Further details
Victoria Wood describes why, despite being set in a canteen, preparing meals and acting at the same time is ill advised. The show also looks at some of the canteen's customers, such as Bob played by Bernard Wrigley and Jane played by Sue Devaney as they describe their experiences on set.
Plus, there's a feature on the canteen's human resources manager Philippa, played by long-time collaborator Celia Imrie. To top it all Victoria describes why she decided to close the canteen for good after just two series and what she went on to do next...
