kyle Wilcock yes I ought the complete set on DVD from amazon
@@kellymariekitty309 I think he was referring to the documentary.
So Tarbush was sorry he wasn't asked to be in it...... I was happy that he wasn't asked.😅
Looked like a pretty big snog to me, Vic!
Jimmy Tarbuck? Flick off....
