A quick explanation about the editing for those who care - the footage is taken from a docuseries about the making of the programme. Unfortunately the narrator carried on continuously from the behind the scenes footage to the interviews, and as the whole documentary would inevitably be taken down if I uploaded it, I thought some people may appreciate just seeing the outtakes. So this is exactly as they happen in all three documentaries, in chronological order. You're very welcome. The full documentary series can be bought on NowTV.
Connie Gavin I’ve recently watched all the series and enjoyed them so much. I feel so sad that Victoria Wood is no longer in the world, a huge loss to us all. Great to see her giggling and having such a good time in making the series. Thank you for sharing.
@@jackiecopeland1835agree it was a very sad day when I heard Victoria Wood was no longer with us. So much laughter she brought to the world. May she rest in peace
Victoria Wood was very poorly-served by DVD releases of her fantastic shows. This shows there is a wealth of additional material that could make a new DVD release that *every* Wood fan would buy. All we got on the Dinnerladies dvd was a static menu and the episodes. They didn’t even put subtitles on as an option. Victoria Wood deserves so much better, as this fantastic video shows! Many thanks for posting 😃
I don't understand how it can move up the list. Is that just to make room for the lesser efforts? This was, then, now and always will be No.1, too of the tree. We were so incredibly blessed to live in a time when Victoria Wood was creating gems like this!
@@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars - What I mean is that DINNER LADIES find new audiences and is appreciated more than it was. I agree - it should be right at the top with Fawlty Towers.
I still miss Victoria Wood and when I see something like this, I also remember Caroline Aherne, who died a few months after Victoria in 2016. They were two of the funniest women around, immense talents.
I think, of all the celebrities that have died in recent years Victoria Wood has to be the most heartbreaking. She had so much more to give. it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find another woman, or man, that has her talent, and generosity.
I like the way she wrote. She didn`t as the star, reserve all the funniest lines to herself. She shared them out and gave everybody a chance to be funny.
This was such a fantastic series, just look at the cast! Wood and Walters, Celia Imrie, a very young Maxine Peake, and so many more. A classic in all senses of the word. I remember seeing it when it first aired, decades ago, and its lost nothing over time.
100% brilliant, fantastic, and a BIG thank-you to whoever put these clips together. Victoria on top form as ever - almost as good as watching an actual show. Well done everyone 😉 xxx
British comedy at its best, the genius of Victoria Wood. She created magic with Julie Walters and the cast of dinnerladies. Watched the box set several times and it never fails to make you laugh out loud. This must have been a gift and a joy to all involved in production
we still watch any reshowing of this series as it still has us in fits of laughter a great cast and an amazing writer, much missed Victoria and the dinner ladies (and gents!)
Vic was the only comic whose shows I wouldn't miss, be they on telly or on stage. It was like losing a member of the family when she died. Her brilliance was made so obvious here when stalwarts of British comedy, each highly successful and influential in their own right, were queuing up to work with her. Eric Sykes was a comedy genius in his own right (should that be write?), and both Thora and Dora just oozed comic timing and perfection. An ensemble cast second to none. Sublime comedy. ❤
She really was a comic genius, but to take nothing away from Julie Walters. How she managed to say some of those lines, even after multiple takes, without collapsing is beyond me.
Been away from TH-cam for six weeks. Came back, searched first for VW (of course), and WOW! great NEW item. Thank you very much Connie. Hey Aussies - most episodes are on YT.
This programme was so good, and so funny thanks to TH-cam I still enjoy it. I miss Victoria Wood she was so talented, the Angels must be enjoying her❤❤❤
Having read Julie Walters biography this summer & now in the middle of Celia Imre's, there has been many outbursts of laughter in the works canteen. almost ready to bust my slats reading Victoria Wood's story.
Brilliant series, she should have made more of dinner ladies. She captured the atmosphere of a factory canteen great and the interaction of the staff with the factory workers. Brings back memories
