Hmm. In reference to the "Delores Umbridge" comments, it might surprise our American friends to know that the only real unknowns in the Harry Potter movies were the leads. They were supported by a well seasoned and brilliant cast of English actors.
Considering many of Victoria's favourite friends who appeared in most of her plays and skits were in Harry Potter, I always thought it would have been lovely if she had been invited to appear in at least one of the movies as a painting or something.
I've never seen this before, such genius. The amount of Top Notch British Actors that Victoria Wood could summon at any given moment to appear in her parodies etc is just a testiment to how bloody good she was! RIP Victoria you were a Legend!
The amount of talent in this. She got anyone she wanted to work with her! Apparently if you ever got a note or email saying "Victoria Wood would like...", you didn't bother reading anymore, you just agreed to it. I know I would have.
I don't really understand how someone can miss someone they didn't see in their daily life or even at all personally, especially when you can basically visit him every single day. I just did by watching this video I had never seen before. I get that it's sad when someone passes away, but actors don't usually have much impact on our day-to-day.
@@StargazerNorth1 she actually does this in another sketch too! I just cant remember which one. found it, another victoria wood parody scrooge! th-cam.com/video/8gMbqcKZM0Y/w-d-xo.html
Watching this video late at night because I can't sleep is certainly better than a slap in the La-las with an antique mangel! I can be assured soon, sleep will not escape the junket pot!
The third and last project in which Alan Rickman & Geraldine McEwan play together. She's so talented, I can't believe she has only received one award in her entire career (according to IMDB that is)!
Who's the stupid alien who DIDN'T LIKE this video????? I'm an ADDICT!!!! I could listen to Mr. Alan Sexy Rickman reciting the phonebook or watch a video of him just staring blankly out of the window for hours.... I definately need to stop doing this, every time I watch his videos or listen to his voice my heart beats soooooo damn fast that I'm surely having a failure one of these days...... But well, I'll have a happy depart from this world..... Awwwwwwhhhhh, Mr. Rickman..... I LOVE YOU.........
You know the man who just died suddenly could have been saved if he had a dose of Alan Rickman. He's like a box of Kittens only more attractive and far cuter! :3
Richard E Grant had to turn down the role of the Sherriff on Nottingham in Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves before Rickman was offered it. So it's interesting to see them both in the same scene here.
It's too scary that so many viewers of this brilliant parody, those who didn't grow up with the humour of Victoria Wood's comic genius, can only visualise British actors such as Imelda Staunton in one role she played,ie Dolorus Umbridge. Rickman is seen as doing himself down, by the same crowd, because he was in Die Hard etc and in this he's romping around in high camp. America has never had the rep theatre system, so for one writer to have her own couterie of friends who'd drop everything at a moment's notice to appear in her "next big thing" is a step too far for them to understand. Tough titties! We get it and we love it. This will stand as a testament to the brilliance of all concerned. 💖
@DiamondzR4Eva100, she says, "That's better than a slap in the la-las with an antique mangle, is it not?" A mangle is a double roller device for squeezing water out of clothing. (Think of an old antique washing machine from 80 years ago, the heavy rollers--that's the mangle.) And yes, it would really hurt to get whacked by one of those, yes it would.
LOL Alan's sidekick reminds me of the Beadle from the 2007 revial cast stage production of Sweeney Todd, not the movie (though sorta looks like Stan Shunpike) and come to think of it Alan looks like Judge Turpin, though younger. So we have Beadle Bamford and Judge Turpin :)
Alan Rickman , Pete Postlewaite, Geradine Mc kewan and of course Victoria . Talent like that would be hard to replace. May they all rest in peace.
All this RIPing. Goodness. We live we die. Enjoy their works, RIP is for using at the time a person dies, not decades later.
Alan Rickman and the comedy writing of the late Victoria Wood!!! R.I.P. to both of them, irreplaceable.
Dont forget Pete Postlewaite.
Dont forget Pete Postlewaite. And Geraldine Mc Kewan .
Genius writer. Genius performers. We were privileged to have the talent of VW in our telly boxes.
Hmm. In reference to the "Delores Umbridge" comments, it might surprise our American friends to know that the only real unknowns in the Harry Potter movies were the leads. They were supported by a well seasoned and brilliant cast of English actors.
This American wasn't surprised at all. Then again, I'm a bit of an anglophile.
@@hortondlfn1994 Nor I. Plus I knew the Brits better myself as I'm a HUGE Anglophile.
And they did very well. I prefer the books, but the Harry Potter movies were classic. .
