  • Where would we be without Dinnerladies

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    The key to comedy is ............

    timing.

    When you start watching Dinnerladies you will notice it is slow but don't give up.

    Victoria Wood builds up the characters in the first episodes so skillfully that you feel you have known them much longer and you cannot help but fall in love the simple characters as they go about their mundane jobs.

    When this was first aired on television I did't watch it, my wife did and from just overhearing the dialogue between the central characters I was drawn closer to the screen and the almost documentary life of these wonderful dinnerladies.

    'Dinnerladies' is a wonderful, gentle, witty sitcom, from the Victoria Wood stable.

    I both laughed and cried at the situations in each episode.

    Enjoyed this series on UK Gold years back. However timeless and not the least bit dated. Great comedy very well delivered by the entire cast. Some great 'throw away' lines. Victoria Wood's writing skill is often overlooked. Highly recommended

    From the opening bittersweet song to the final credits it just makes me smile an ironic smile. The cast are brilliant and make it seem so effortless. For anyone who has ever worked anywhere, ever, it just rings true. It encourages us to hope that we are not the only ones thinking 'Is it just me or...?'
