A selection of classic moments from Victoria Wood’s award-winning BBC TV programme.Here it is - the first collection of assembled highlights from Victoria Wood’s award-winning BBC television show 'Victoria Wood - As Seen on TV'. This release spills forth the likes of Julie Walters, Patricia Routledge, Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston and Susie Blake in an all-singing, all-dancing (well, in a manner of speaking) spectacular. Victoria sings some of her classics, including 'the ballad of Barry and Frieda', 'Let’s Do It Tonight', and brings together the very finest episodes of Britain’s best-loved soap, the consummate display of method acting which is 'Acorn Antiques'.And as if that weren’t enough, tucked in amongst the inter-sketch nooks and crannies, we get Victoria’s unique perspective on life. Anyone else want to swap a man for a thirteen-colour biro?
