Creator:Victoria Wood

Dinnerladies is a BBC sitcom written by and starring Victoria Wood that chronicles the antics of a group of workers in a canteen in the north of England. Bren tries to maintain a semblance of order in amongst the chaos, while dealing with the canteen supervisor, slightly sex-obsessed cancer sufferer Tony. Dolly and Jean are the bickering menopausal older women, always at odds but best friends beneath it all. Then there's thick-as-two-short-planks Anita, and the terminally uninterested Twinkle, more concerned with having a good time than anything else. Making up the motley crew are military man handyman Stan, all rules and regulations, and ditzy Philippa, who never seems to get anything right.

Four members of the cast I know well from Coronation Street, which I loved until it turned into a violent, scandal-obse…

Set in the canteen of a factory in Manchester, these two BBC series follow the day-to-day antics of it's workers. Writer and star Victoria Wood has assembled a formidable array of character actors to portray an eclectic mix of characters to ensure that there are a plethora of daft scenarios to explore across the sixteen episodes.
