Title: R.I.P. VICTORIA WOOD
Post by: Newportnobby on April 20, 2016, 08:15:49 PM
I was shocked to hear of Victoria's passing away at the tender age of 62. Her humour was probably not to the taste of youngsters but, to my mind, the world of comedy is sadly missing a huge talent and pioneer for lady comedians :(

Wow, so young, I didn't even know she was ill. A very funny lady who will be missed. RIP

A very sad loss for comedy - I will admit that she was my favourite comedian of all times, and I would have loved to have seen her live.  :'(

I will never forget "The Ballad of Barry & Freda" - do a search on YouTube and be reminded of how good she was!  (I would put a link but it could be considered a little bit rude...  ;) )

I remember watching her with mum and not knowing if it was ok to laugh cos it was a wee but rude. Only a wee bit mind, by today's standards she was positively tame.

Really liked "Dinner Ladies".

A loss to the profession.

Yes, a real sad loss. She was such a wonderful comedienne, she will be missed by so many.

"Beat me on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly"
Pure genius.  ;D

Very sad loss, and a lovely lady.

Was lucky enough to see her live a couple of times and see her at the stage door for an autograph. Extrovert on-stage and shy off-stage.

Big thank you for many years of great comedy.

Acorn Antiques won't be the same.  :(
