Entry for Victoria Wood
| VICTORIA WOOD JOINS MINE HUNTERS IN LAOS (Read more) |
 | | Victoria Wood OBE is a BAFTA award winning English comedian, actor, singer and writer born 19 May 1953 in Prestwich Village, Greater Manchester . She has written and starred in sketches, plays, films and sitcoms, and her live stand-up comedy act is interspersed with songs of her own composition, which she accompanies on piano.
Wood is often regarded as among the top sitcom writers in Britain owing to her understanding of English culture and high command of the English language. Much of her humour is lost on those not well-acquainted with English culture, since it abounds with references to popular British media, stereotypically English pastimes, attitudes, prejudices, and even brand names of quintessentially English products. She is noted for her skills in observing culture, and in satirising classes of people using a variety of regional accents. Wood's humour is also characterised by euphemism. One of her most popular comic songs, "The Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's Do It)", which tells the story of Freda (a woman eager for sex) and Barry (an introverted man terrified of sex), makes clever use of allusions to a multitude of risqué activities while avoiding all taboo words. Her sitcom dinnerladies is regarded as a prime example of dialogue-based TV comedy, where the focus is more on discussion between characters than story or action.

Dreams do come true… Emma Watson (Hermione in Harry Potter) stars in this heart-warming and uplifting film based on the beloved, best-selling novel by Noel Streatfeild and featuring an award-winning cast that includes Emilia Fox, Victoria Wood, Richard Griffiths and Eileen Atkins. "We three Fossils vow to put our name in the history book, because it is ours, and ours alone…" With these words, three orphans embark on an exhilarating journey that takes them to the heights of the stage, screen and sky. Pauline (Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy Fossil (Lucy Boynton) are adopted as infants by eccentric explorer Professor Matthew Brown (Richard Griffiths), whom they affectionately call Great Uncle Matthew (or "Gum" for short). When "Gum" goes missing, his niece Sylvia (Emilia Fox) keeps the family together by taking in lodgers and eventually enrolls the girls in the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. This suits the ambitious Pauline, who longs to act, and Posy, a natural dancer, but Petrova, who yearns to become an aviator, has her own dreams of soaring the skies. The girls' lives in show business are filled with triumphs and lessons learned until "Gum's" surprise return provides the perfect happy ending for them all.
