Indeed, I have always thought that Victoria Wood was a witless and unfunny but her description of that advert was hilarious and the funniest thing she has ever done to my knowledge.

She wasn't there to do a stand up routine (sitting down). Her crit of the advert was hilarious - as was her comment on Alex and Lee's "good looks", that they are knitting pattern cover-types and should be pointing at each other's cardies - Alex was not amused at that but I certainly was.
Also the Dual bottle resembling a type of bin you would find in a ladies lavatory...

I only caught the 'You're Hired' bit of the show so I saw her description of the Atishu advert but missed what she said about Lucinda and Alex. Can anyone fill me in on that as I am a big Victoria Wood fan and would have turned over earlier if I had realised she was on.

She was talking about the advert rather than the team, so she didn't say anything about Lucinda or Alex that I can remember. But she had been on the panel with Helene and Alex on 'You're Fired!' and had a few things to say then...
She was spot on. But I suppose if you worked at putting something like that together, despite having no experience in that area, and someone (correctly and funnily) trashed it, I guess it would sting a bit.

Indeed! Ms Wood is a national treasure. How funny.
