The late Victoria Wood was known for many things when it came to her work as a comedian and actress and one of those things that was much-loved by fans was Dinnerladies.
The BBC comedy ran for two series between 1998 to 2000 and centred around the staff and customers of a canteen at a fictional factory in Manchester, named HWD Components, but with main character of Brenda Furlong, played by Victoria, at its heart.
At its peak. the show drew in 16 million viewers and was written entirely by Victoria, with no additional contributors or script editor. It also introduced viewers to many upcoming actresses who have gone on to become big names in Hollywood and in soaps such as Coronation Street.
