Good documentary, this. Although of all people, Caroline Aherne just popped up. Damn you 2016 and damn you cancer!

Anne Shirley's fetish for puffed sleeves boosted to "screw up camera angles" levels...

it's quite poignant watching her do jokes about lumps and health scares.

Makes one realise what a talent we have lost.

Consummate stand-up comic. She made it look effortless. Her comedy could be quite racy too but she had a way of making it seem not so rude (even if it was!). Her stand-up comedy line about the uterus scar and she had to brush her pubic hair backwards to cover it up - very funny.

The one personality whose death moved me to tears. Loved her so much.

My friend and I still quote from her sketches. "Very wise, with those hips!"
And who could forget "Two soups".

Yeah, I got a bit choked up when I saw Caroline. Such a brutal cull of real talent this year.

I thought At it Again was sublime. Noticed it was made this year but I'm guessing it was filmed in the 2000s?

A total joy. I doubt anything on TV this Christmas will come close to any of the TV programmes featuring her that were aired last night.

The documentary was a bit old wasn't it?

It was just about widescreen, judging by the copyright date & the BBC logo, plus Julie Walters with brown hair instead of grey!

Oh & she was still married to Soprendo too!

It was from 2001 according to the text on freesat.

I heard them say something about 4 years ago in 1994, so it's almost 20 years old. Still interesting though.

It was wonderful and I think we are very lucky to have lived at a time we could see her at her best, such a great talent doesn't come along that often.

At it Again was originally billed as Victoria Wood at the Albert and Victoria Wood Live at the Albert Hall (depending on the broadcast or DVD version), the culmination of her At it Again tour in 2001. It appears that At the Albert has been repackaged this year.

DVD runs 18 minutes longer than the version aired on Sunday.

Enjoyed the documentary, it brought back some nice memories

I'd forgotten how bloody annoying Caroline Aherne's voice was though.