Considering many of Victoria's favourite friends who appeared in most of her plays and skits were in Harry Potter, I always thought it would have been lovely if she had been invited to appear in at least one of the movies as a painting or something.
The best ever combination. R.I.P to Alan and Victoria🇳🇿❣️
I've never seen this before, such genius. The amount of Top Notch British Actors that Victoria Wood could summon at any given moment to appear in her parodies etc is just a testiment to how bloody good she was! RIP Victoria you were a Legend!
Even the outfits look as if they went straight to the set of _Sense and Sensibility_ and borrowed all the clothes.
What a a cast all my British favs in one place ❤
The amount of talent in this. She got anyone she wanted to work with her! Apparently if you ever got a note or email saying "Victoria Wood would like...", you didn't bother reading anymore, you just agreed to it. I know I would have.
I miss you so, Alan Rickman... thank you for the beautiful voice, smile, you... thank you for the beautiful you...
I don't think I'll ever stop missing him for the rest of my life. :(

kuabci Yup, true. but he was one of a kind, to watch
Icha74 I love alan rickman
"Miss Tweed. I can't think you and I have any reason for bandage."
"...Badinage." 😂
The biscuit moment is just genius
You can see the rest of them dying inside. Fair play to Delia for sending herself up so gamely!
@@StargazerNorth1 she actually does this in another sketch too! I just cant remember which one. found it, another victoria wood parody scrooge! th-cam.com/video/8gMbqcKZM0Y/w-d-xo.html
I came across this video and I already miss Alan Rickman. He was a wonderful talented man.
Thank you so much for uploading this
And incredible Immelda Staunton & Richard E grant. Indeed this is priceless. Thanks for the upload. 😊🎉
This has such a great cast. Amazing.
"I find you very suppository, miss!"

Geraldine McEwan was so wonderful,,,, from "Oranges Aren't the only Fruit" through Red Dwarf and this gem.
Best Miss Marple ever!
Superb as the evil sadist, Sister Bridget in 'The Magdalene Sisters'.
Let us not forget "Mulberry"!
"Bet your Farthing on the wrong Whippet there..." 😂😂😂
Missing dear Alan Rickman--Thanks for this treat.
Imelda and Alan... those two are to funny!!!!
rest in peace, you brilliant star.
G'Day,Just found this Sublime,Sadly with passing of time so many of the cast no longer with us!
Oh the talent, so, so missed.
'A slap in the lalas with an antique mangle!' This is one of the best comedy lines I've ever wet my knickers to! 😂🤣😂🙏
RIP Pete and Alan. Immortal talents, both of them.
Also James Bolam, from the likely lads !
@@beverlybradley5485 For real?? I'm thinking 'New Tricks'.
Alan I miss you so much

TheMoonlight2887 And you call somebody else a stupid alien? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😉😂😉😉😂😂😂😃😃😃😃😃
I feel the same even now he's gone :( x
That comedic timing is everything my gaaad! LMAO its hilarious
My god, look at the stars in this show!
Along with brief encounter this is Victoria’s best work, plus dinner ladies of course❤❤❤❤
Farewell Victoria Wood.
Wish this was longer
Oh GOSH it's sooo funny Alan and his affixed sideburns and all this injuries, blood and wound dressings just hilarious!
I will love ALAN forever,😍
Rip sir
Oh what joyously silly twaddle acted superbly! R.I.P. Alan, Pete and of course Victoria Wood without whom none of this would have been possible
I see my Lady has espied the cocoa in the manure heap. Pure gold.
Be assured the minnow shall not escape the junket pot!
I could imagine them all having fun playing this spoof on a period drama! I’ve never seen this before!.
Words cannot describe how much I love this!
So many of my favourite actors all together, plus a bonus VW creation I've never seen before.
i love you ALAN RICKMAN
Altogether hilarious & how nice to see Honeysuckle Weekes (FOYLE'S WAR) & the ever-hysterically nasty Geraldine McKewan (except as Miss Marple:)
Can't stop laughing... How is it I've never seen this before?
God I love Richard E Grant, he is so handsome :D
tommi eves Yes, & so brilliant!
I like him in "Dracula" and "Withnail and I" 😍
My favorite of all the Grants.
We are missing this silly humour on our screens now...just not the same.. Phyllis dylliss wyliss...
Altogether hilarious & how nice to see Honeysuckle Weekes (FOYLE) & the ever-sweet & sour Geraldine McEwan!!
Weeks oh no!
Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Miss Tweed ftw. 'Can't you stick your hands in your muff?' RIP Pete.
