Victoria Wood RIP

VICTORIA WOOD 1953-2016

I’ve always thought
The word overused
But Victoria Wood
Really was a genius.
But there is darkness
Where once a light shone
The bright light
Of an enduring star
Which is now extinguished.
But not in our hearts
For there she burns still
As her laughter always will


VICTORIA WOOD A TRUE TALENT

If I have to pick just one Gem
From her creative canon
Then “The Ballad of Barry and Freda”
Would have to be the one
The pace and delivery of wit
Hits you like a comic volley
Like “Bend me over backwards
On me Hostess trolley”
Great Humour filled lines
Delivered oh so sleekly
Like “Beat me on the bottom
With a Woman’s weekly”
Or “Come and melt the buttons
On me flameproof nightie”
I can picture her singing it
To St P and God almighty

I didn't know her, but nice remembrances, Biggus.

A really lovely tribute to a much missed comedienne, musician, playwright, sketch writer and actress.

That one was amazing! "Living in the living room." I won't think of "living room" in the same way again. Nice ending with "beat me on the bottom with the Women's Weekly."

I found a copy of Victoria Wood's "Mens Sana in Thingummy Doodah" in the library. The first play was pretty good.

She is an Amazing writer, if you get a chance take a look at a sitcom she wrote and starred in, "Dinner Ladies"
