Grandmashazzie Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Another gone too soon. I hadn't realised she was ill. The dreaded c again. It seems if you get over 60 you have a very high chance of dying from cancer. I wonder what the statistics are. Is it my imagination, are more getting cancer, than say my mums generation. She and her friends mainly had strokes or heart disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Oh my word, what a shock! I didn't know she was ill either. Such a funny & talented lady, gone way too soon She's made me laugh so hard over the years... "Beat me on the bottom with the woman's weekly" was a classic line Loved Acorn Antiques too. So very sad to have lost her. R.I.P. Victoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Far, far too young. She was hysterically funny and so clever; I still have her Xmas special recorded from 2 years ago and regularly watch it. So much talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Very sad to hear it - a genuinely funny lady, but 'Housewife, 49' will stay in my memory as one of the best things she ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I haven't been attached to the news today and this is the first I've heard of it. That is shocking. In my head she's only in her 40s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 This is such a shock, I really thought she was younger, but 62 is still too young R.I.P. Victoria Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGirlsMum Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Very sad , she was sheer brilliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 As soon as I saw this my heart sunk. We have lost so many decent people in the celebrity world this yr , no hint of scandal. I too loved her songs esp "let's do it" and dinner ladies was brilliant. RIP Victoria. You will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Such a funny lady, who seemed genuinely warm and kind. 62 is no age. I used to watch her show in the 80's with my mum, amd her laughing so much at the Lets Do it! song I too loved Dinner Ladies, and her gentle way with the script. She will be missed, RIP Ms Woods.

She will be missed, RIP Ms Woods.] I also loved the "Lets do it" song - it was just fabulous and right for the era at the time. Have lost a load of good celebs this year already = not a good year - she and I are the same age - makes you glad to be healthy!. Maybe not to complain of the old aches and pains so much!

chickencam Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I remember watching her in the 80's when I was growing up. She was so witty, great observational comedy RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Amazing having read Wiki she didn't like her looks, but she blossomed into an attractive middle-aged woman. Lost the wt and had a nice hairstyle and lovely eyes. I remember her on That's Life - whoever advised her on clothes etc needed glasses. So saddened by the loss of this lovely funny lady.