What really comes over is the fantastic atmosphere on set. They are having the best time and obviously adore each other. The mistakes must have been so enjoyable for the audience.
Victoria Wood visited the factory where I worked to get some ideas. Two of the characters were based on real people from our canteen (the manager and the maintenance man).
"This is Maxeane, she hasn't done any acting before ... not even this afternoon" But once Maxeane got going there is no stopping her, a fantastic actress
I probably need to upgrade my laptop but I could barely hear this. That said, it was still a joy to watch. I've got the series in a box set and must have watched each episode numerous times. They never get old.
Lovely footage. Thank you for sharing Connie. I note parts of the studio eg. doors etc. that were (perhaps) being used as part of the set. TC8 was always very much in demand. Studio audiences should always be made to feel part of the show - which indeed they are. If numerous re-takes are needed they might miss the last bus home. Thankfully most are perfectly happy to go along with it all.
Thelma barlow was really funny shes such a great actor i wish victoria was still around so glad we can see her on tv regularly it feels like shes still here
As good today as it ever was, Shakespeare, eat your heart out Victoria Wood has you beat hands down. Her passing was a very great loss to the world of comedy.
I can imagine the scene "yes, I have done a sit-com, and yes, there's a role in it for you. Of course, you're my friend. Quite a big role. You're not going to... you play me mother."
Amazing, but not unsurprising, how many of the main cast (bar Victoria herself, Celia Imrie & Julie Walters) have featured in Coronation Street, either before (Anne Reid, Thelma Barlow, Maxine Peake, Sue Devaney) or after (Shobna Gulati, Andrew Dunn, Duncan Preston) dinnerladies, and most of them (bar Maxine) in multi-episode/regular appearances. Many of the one off guest artists also did prolonged stints on the Street. Unsurprising because Victoria knew class when she saw it, and it's been said that the people who work on Coronation Street are widely regarded in British TV as the most reliable actors in the business. And it shows. There's not a weak link in this cast. Like another brilliantly cast British sitcom, The Good Life, dinnerladies will be one I will always bemoan there are not more episodes of, but acknowledge how perfectly crafted it is as it stands.
People on corrie WERE the most reliable actors in the business. Not any more. If you watch corrie nowadays there’s only a handful of people amongst the 80 or so cast that can actually act. Eastenders is the place in modern time soaps nowadays to find talented actors, regardless of what you think of the plots, stories, tone etc. you cannot deny the people in that soap can act. Corrie though? The wheels have really well and truly fallen off acting wise
When Victoria Wood introduced Maxine Peake (Twink) to the studio audience, she said she'd been to Rada but not done any acting. 14 years before dinner ladies she played Jonny Briggs' sister on BBC1
Thanks for uploading this, such a joy to watch! I was just wondering if you have all three full episodes? I’m situated outside of the uk so I can’t watch it on any uk streaming service and I would love to be able to see them somehow. I’m such a big fan of Victoria and of dinnerladies in particular!
Excellent show and the extras was fab but whoever edited this particular video 👆 needs to have another go! Half didn't make sense due to an embarrassing problem known as "premature editing". I give them come credit - to wipe a 60min show's context out in first 5 seconds surely is an accomplishment?
It would be nice if whoever edited this didnt have epilepsy. Everytime they start to give interesting info it jumps to another clip in motion all ready. That being typed thanks for the video. I am a huge lover of brit coms and was embarassed to only find this one ten years ago or so. I wish there had been more seasons.
@@sarafox5792 perhaps to you. I thanked the person for uploading the video. But it is irritating when people upload videos that are chopped up and done so poorly. There are countless videos where comics are doing their thing and somebody edits it so poorly that you catch the intro of the show the set up of the joke or story then the punchline or point of the story is chopped out. There are thousands of videos titled (the name of the movie TV show whatever ) full show and you click on it only to find the show mentioned in the title page isn't even in the video but 50 snipped cut up clips for other shows are in it. Or it's just the trailer or a link to a site that charges you to watch it or share your credit card info though it says free. If that makes me ungrateful so be it.

