In my eyes Victoria Wood could do no wrong. I own pretty much everything she ever did and can watch her shows over and over again - including this series.
Whilst this isn't Victoria Wood's best work this series of playlets where she plays a fictionalised version of herself in different modern life situations - a health farm, video dating (remember this was made in 1989!), package holidays, walking holidays, society parties, daytime TV, does have some very funny moments. My personal two favourite episodes are Mens Sana In Thingummy Doo Dah and We'd Quite Like to Apologise which have great supporting turns by performers Victoria Wood used in many of her shows - Celia Imrie, Anne Reid, Meg Johnson, Julie Walters..
All 6 episodes have very funny moments but the series as a whole is not her finest work. Victoria Wood herself even said she hated filming this series (a lot of which was done on location without a studio audience) and that she felt she shouldn't have been in every episode.
I do recommend this series to anyone who is a Victoria Wood fan, but don't expect it to reach the heights of As Seen on TV or Dinnerladies.
