Victoria Wood dead: The Dinnerladies comedian's funniest moments remembered

From Acorn Antiques, Dinnerladies, to The Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let's Do It)

It's a painful day for British comedy; one of its most brilliant, endlessly inventive stars has left us. Victoria Wood has passed away from cancer at the age of 62.

Wood's enduring influence lives on in so many of today's biggest stars; an unforgettable talent, straddling wit and intelligence with a surreal dose of pure silliness. She defined a country with her voice: playing off the most ordinary of eccentricities of the British lifestyle (Woman's Weekly, anyone?), to deeper revelations on class divisions tucked neatly within her affable style.

She's left behind several stellar televisions series: Victoria Wood As Seen on TV, Dinnerladies, or Wood and Walters featuring longtime collaborator Julie Walters. To honour this legacy of warmth and laughter, here is some of Wood's very best work, and just a few of her most hilarious moments.
