Six-part series celebrating the comedy of Victoria Wood. The League of Gentlemen (Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith) present this episode, which explores Victoria's take on television.
Victoria was a self-confessed TV addict, and she would watch anything and everything - in fact, the worse the programmes were, the more she enjoyed them. She laughed at the sheer nonsense of the TV world before turning it on itself by creating some of the most groundbreaking parodies ever seen.
This episode looks at a typical day of TV from Victoria's unique perspective. Classic clips include banal TV presenters Marjorie and Joan and Sally and Martin, Acorn Antiques and Vic's pitch-perfect pastiche of a 1960s episode of Coronation Street.
The League of Gentlemen also look at Victoria's pioneering mockumentaries that changed the comedy landscape.
