Sorry for the odd sound issues

[@CMDRRustyDog]

Yeah your voice audio was a bit low on this one.

[@nekite1]

Victoria Wood wrote an absolutely brilliant series called "Dinnerladies". Screamingly funny and beautifully observed comedy.

[@gtaylor331]

She's from Urmston.

[@JamesLMason]

@@gtaylor331 used to love that as a kid, Urmston is just up the road from me. Only ever went one way, myself.

[@psychosoma5049]

@@gtaylor331they’ve closed all the toilets in Urmston…..

[@lynette.]

She was extremely talented ,stand up ,writer actress both comedy and serious and some wonderful little songs too. Very sadly missed.

[@ianp1986]

Victoria Wood was one of the greats. The first comedian I ever saw live (when I was way too young!) You have to give Barry and Freda a listen, probably her most famous song. She unfortunately doesn’t always get the acclaim she deserves, a la Morecambe and Wise etc. I’m sure someone has already mentioned but she passed away from cancer in 2016 at 62. Gave half her money away to charity in her will, apparently. I’d love to see more reactions from her stuff

[@BRIDINC1972]

The funniest song ever. No one can ever beat Victoria Woods.

[@lby1961]

@@BRIDINC1972 Still one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

[@eezymanna]

If you liked her check out the ballad of barry & freda

[@ruthfoley2580]

You've discovered Our Vic. She's from my town. I love her. She died of Cancer & our town has put up a statue of her & our museum had a year long exhibition dedicated to her life & work. She is sorely missed by all. I met her once when she did a show at the theatre I worked in. I walked into her & she was really shy as am I. I said "Sorry Ms Wood" whilst looking at the floor. She said "S'Ok" whilst looking at the floor. 🤣

[@Walesbornandbred]

She was very talented, a writer, singer comedian, musician. Her stand up "An audience with.. " is well worth watching. The wrote an acted in some tv series, Victoria Wood on tv, Dinner ladies.

[@peterbishopisascumbag3596]

Check out the Ballard of Barry and Frida

[@andrewclayton4181]

She started off singing comic songs, did stand up, sketch shows, wrote a sit-com, wrote plays, appeared in films both comic and straight. She was successful and accomplished at everything she did. If you want a laugh, listen to her singing 'Barry and Freda.' Probably her most famous comic offering. I saw her live twice. Wonderful lady.

[@jeanneale9257]

Great reaction mate Love Victoria wood she sadly died way too young She's done some great work with julie Walter's Take a look at Acorn Antiques Classic

[@gregsmith5586]

That was it acorn antiques my comment above was made not seeing this and I couldn't remember it'd name

[@susanashcroft2674]

It was based on a soap called Crossroads, which was renowned for it's 'budget' sets which moved when people walked in or the camera work which I believe was not always focussing on where it should be.

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Used to watch her on telly with my mom and dad......my mom and dad weren't on telly with her...no...they were with me watching her. She is missed is all I can say. I think my favourite sketch is the Opinion Poll, not sure that it is on KZbin though....oh it is!!! Excellent.👍👍

[@Paul-hl8yg]

One of our lost comedy greats, sadly missed. A very funny lady. Check out her great comedy piano sketch: "The ballad of Barry and Freda" 👍😆🇬🇧❤🇺🇸

[@IanDarley]

Yes a budgie (budgerigar) is in the parakeet family, about the same size as a canary.

[@kayfountain6261]

Very sadly missed. She also wrote and starred in some dramas. Housewife,49 about a timid woman during WWII and also Eric's mother in a comedy drama about the early years of Morecambe and Wise.

[@antiqueinsider]

She could sell out the Albert Hall for 15 nights in a row! There's never been anyone who could play both the sad clown and the happy clown with such flair. Sadly missed and incomparable!

[@bsmith5404]

As you like Victoria Wood, have a look for Acorn Antiques. It was a running sketch throughout a series (or two?). Oh and there was a great Christmas Special with loads of UK famous people.