You know the man who just died suddenly could have been saved if he had a dose of Alan Rickman. He's like a box of Kittens only more attractive and far cuter! :3
Imelda Staunton is being so Mrs. Palmer, yet again!! 8D
thanks a lot for this vid of Alan!
5* and faved!
You made a "Rickmaniac" very happy!^^
Wood and McKewan knock the rest of the cast off the set ...........Fantastic
miss them both..
Thus Victoria Wood made Charles Dickens, Jane Austin , The Bronte sisters , Mrs Gaskell. Laugh so much they rolled I their graves. It's very funny.
"Put it in our pipes and SMOKEEEE IT!"
This is too funny! I absolutely love this humor!
Richard E Grant had to turn down the role of the Sherriff on Nottingham in Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves before Rickman was offered it. So it's interesting to see them both in the same scene here.
What a gem!
ahhh..the delightful Honeysuckle Rose..wonderful.
What fun!
'heaven bestride my face!' lol
This made me giggle.
so true r.i.p
This is funny. love imelda staunton. Check out Victoria Wood's parody of Brief Encounter
loved it thanks
This was amazing! Thanks for posting!!!!
"I have won 5 guiness! You can have a new house and a bonnet!"
I love it! Gorgeous!
Heaven bestride my face? OMG!
So awesome
Brilliant!
“Put it in our pipes and smoke it”… there is a line from Victoria Woods smile song if ever I heard one!
Put it in your pipe...is an old Lancashire saying meaning: take what is coming to you.
@@annemariecallaghan2680es I am aware of that, thanks. My mother is from Lancashire.
If we continue like this, Imelda Staunton may be the only one in this sketch still with us. :(
+MdmeButterfication Honeysuckle Weeks?
Satin Swallow The magnificent Annie Reid & Richard E Grant are still w us... fortunately.
Mr. Bill Patterson is in Outlander. Took me a minute but that inflection is unmistakable.
@@dhandley8893 As is Sir Derek Jacoby
and now victoria has gone too. so very sad
Imelda Staunton also played (admirably) in ANTONIA AND JANE with the equally wonderful Saskia Reeves. :-)
Absolute genius, and on a par with Eric and Ernie deservedly.
It's Prof. Umbridge!
@tezufuji It might be the new house, but I think what really changed Alice's mind was the prospect of a new bonnet!
Ye Gods, it's GRUBER.
Idole
BANDAGE
its like one episode of Downton Abbey everything happens!!!! :D
Delia Smith - absolutely steals the scene.
Come in lets be aving you.
Otherwise known as old piss head
My lady knows a pig's bladder from a handrail...
@Chris Power I must admit that that phrase has certainly become part of my vocabulary ... People give me an odd look when I say it! 😂
An echo of Shakespeare from Hamlet...I know a hawk from a handsaw.
Hey I´m the 100th who says: thumps up!
It´s verry good!
LOL this has Alan and Umbridge lady in is ahaha
Imelda Staunton!

Dear Diary
@DiamondzR4Eva100, she says, "That's better than a slap in the la-las with an antique mangle, is it not?" A mangle is a double roller device for squeezing water out of clothing. (Think of an old antique washing machine from 80 years ago, the heavy rollers--that's the mangle.) And yes, it would really hurt to get whacked by one of those, yes it would.
Or a mangle-wurzel i.e. a turnip. They go woody when old. Either one would make your eyes water.
@nessagirl1911 ...who also plays Charlotte Palmer in Sense and Sensibility along with Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon.
emolypse123, that is Imelda Staunton, the actress who played Dolores Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix.
around 1:00 it looks like Delores Umbridge.LOL!i notice that they use the cast that was with Alan before the HP movies.
everyone talks about Alan Rickman. what about Imelda Staunton (UMBRIDGE)? she's very funny in this one
Alan Rickman.... I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
@tezufuji absolutely agreed! ;-)
@LizHouse18 Me temo que el humor se pierde en la traducción, pero voy a tratar de traducir, si todavía quiere subtítulos.
LOL Alan's sidekick reminds me of the Beadle from the 2007 revial cast stage production of Sweeney Todd, not the movie (though sorta looks like Stan Shunpike) and come to think of it Alan looks like Judge Turpin, though younger. So we have Beadle Bamford and Judge Turpin :)
How come prof. umbridge always has to be in these kinds of movies?I think she also played in Sense and Sensebility.
It' Prof. Umbridge! And Mortianna the witch from Robin Hood: King of thieves!
The set reminds me of the house in Emma with Romola Garai. Could it be the same house?
I thought the same, I think it is!
BRILLANT work alan!! simply brillaint!!!!!! mmmmmmmm sexy and funny among other thing as ever
