DVD Description
Victoria Wood is unquestionably Britain's funniest and best-loved female TV star, winning the hearts of audiences with her brilliant character monologues, comic songs and observational comedy as well as producing hilarious and often poignant dramas. Working regularly with the same group of acclaimed actors – including Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston and Susie Blake – she has built up an unrivalled body of work.
This extensive collection of BBC titles contains some of her finest programmes, from her BBC breakthrough As Seen on TV which included the infamous Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's Do It) and Acorn Antiques (also presented here on one DVD) to the one-off 50 minute show Victoria Wood: Live in Your Own Home.
The collection showcases her comic script writing in the six playlets of Victoria Wood Presents, focusing on the various annoyances of modern life – from health farms to video dating – and the feature length drama Pat and Margaret in which she and Julie Walters play very different sisters, reunited after 27 years apart.
It also includes the documentary series Victoria’s Empire in which Victoria Wood undertakes a fascinating quest for the legacy of Queen Victoria, visiting places around the world that bear their name, from Fort Victoria in Ghana to Victoria, Nova Scotia.

VW presents are 6 30 min comedy playlets each one a different scenaio.
VW live in your own home is listed as a 50 min show.
Victoria's empire is a documentary exploring Queen Victoria's legacy around the world.
Pat and Margaret is a full length drama with Wood and Julie walters playing two estranged sisters.
As seen on TV is her celebrated sketch show, again featuring Julie Walters.

Absolutely brilliant!!! I bought this a Christmas present for my partner and it has been a huge hit. Victoria Wood (in my opinion) is one of the greatest comics of all time. Doesnt matter how many times you see her sitcoms/shows, you always end up in fits of laughter or singing to one of her hilarious songs. A absolute genius!! Would recommend to anyone who loves a good laugh. This box set brings all her best work together, I have never seen Pat & Margaret before and loved it.