[@annedunne4526]

Victoria Wood was a national treasure. She was such a joy to watch. She wasn't old when she died only 62. Sad

[@susanashcroft2674]

Oh Squirrel you have absolutely made my day. Victoria Woods is one of my favourites and she was such a talented woman who had so much more to give but was taken all too soon at the age of 62 from cancer in 2016. She was from Bury in Lancashire, which is not far from where the likes of Peter Kay and Fred Dibnah hail from. I still find it hard to think she has gone. Thank you for doing this.

[@gregsmith5586]

Very clever lady ..I think she wrote dinner ladies also a sketch show with Julie Walters and a famous sketch about an old waitress

[@peterbishopisascumbag3596]

Two Soups.

[@SteveInScotland]

This was a great show, I saw it at the Albert hall, sadly no longer with us but a true comedy great and very generous giving often the best lines to her costars.

[@furrypurry]

Think there is a hidden gem called Seating Arrangements with Vic and Julie Walters. Family Planning and Turkish Bath sketches still have me crying with laughter after all these years x

[@CouncilOfWolves]

Where do we start with Victoria? Actress, singer, writer, her talents were endless. And she always gave her funniest lines to others. She made me laugh through the nineties with As Seen On TV and the iconic Acorn Antiques. She is a great character actress and comic genius. Sadly missed.

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

R.I.P. Victoria, funny woman, very talented piano player.

[@karenclover4948]

Sadly she is no longer with us, she was an amazing songstress who wrote all her own material please try and see more

[@helvete983]

Yes you call them Parakeets in the US, we call them Budgerigars or Budgies for short in the UK

[@aidiess]

She was incredible - talented funny and a great actress as well. She wrote a series once ,called Acorn ,which was a spoof on cheap tv productions, lack of continuity, and everything else that could go wrong like deliberate wobbly sets ! It's worth a look ! Yes she is sadly missed and loved by all. Her screen partner was a lady called Julie Walters who appeared in lots of her stuff but excelled in the series " Dinner Ladies " which was about a factory canteen. That series is a classic ! PS. see if you can find a you tube vid of her rendition of a song she wrote and sang while accompanying herself on the piano - it's called the Ballad of Barry and Freda ! - very clever and funny !

[@jjc5407]

Acorn Antiques is definitely worth checking out. The 'Two Soups' sketch Vic wrote for Julie Waters is a must see too.

[@DavidBrown-ut5qi]

Nice one again buddy , have a look at her 'An Audience with Victoria Wood :)

[@markthomas2577]

Victoria was a much loved national treasure in the UK and there was a nationwide sense of grief when she died at a fairly young age. She was from my home town and they erected a statue of her after she died.

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Such a sad loss. I was devastated when she died. For her serious side, you really need to watch Housewife 49

[@andrewtims9524]

If you enjoyed that then acorn antiques will be right up your street ,she was a comedy genius, much missed

[@ansugib]

Do her aerobics clip. Absolutely hilarious 😂

[@AndrewHalliwell]

Have you reacted to "Two Soups" yet?

[@martylawrance]

You must react to her song The Ballad of Barry and Freda, one of the funniest things I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

[@ChrisReadUK]

Just brilliant! 😊

[@joan783]

Dinnerladies was her best!

[@IanDarley]

You should check out her song - Let's Do It 😂😂

[@weedle30]

Victoria Wood was an absolute comic genius as well as a serious drama scriptwriter that would have you weeping tears of laughter at the characters in a drama one minute and in the next, those laughter tears would become tears of sadness She often portrayed characters who had, what you would call “social difficulties” - developed by her writing and her acting abilities you didn’t laugh AT these people or mock their difficulties, you would end up understanding them and wanting to fight for them, all the inequalities they tolerated, on their behalf I, like many people, wept when I heard of her passing, declaring it completely unfair and “wrong”. She was quote - one of our “national treasures” and loved by many if not all…RIP Victoria - yes, you WERE loved, so very very much…😥😥

[@neilrendell5630]

RIP Victoria, she was a legend when it came to comedy

[@richardhunter7363]

The beauty about VWs comedy is that it will stick in your mind so that the next time you go into a health food shop you will notice the bad skin and the chap looking like he's waiting for a sex change. Brilliantly observed and superbly recounted. Her self-penned Dinner Ladies remains my all-time favourite sit com and her dramatic works, especially Housewife 49, will always get watched whenever I see it on the listings, despite having watched it at least 10 times. RIP Victoria - the world is a sadder place without you.

