Trimmings and more.

The highlight of Christmas 2020 television was this, a repeat from twenty years ago, a sign of the times, how bad TV comedy is now, and just how incredibly amazing Victoria Wood and co were at the time.

It's an incredibly polished show, the format pokes fun at the huge growth in reality TV that assaulted our screens in 2000, the humour is as relevant and funny now as it was then, it simply hasn't dated.

Favourite scenes include the opening, Victoria and Julie as the old crones, but the piece de resistence, remains the finale where Wood takes on the role of Anne Widdecombe.

It makes me so incredibly sad to think that Victoria passed away at such a young age. This shows just how awesome she was.

Awesome, 10/10.
