Our Friend Victoria

Festive instalment of the series that ran earlier this year, commemorating the life of the late Victoria Wood. Hosted by Anne Reid, this one focuses, reasonably enough, on Wood's Christmas specials, and includes reflections from participants in some of them, including Celia Imrie, Julie Walters and Richard E Grant. Ann Widdecombe also explains what it felt like to find herself on the receiving end of Wood's gently biting mockery.

Review: Our Friend Victoria

I laughed a lot through this first episode. Of course I did, it's Victoria ruddy Wood. Her delivery, her word choice, the rhythm of a line. Even if it's not her saying it, you know it's Victoria Wood. Her voice was so strong, in everything she wrote.

Admittedly, this was a glorified clip show - but what clips they were.

Our Friend Victoria review

You won't learn much in this tribute to Victoria Wood, but you'll chuckle and feel warm in that uniquely BBC way.

With Britain needing laughter more than ever, it seems especially cruel that Victoria Wood, one of the brightest comic minds ever to illuminate our lives, was unexpectedly taken from us last year. In this new series, Julie Walters looks back at some of the characters her friend and collaborator created, including Chrissie the long-distance swimmer and shambolic pseudo-soap Acorn Antiques, with colleagues from Wood's career also offering recollections.
