Being a big fan of Victoria Wood, and of some of Julie Walters' performances, I thought I'd enjoy this... Unfortunately, I found it rather lacking in originality and the clever wit expected from such a high calibre actress. In addition, the DVD transfer is rather poor - the menu screen doesn't work properly, and they've not properly removed the breaks from the original TV broadcast.
This is more about interviews and repeated clips if you rent this then you may find it a little boring, however some sketches of previous shows are quite funny. We love Julie Walters and are great fans!
