Victoria Wood's presence on the finale made this series extra special for me :)

I've always been a fan of her brand of comedy and she's always been top of my fantasy-panel on You're Fired!

She didn't disappoint - she was a hoot :p

    I love VW - but on YF I thought she was spectacularly unfunny!

    I thought she was hilarious when describing the Atishu ad! :D

    I liked how she, unlike the others, did not gloss over Alex's behaviour.

    I missed it. I can't wait for the repeat - I do hope they are repeating on Saturday - I suppose there's always that online thing too! :)

    I didn't like her... she was too confrontational. I don't want to feel uncomfortable watching You're Fired. I hope we don't have her on again; she's there to be funny, not to stay on the attack the whole time.

    On the other hand, she was very funny offering her take on the Atishu advert.

    I Did Not Find Vw Funny Either , I Thought Her Ridicule Of The Atishu Ad Was Tantamount To Rudeness And I For One Like Lovely Lucinda Thought It Was Unfunny , Just Like Most Of Miss Wood's So Called Comedy Sketches

    I liked the way she re-wrote the Atishu ad. Very typically Victoria Wood.

    I totally agree with both your comments. I felt uncomfortable watching. I love her in dinner ladies etc but this was not at all funny in my opinion. It just didn't feel or sound right when she was on the panel - there were hardly any positives. She seemed to be very confrontational and didn't seem to have anything particularly good to say.

    I thought it was brilliant!! Luckily everyone is different.

    Love that bit but sadly that was it. She was too serious for me & not the VW I know & love.

    I agree totally with your first paragraph but I thought her take on the Atishu ad was predictable and unamusing.

    I thought she came across as a sad old @r$e.

    She's brilliant.

    I think a lot of people assume that because someone is a comedian in an act they have no serious side to their personalites.

    She made a lot of good, intelligent, points.

    Her take on the tissue ad was hilarious but it is true that a lot of comedians would have said much the same things. That's because they pick up on the defects that were actually there for all to see.
