Have you seen the film Finding Your Feet? I watched it fairly recently and can recommend it thoroughly. Celia Imrie is great in it. It's funny how that happens, isn't it? I ended up watching some dinnerladies outtakes and clips of Victoria Wood doing warm up for the audience of the series. Then some videos of Maxine Peake talking about her career. And I ended up on a sad note with Maxine and Julie Walters remembering working with Victoria, and Anne Reid on the news on the day of Victoria's death. I do feel lucky to have briefly seen Victoria live when she spoke about Gloria Swanson's career during a special event. Naturally she did it in her own special way and had everyone cracking up. This was in 2015. After the show I was standing at the bar, and someone with me kind of looked behind me and grinned. Someone brushed against my shoulder and it was none other than Victoria herself. We exchanged a little smile, but she was gone before it registered properly. I kind of wish I'd had more time to enjoy the moment, but at the same time it's nice to be able to say that I've made physical contact with Victoria Wood's puffa jacket.</blockquote>
