I've always liked this one.

Yeah, that's a good one. (I've tried and failed to find the one about the girl swimming the channel.)

Just in mitigation, I should say that I enjoyed the second sketch SR put up - and the one about the girl swimming the channel, from what I remember of it. It's mainly Woods's stand up I can't abide. And those songs. But then again, I don't really, y'know, like songs.

I like this although it won't convert any haters.

I bumped into Victoria Wood in the Marks and Spencers food place in Crouch End a couple of weeks back. As in literally bumped into her, followed by mutual apologies.

I didn't even realise who it was until Mrs Hofzinser pointed it out. She's much smaller in real life than she looks on telly.

If Victoria Wood had a shelf life, her bastard child is Catherine Tate.

If you like her, there is no excuse (I thought the joke ran out around series 2 of Little Britain, but what do I know?)

So there!

Holy shit, how on earth did I find people sticking up for Victoria Wood and 'Let's Do It'.

I can still remember hearing the line 'spank me on the bottom with Woman's Weekly' delivered with a despicable wink from beneath that bowl-cutted humour vacuum. I was eight years old, and if I'd heard it three or four years later I would have never had sex. Shudderingly shit shit shit.

SR, I have got your back on this one.

Not surprisingly I love Victoria Wood. To this day I hear her voice when certain words come up - probably because when I was a kid I had about 4 cassettes in the world to listen to, including one of hers, 2 Rowan Atkinson stand-up and I think yeah the other was a Ben Elton one.

Anyway yeah so, "Fuchsia boob tube, fuchsia leggings, fuchsia stilettos" and "I couldn't get your raspberry yogurt, so I got you a meat and potato pie" and "well she never said chop them. she never said chop them" and "this belongs to Betty Comstock Betty Comstock Betty Comstock" etc etc live in my head.

Oh and the one about getting older and how the cycle of time is "christmas, cadbury's cream eggs, christmas, cadbury's cream eggs...." also.

I didn't like the songs way back, but I think 'Dinnerladies' is pretty good (one of the few things I look out for on UKTV Gold)
