Victoria Wood's love of Regency Romance

Watching a documentary on the career of the late lamented Victoria Wood, I remembered how side-splittingly funny almost all her work was. Was she feted outside the UK - I don't know, but I encourage any of my readers to look at all of her TV shows. Including this fond and very funny bonnet medley with the wonderful Alan Rickman, the splendid Geraldine McEwan, the darling Bill Patterson and Imelda Staunton. Plus some costume drama surprises. It was a testament to her reputation that such actors would spoof themselves in her wonderful little piece.
