Victoria Wood RIP

[philiph20]

She used to live in the flat about my wife's mate in Cheetham Hill when she started out. A working class genius from North Manchester [no-one is perfect] who detested the Tories and all other right wingers. The good go first.

RIP Victoria, just reading about the new appointee at the NUS and yet more evidence that the far left is equally as repugnant as those on the right.

A very talented lady gone too soon.

Used to love her show with Julie Walters. Antique corner or something like that.
Will play Rusholme Ruffians by The Smiths later on my way home as a tribute as she inspired Morrissey to write it on hearing a song she had written

Acorn Antiques. Filmed around the corner to where I lived for years.

Fantastic talent and another person taken far too early by a horrible disease...

Having a very close family member diagnosed with cancer in December it's become impossible to get away from.... there is something that comes along every day in the news or in general dialogue with people that reminds me that we have to make the most of the time we have left....

RIP, a very remarkable and talented woman!

Sorry to hear she has passed away and hope she RIP.
However I never found her the least bit remotely funny as a comedian.

Talented lady. I loved Acorn Antiques, and quite enjoyed Dinner Ladies.
