Victoria Wood Dinnerladies - Outtakes

[@conniegavin3015]

A quick explanation about the editing for those who care - the footage is taken from a docuseries about the making of the programme. Unfortunately the narrator carried on continuously from the behind the scenes footage to the interviews, and as the whole documentary would inevitably be taken down if I uploaded it, I thought some people may appreciate just seeing the outtakes. So this is exactly as they happen in all three documentaries, in chronological order. You're very welcome. The full documentary series can be bought on NowTV.

[@jackiecopeland1835]

Connie Gavin I’ve recently watched all the series and enjoyed them so much. I feel so sad that Victoria Wood is no longer in the world, a huge loss to us all. Great to see her giggling and having such a good time in making the series. Thank you for sharing.

[@buttonmoon1978]

The full episode will be on this Sunday (11/10/20) at 6pm on the Drama channel.

As the years pass DINNER LADIES continues to move up the ladder of best ever sitcoms.

[@clairecadoux471]

Sooooo true....

It was already very at the top

[@glenisbarwick2566]

I worked in a canteen and this is very true to life.

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

I don't understand how it can move up the list. Is that just to make room for the lesser efforts? This was, then, now and always will be No.1, too of the tree. We were so incredibly blessed to live in a time when Victoria Wood was creating gems like this!

[@michaelmuldowney8]

@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars - What I mean is that DINNER LADIES find new audiences and is appreciated more than it was. I agree - it should be right at the top with Fawlty Towers.

[@robwarner9371]

Victoria Wood was very poorly-served by DVD releases of her fantastic shows. This shows there is a wealth of additional material that could make a new DVD release that *every* Wood fan would buy. All we got on the Dinnerladies dvd was a static menu and the episodes. They didn’t even put subtitles on as an option. Victoria Wood deserves so much better, as this fantastic video shows! Many thanks for posting 😃

[@stevenlawrence278]

I think, of all the celebrities that have died in recent years Victoria Wood has to be the most heartbreaking. She had so much more to give. it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find another woman, or man, that has her talent, and generosity.

[@xr6lad]

I love this show. I often stream it at night as I'm falling asleep.

[@deborahwatson5159]

Absolutely Brilliant and God Bless Victoria Wood and May She Rest in Peace XXXX ❤❤

I like the way she wrote. She didn`t as the star, reserve all the funniest lines to herself. She shared them out and gave everybody a chance to be funny.

[@BobMartinsback]

I still miss Victoria Wood and when I see something like this, I also remember Caroline Aherne, who died a few months after Victoria in 2016. They were two of the funniest women around, immense talents.

This was such a fantastic series, just look at the cast! Wood and Walters, Celia Imrie, a very young Maxine Peake, and so many more. A classic in all senses of the word. I remember seeing it when it first aired, decades ago, and its lost nothing over time.

[@John2E0GTU]

I went to see this recorded. The best part was Victoria's warm up act!

[@sarafox5792]

Wow! So lucky❤

[@Spacetwerp]

Vic was the only comic whose shows I wouldn't miss, be they on telly or on stage. It was like losing a member of the family when she died. Her brilliance was made so obvious here when stalwarts of British comedy, each highly successful and influential in their own right, were queuing up to work with her. Eric Sykes was a comedy genius in his own right (should that be write?), and both Thora and Dora just oozed comic timing and perfection. An ensemble cast second to none. Sublime comedy. ❤

[@pampoovey6722]

Vicky and Julie were such a ridiculous force. Miss you very much Ms Wood. x

[@gillheddershaw5175]

I cried when she died x I felt like I knew her x I grew up on her comedy x what an absolutely brilliant woman xx

[@andyhanrahan2781]

She really was a comic genius, but to take nothing away from Julie Walters. How she managed to say some of those lines, even after multiple takes, without collapsing is beyond me.

[@Ampex196]

Lovely footage. Thank you for sharing Connie. I note parts of the studio eg. doors etc. that were (perhaps) being used as part of the set. TC8 was always very much in demand. Studio audiences should always be made to feel part of the show - which indeed they are. If numerous re-takes are needed they might miss the last bus home. Thankfully most are perfectly happy to go along with it all.

[@Smoothancool]

Victoria Wood visited the factory where I worked to get some ideas. Two of the characters were based on real people from our canteen (the manager and the maintenance man).

[@ttvfortnitekid6837]

Thora Hird plays a character named Edith. The same name as she played on "Last of the Summer Wine".

[@LFire12]

Amazing, but not unsurprising, how many of the main cast (bar Victoria herself, Celia Imrie & Julie Walters) have featured in Coronation Street, either before (Anne Reid, Thelma Barlow, Maxine Peake, Sue Devaney) or after (Shobna Gulati, Andrew Dunn, Duncan Preston) dinnerladies, and most of them (bar Maxine) in multi-episode/regular appearances. Many of the one off guest artists also did prolonged stints on the Street. Unsurprising because Victoria knew class when she saw it, and it's been said that the people who work on Coronation Street are widely regarded in British TV as the most reliable actors in the business. And it shows. There's not a weak link in this cast. Like another brilliantly cast British sitcom, The Good Life, dinnerladies will be one I will always bemoan there are not more episodes of, but acknowledge how perfectly crafted it is as it stands.

[@obiwankenobi687]

People on corrie WERE the most reliable actors in the business. Not any more. If you watch corrie nowadays there’s only a handful of people amongst the 80 or so cast that can actually act. Eastenders is the place in modern time soaps nowadays to find talented actors, regardless of what you think of the plots, stories, tone etc. you cannot deny the people in that soap can act. Corrie though? The wheels have really well and truly fallen off acting wise

[@davidreynolds4684]

@@sarafox5792 perhaps to you. I thanked the person for uploading the video. But it is irritating when people upload videos that are chopped up and done so poorly. There are countless videos where comics are doing their thing and somebody edits it so poorly that you catch the intro of the show the set up of the joke or story then the punchline or point of the story is chopped out. There are thousands of videos titled (the name of the movie TV show whatever ) full show and you click on it only to find the show mentioned in the title page isn't even in the video but 50 snipped cut up clips for other shows are in it. Or it's just the trailer or a link to a site that charges you to watch it or share your credit card info though it says free. If that makes me ungrateful so be it.
