Entertainment dinnerladies Victoria Wood
This hilarious Dinnerladies clip will never get old and it’s just the 18 seconds we needed at the end (nearly) of a very long year
The fabulous sitcom Dinnerladies by the late, great Victoria Wood has no end of memorable moments but if we had to pick one then it would surely be this.
It was shared by writer and biographer @JamesAHogg2 – something of a past master at sharing golden nuggets of entertainment past – and it’s always guaranteed to go viral whenever it’s posted, just as it did back in the day when James had this to say about it.
If I'd written this line I'd have retired to an island somewhere with a permanent grin on my face.

Just what we needed at the end of another – another! – very long year.
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.
