I do too. I still mark April 20th on my calendar...just to remember. I was heartbroken when she died...as were millions, of course...and I had to take off a couple of days to get used to the idea. If there is any human we needed two more decades of...it is Victoria Wood. 💖💖💖
same as me! The issue I have, is the regular chain high street cafes here are just a teabag in a pot. For £2.50 or so. Rip off. If it was loose leaf properly infusing, I wouldn't begrudge paying it.
You're lucky to find anywhere that even offers the pot!!! I'd be happy to have the teabag if it came in the pot.. everywhere I go I can only find coffee shops which seem to think that a cheap teabag, in a not very clean cup(just because it went through the dishwasher doesn't mean it came out clean -use your eyes people!), and doused in warm water will pass for tea. Or the worst crime of all...the plastic lined paper cup! 🤢 So all you can taste is the toxins of the cup! I'm sure that the disposable cup is responsible for the rise of coffee, it's strong enough to mask the plastic & paper flavour. Oh.. what I would give for a proper tea shop 😭 they all seemed to vanish around the same time around here. No more fresh baking,or fragrant tea. Just over roasted,bitter coffee in plastic cups with plastic wrapped,long- life sugar slabs masquerading as cake. Most people seem to have forgotten what the real thing tastes like.
I heard on radio several years ago, whilst driving, a skit on the wonders of the British Empire. I think it was by Victoria Wood and it was hilarious. She was thanking countries in the Empire for all they provided to Britain, but in a very humorous and sardonic way. I have never heard it again and would ask if anyone knows about this skit?
Such a brilliantly talented woman, and so sad to think that her hideously painful death from oesophageal cancer might very well have been caused by constantly drinking scalding cups of tea for years - there really should be a health warning on packets of tea and coffee - don't drink scalding hot liquid - let it cool down a bit first, to avoid damaging your oesophagus. I've known a few tea drinkers who insisted on drinking boiling tea for years, and they have all been stricken with this horrible cancer. I don't know why they did it - something to do with living in the UK's miserable, cold climate, perhaps - and wanting to warm themselves up quickly. A comforting, but potentially dangerous habit. Victoria Wood cheered so many of us up with her superbly comical outlook on life - our weary world has a serious laughter deficiency without her.
I am a huge tea drinker, at least 10 cups a day and my partner is even worse than me, he drinks about 20 cups a day. We do manage to hold down full-time jobs as well LOL.
"Skygazer" and spouse drink 30 cups of 🌿tea 🌿a day between them.... That's a lot of caffeine🤔..... If they stopped, they would get significant headaches.... 😢🇬🇧🌿😢🌿🤔
Watching this documentary is a yearly tradition. Victoria Wood was so lovely ❤
I miss her. I am pleased that you can watch this documentary over and over...I am a re-watcher as well.
Interesting in depth history of Tea, which we all love, or most of us anyway!
I love it.
Victoria Wood. The Pride of Prestwich. Gone to soon but never to be forgotten.
I still miss her

Tea was introduced to Britain by Catherine of Braganza from Portugal who married King Charles II.
It's only now, for the first time, in this video, that I'm seeing the resemblance between Victoria Wood and Mel Giedroyc! In looks and in manner.
Am I the only one who drinks coffee when out and then tea when home or at anyone else’s house.
Nope!
same as me!

Minestrone's off! Pure genius :)
She is Pure Genius. I agree. We just passed the 5th Anniversary of her death on April 20th...I miss her.
Estoy viendo y sintiendo la tristeza e impotente por no poder ayudar mas, UNICEF lo mas grande.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for this x
Nice.

No way boiling water causes cancer. I refuse to believe such a thing.
