Just got a TV Times from 79 and there's a whole article on the New Comer Victoria Wood and her first play for tv Talant.

I think living together is impossible. I don’t know many long term relationships that are truly happy and compatible. There is always one that is happier than the other, and I’ve been around a long time so I’ve seen them. I think marriages last too long. Victoria Wood often captures real life like this. Did anyone ever see her in housewife, 49 she was superb. Based on the Nella last war diaries. She was completely downtrodden and miserable until the war brought her volunteer. work that got her out of her house and made her so happy if you get a chance, you should watch.

Wow. No

It's a happy cry at the end. A story that will stay with you.

25:40 Is that Esther Rantzen's sister in the audience?

This is exactly how I remember the early 80s. The muted colours. The hanging sense of greyness and desolation.

Ooh, wasn't Duncan Preston yummy 😋

... Can't get off of a Bus like this Today 1:21... Likely Get Robbed or Worse....

Good old Granada

Truly some of the most unbecoming hairstyles during that era....

Never seen this before,so im gonna get comfy with a glass and watch the genius at work 😊

Julie Walters song in pink twin set....Brilliant.❤😂

🧙🏻‍♂️👲🏼🐭🐸🥳🎄🤡🎪🪱🐛🏆🧎🏼‍♀️🚌🛌🧎🏼‍♀️🛸👽😋

quality, "only the good die young".? .but this also reminds me again why I enjoy "solo" not so low :)

Fabulous. Thank for sharing this absolute gem.

Didn’t realiseJulie was so flat chested.

George Costigan, bearded actor, ain't it?

Alwyn seeing a Costa Rican 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Despite her huge talent it's interesting how she always played the rathervshy, awkward, self effacing character in her plays, leaving Julie to shine. I wonder how much her broad bone figure affected her as it seems to come up so much in her plays and sketches. There's an inner sadness there.

When jim laughs it sounds so genuine like julie really made him laugh

Victoria Wood was so a talented

This story takes place over three consecutive xmases drama teacher Frances is single the first yr, meets Jim the next yr and they start a relationship and the next Xmas finds them together but struggling. Great character study ❤🎉

Did I spot Kathy Burke in the slimming ladies group?

Jim Bowen,,,😅

I love these two together. ❤❤

Victoria Wood and all these actors and actresses made everyone so happy and laugh, thank you very much for posting. 🤩☀️✨️

A genius script. And reminded me why my relationship with my partner has lasted all of 17 years - we're both introverts and stay away from each other when at home - but it actually works, we still like each other haha :o)

Love Julie Walters, you cannoy believe she is the same lady as the one in Acorn Antiques!! ❤😂xx

Victoria is so superbly whimsical , like Peter Skelern , two outrageously talented individuals 🥰 Julie is mesmerising but does often play the same character

Dames Julie, Judy, Maggie, Joan n Patricia r my faves all brilliant actresses

Nostalgia at its best. Rip Victoria Wood 🙏🎶 Great film with a great cast .

Astonished how almost dishy DUNCAN Preston was as a youngster! Julie of course -those bones! And Victoria - still missed.

I love Victoria Wood. More please.

I hadn't seen this, really enjoyed it. Great, thank you

Before there was Bridget Jones 😂😂😂

❤

Perms galore 😂

Poor old Jim 😢

Julie Walters walking up towards Sale station (Cheshire) at the start and in front of the Queens pub/ Cavalier Restaurant 😊

Beautifully written, wonderful characters. Victoria Wood sorely missed ❤

Only since moving back to Manchester have I realised July Walter’s accent is distinctly Brummy, especially since the rest of the cast is very Mancunian.

What’s going on with Julie Walter’s top?

Loved the songs, miss you Victoria 🥰

Such a great Talent her self, Lancs best, all her stuff stands up well against any comedy writer from any era, funny, sad ,re-watchable , always entertaining ,Dinner Ladies is so good with a great cast so funny so well written great characters . Sadly missed.

Chronic corny predictable

SO BORING🥱

Bleak

First time of seeing this, was shocked at people mentioning Victoria Wood in the past tense, I had no idea she had died, very sad news albeit late. I have not watched T.V for over 20 years, in fact I don't own one, I don't have a radio or take "news" papers ( I much prefer toilet tissue), I know I am out of touch with it all. Cancer is a terrible thing, and so unnecessary to die from it as the cure is out there, my late wife died of cancer after a 4 year battle. So very sad.
