The news broke today that Victoria wood has passed away aged 62.  The bastard beast, cancer strikes again.

I'm not sure if my overseas friends will know who Victoria wood was, but she was, in short, a supremely talented and inspirational lady.  Starting out as a comedienne, she went on to also become a writer, musician, actor, director and all round performer, and was excellent at all of them.  The term, national treasure, is often over-used, but in this case, it was absolutely true.



Taken far too soon; Victoria Wood - thank you for the laughs.

Victoria Wood was my first introduction to comedy because she was 'safe' for a 9 year old watching tv with her Grandma who was giggling away in the corner!! I will MISS her so much!!

She was safe. She was full of innuendoes which children couldn't understand, but she never had to resort to effing and blinding to get a laugh!