[@lextex3280]

Loved Victoria Wood, she was great at everything she did.

[@GinaBeana_Tootsie]

She is a funny lady all true stuff 😹😂♥️🐿️👍🏼

[@mervinmannas7671]

The day she deid I was on the way home and it popped up on my phone via a BBC app. And with the shock of seeing it i said louder than i realised'OMG Victoria Wood has died'. I kid you not the entire train carrige around me stopped talking. There had been nothing about her cancer in the papers etc. Yes there was a few tears and I wasn't the only one. She was a national treasure. Her song 'The Ballad of Barry and Frieda' is the stuff of legend. Link below kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHesZn2ilK6kqac

[@slaintejimmy]

Let's do it ;-)

[@annirvin6555]

Good evening Squirrel. From North Tyneside England. I have an awfie cold.🤧

[@sandrabutler8483]

I think Victoria passed away 2016 she kept her cancer to herself very few knew she was ill, even some patients at the hospital didn't recognise her, Victoria was extremely private, and all her work has come from her life experiences and others, she worked with Dame Julie Walters, they were great friends from the 1970's and Victoria wrote a TV film about Morecambe and Wise which she played Eric Morecambe mum, another called Pat and Margaret, Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, and Dinnerladies, along with others. Victoria sold out The Royal Albert Hall twice, I think both runs were for 15 days and that's 8000 people in the audience each time

[@garethjones6051]

Yes ballad of Barry and Frieda next

[@richardhampson7845]

Comic genius 🤣

[@timglennon6814]

This woman was hilarious. You have to check out some of her songs that she wrote herself, they are hilarious. Songs like, Let’s Do It. The Ballard of Barry and Freda. The Pam song. Political Correctness Gone Mad song. Still Standing Baby Boom song. Sister Pop Band song. Just a few of her songs for you to probably check out.

[@susanashcroft2674]

Not forgetting Things would never Have Worked song.

[@Pi_r8]

From that reaction I'm guessing you'll be doing more of her.

[@dougoneill7266]

Vic' was taken from us tragically young. cancer. Genuine talent. massive influence on most of todays female comics. Catherine Tate, for example cites the characters of Victoria as direct inspirations for some of her own. Victoria was an expert of 'nice' comedy. she didn't go out of her way to shock people or upset people. just to make us all feel a bit better.

[@kevinsheehan3558]

She died of Cancer, she will be sorely missed

[@spacefanatic]

You should also watch some of her comedy with Julie Walters.

[@mccorama]

An audience with... is genuinely one of the greatest hours of comedy ever (Also AAw Billy Connolly is equally good)

[@honestyandtruth6847]

Victoria Wood was absolutely brilliant, look for 'Acorn Antiques' - a snippet here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4HGkIirgdCtmpo note the intended appalling direction of the camera and errors in the speech, it is a joke because a famous tv serial called 'Crossroads' had notoriously creaky sets and mistakes; it is an absolute hoot. Victoria also wrote and starred in 'dinnerladies' which was set in a factory canteen and was hilarious with her pithy humour, one of the best. A missed British comedian and actress.

[@joshuagarnham9703]

Victoria wood was brilliant. You should watch her comedy songs like Barry and Freda and It would never have worked.

Acorn Antiques is the best, by a country mile.

Yeah I looked it up after I recorded. She is a brilliant performer. I’ll do more for sure
