This is so so sad. I remember seeing her " Live " many years ago and I came out of the theatre with my jaw aching because I laughed so much.

A true comedy great ....

And me. Circa 1990. Dinnerladies is sublime. It's like losing a big sister.

ALL taken by cancer.. ( since this is running related ) I may have to run somewhere for cancer as a result..

I just looked on the news.  I had no idea she was ill.  What a body of work she leaves behind.

So sad. I can actually remember winning on New Faces in 1974. That dates me.

All the more glad I ran the Brighton 10k for Cancer Research UK. Evil, cruel disease.

She's one of my mum's all time favourites😕😆sure I saw a special programme on her on tv not that long ago. Very funny lady and very down to earth. I was shocked when I heard it on the radio earlier. Far too young....

Cancer is taking too many still.... my aunty for one and another friend last year alone. X

Cancer has raised its ugly head in your house but hey we beat it. Life is so good. We appreciate every seconds of it. It also was a "waker upper" to eat healthy and live healthy and be happy. It works. Good food, good run, good excercises and laughing all the way......

Radio 4 paid her the most incredible tribute : played The Ballad of Barry and Freida (Let's do it) in its entirety, including applause, before the six o'clock news this evening.

 2016 is certainly shaping up to be a sad old year so far. ☹️

I listened to it on radio 4 too. It's just so sad but you can't help but smile listening to her work. Can't believe she's gone x

Prince!    Crikey!!   Another super talented one gone to heaven.  He was a fantastic musician. He could play everything apparently

My niece phoned me this morning to chat about Victoria Wood as we were avid fans. We had a lovely reminisce about our favourite bits from her telly programmes etc.  I have a tattered book of her early scripts for Kelly Marie Tunstall sketches.

I read something about how it's the baby boomers that are dying - that doesn't explain the massive increase on last year.
