This old Dinnerladies clip has been going wildly viral and it’s 18 seconds to make your day so much better
The fabulous sitcom Dinnerladies by the late, great Victoria Wood has been going wildly viral on Twitter and it’s just the escape we needed from everything else going on right now.
It was shared by writer and biographer @JamesAHogg2 – something of a past master at sharing golden nuggets of entertainment past – and this one’s a proper cracker.
If I'd written this line I'd have retired to an island somewhere with a permanent grin on my face.

Golden!
Is it sad that I could say all the lines before opening the clip.

No it isn't!

Thelma’s viagra monologue is the high water mark of the British sitcom genre. Dinnerladies is even better than Fawlty Towers and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

I try to ensure that I never chance upon a repeat of dinnerladies when flicking through the channels, because if I do I always end up watching the whole thing – by which I mean both series.

My sister has been buying me ‘Charlie’ for Christmas every year because of this!
Obviously, I oblige with the line.

We’re with this person.
I'd forgotten about this scene. What a line. ❤️ https://t.co/IxNQzfL5cs

And if that’s put you in the mood for a full episode, it’s back on BBC4 at 8pm on 20 December.