Victoria was such a genius. Every episode was absolutely wonderful. So sad that she left us so early. Thank you Victoria x
Every time I watch Victoria wood I feel she's still with us , such a wonderful an funny woman an left us to soon .R.I.P Victoria wood
Nic Thomas she was great
Noeleen Burns she was a genius comedy writer an actress
I agree - hard to believe that she's no longer with us!
It gets better with age.. I hope she knows just how delightful and horrendously funny she was

As the years pass DINNER LADIES continues to move up the ladder of best ever sitcoms.
Sooooo true....
It was already very at the top
I worked in a canteen and this is very true to life.
I don't understand how it can move up the list. Is that just to make room for the lesser efforts? This was, then, now and always will be No.1, too of the tree. We were so incredibly blessed to live in a time when Victoria Wood was creating gems like this!

Has to be one of my all time fave shows... I've binge watched it many many times
Absolutely Brilliant and God Bless Victoria Wood and May She Rest in Peace XXXX ❤❤
Dinnerladies use to make me howl, Very sad when Victoria Wood passed away very talented lady

This was such a fantastic series, just look at the cast! Wood and Walters, Celia Imrie, a very young Maxine Peake, and so many more. A classic in all senses of the word. I remember seeing it when it first aired, decades ago, and its lost nothing over time.
And the brilliant Anne Reid.
I went to see this recorded. The best part was Victoria's warm up act!
Wow! So lucky❤
I would love ❤ Dinner Ladies to have a re run, it tops any of today’s sitcoms by a mile, wonderful cast and an amazing writer Victoria we miss you ❤😂
I was at university with vic and she still owes me 2 bob for Coffee . God bless bless vic still miss you.

Vicky and Julie were such a ridiculous force. Miss you very much Ms Wood. x
I cried when she died x I felt like I knew her x I grew up on her comedy x what an absolutely brilliant woman xx
Brilliant couple of series, very well written, and a fantastic cast. It's amazing how they produced gold from the chaos.
She really was a comic genius, but to take nothing away from Julie Walters. How she managed to say some of those lines, even after multiple takes, without collapsing is beyond me.

no one is irreplaceable apparently, who ever said that had never met or seen Victoria Wood
zanyzoo6767 I concur! 100% a true talent, sadly missed.
One of the best sit-coms ever...just think if....
Well they had to replace Norman, didn't they. He fell off a divin' board in Guernsey.
Well said

Its devastating that there were only 2 series of this.
Victoria Wood visited the factory where I worked to get some ideas. Two of the characters were based on real people from our canteen (the manager and the maintenance man).
Wow!
Sounds about right; I work in a depot, and Tony is more than a few of the managers I've worked with over the years.
"This is Maxeane, she hasn't done any acting before ... not even this afternoon" But once Maxeane got going there is no stopping her, a fantastic actress
It’s spelt Maxine
Have finally caught up with ‘Dinnerladies’ and am reading ‘Let’s do it’. Definitely affects you ❤️
Thank you for this, editing and all :)
Victoria was a GENIUS - such a sad sad loss!

Greatly missed. Victoria Wood. Brilliant Writer Actress. Person. R I P....
Never heard of this series, but after the outtakes, I really want to see all the episodes. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this, it's amazing!

God bless Victoria Wood, sorely missed.
Still one of my favourites it's up there with only fools and horses 🤩
The best talent ever ! R.I.P Victoria Wood 😞
Victoria wood will be sadly missed by us all
A genius and the rest of the cast were fantastic
Only dinner ladies fans will understand this.
Victoria isn't dead, she is in the next room
Also in a wardrobe.
Love it ! Just love it !!!
LOLOL
Are you from Urmston?
@@gtaylor331 You can go two ways.
Victoria Wood singing 'let's do it', genius.
beat me on the bottom with a woman’s weekly!
In the name of God, don't try to remake this the way they did with porridge!
They won’t they have no writers
Just brilliant & sadly missed.
I was lucky enough to work with my mum in an industrial factory canteen all the characters she wrote for this awesome series were 100% believeable.
I've watched the box set many many times......so many that I know the scripts word for word....well almost...
Always brilliant ❤️
Thelma barlow was really funny shes such a great actor i wish victoria was still around so glad we can see her on tv regularly it feels like shes still here
Thora Hird plays a character named Edith. The same name as she played on "Last of the Summer Wine".
As good today as it ever was, Shakespeare, eat your heart out Victoria Wood has you beat hands down. Her passing was a very great loss to the world of comedy.

wonderful!
the guy with the tache ,usually at the counter was funny as fuck
The wonderful Bernard Wrigley
“Give is a tea bag I’ll suck it on the way up.”
FantAstic show!
Talent unbounded, with a stellar British cast. Wood was a genius, & left too soon - she's probably laughing at the irony...

God I I miss Victoria and Dinner Ladies, it was comic genius, she was a genius, the world is a less funny place for her loss,
One of my favorite I love everyone on there
Just loved dinner ladys
Joan Brinklow me too Sam. Miss her and dad lots
I never watch outtakes as I think they are unfamily. but I made an exception here because of such a wonderful cast but I was right the first time.
The guy in the green overalls and a comb over hairstyle reminds me of my dad Bryan!
Same. ❤
Looks like my mum’s work place with auntie June lol 😂 people used to say I sounded like Mavis from Corrie

No. That was Sue Devaney, who plays Jane in this show and Rita in 'Jonny Briggs'.
That was a good programme
RIP the genius that was Victoria Wood.
Julie Walters is a brilliant actress.
This was one of the last great British sitcoms and always gives me a laugh.
