Customer Reviews

Excellent!
Victoria Wood is my favourite Comedian and I love her stand-up "Cellulite and Shopping".
She is such a funnny person and her songs are really good too, my favourite songs of hers are The ballad of Barry and Freda "Let's do it!"
and "Things would never have worked".
If you're smart you'll buy this tape. Victoria deserves a Lifetime achievement award.

Priceless
I have just ordered a new copy. My previous one having worn out literally.

The video to audio transcription is close to immaterial. Very few visual gags are missed and if you know the videos your imagination can fill in Mrs Overall and her coffee cups.

Nothing cheers me up more than when it is a cold grey day

An excellent audio book for long car journeys
Having listened to the Victoria Wood tape countless times, I feeel that my review is a fair account of it.

Wood's classic characters from the famous 80's TV series 'As seen on TV' come to audio in the form of Acorn Antiques, classic judgemental quips from tv presenterSusie Blake, Julie Walters as A.A.'s Mrs Overall, and countless other characters.

However, despite Wood being my favourite comedienne, the tape is taken directly from the TV series with no editing - the idea being that her work can be enjoyed visually or not. Some of the sketches though have obvious visual gags - hence my Four star rating.

Despite this slight incurr on the enjoyment of the tape, I recommend it as an excellent tape for the whole family - especially on long car journeys when comedy often shortens the journey. The tape would also be enjoyed by a new generation of Wood's fans having seen her excellent show 'Dinnerladies' on the BBC.

Wood's abilities to imitate life remarkably makes this tape a sure fire favourite.
