Victoria Wood wrote such great comedy and gave it to wonderful actors unselfishly. Miss her. Such a great loss

[@simonjones7727]

So tempting to recreate Kitty's lair for my next Zoom call. Floral bouquet, well polished side tables, lamp, knick-knacks and a glass of sherry. I can just flop into the chair from stage left with two bags of shopping and say "I can't stay long". Weirdly, it all begins to look much more exotic and exciting than the identikit "tastefulness" of the average 2020s interior.

[@londoncalling151]

Genuis!!!

[@bransrubar]

That would be awesome

[@rachelbrough8160]

I endorse this idea, may I pour the sherry? 😂

Just delicious comedy,but what makes it phenomenal is that in the north of England (where I'm from) this kind of conversation actually happens!Amazing writing by the late and great Victoria Wood and superb acting (as usual) from Patricia routledge

[@rosies3622]

And unlike American comedy performers she never gets cute and giggles at her own lines like on SNL.

Only seen her in "Keeping Up Appearances". Hilarious that was. ♥️👍

[@jessieb7290]

The Queen Mum was a fan of Mrs. Bucket's (true).

The "Kitty" segments are perfection. Victoria Woods" writing and Patricia Routledge's comic timing, they never fail to make me laugh. Theres so much wrong with the world today and I'm as much to blame as anyone as I dont peg enough out!

Same here, BBC sitcoms have become my new favorites... God bless Hyacinth, Mrs. Slocum, Miranda and all the other funny women of the BBC.

We all know certain aspects of these characters in the people know, usually older members of our family or wider circle of friends.

Rest in peace our beloved Victoria Wood. I cannot believe that you are no longer with us. Bless you. X

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

2024 KZbin thought i need to see this. It were right.

[@neorich59]

This is priceless and timeless. For anybody who *still* labours under the misapprehension that women "don't do comedy," or "aren't funny" could do no better than to trawl the Victoria Wood archives. She was funny and surrounded herself with very talented co-actors who obviously *loved* working with her!

[@gilgameshofuruk4060]

I can never understand that "women can't do comedy" thing. The Music Halls of the 1880s onwards were full of funny women. Vesta Tilley, Florrie Forde, Gertie Gitana, the incomparable Marie Lloyd. In the early to mid 20th century we had Nellie Wallace, Joyce Grenfell, Lucille Ball, etc.

[@fingersTitan]

Now look at the rott... Miranda isn't funny.... even for a woman.. Vic was gold along with French and Saunders.. funny people on any level.

[@kathwallace1811]

It's sherry, not wine.... Typical drink in the 1960s, 70s, 80s for older ladies. Usually drunk in very small portions, two or three glasses would get a little old lady quite tipsy....
