Dinnerladies (BBC1) returned to soothe and confuse with its extraordinarily tangential conversations, as if each thought were bumping off the one in front and shooting away at an angle.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 26th November 1999dinnerladies (BBC1) has already been recommissioned. That quirky lower case d is keeping me awake nights. I am told there is no reason for it. Victoria just likes it that way. It is a sign of her resounding clout that no one queried it. Just as, when the last script turned on someone becoming a lighthouse keeper, no one mentioned that there are no lighthouse keepers any more.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 18th December 1998When I had flu in California I was given a vitamin B injection - at least I hope it was - in my bottom. Well, you don't like to argue. Julie Walters has the same effect on dinnerladies (BBC1). Instant invigoration and aching embarrassment.
