Review of dinnerladies

dinnerladies (1998–2000)
9/10
A funny and hopeful sitcom
11 April 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Let's see...during the course of this series you have a woman who is implied to be in an abusive marriage, a man gets cancer, two people die (one of them a main character), a woman gets divorced and has a nervous breakdown, another woman has a baby out of wedlock and abandons him (temporarily). All of them end up losing their jobs...and this is a comedy.

And a very funny one it is. Count me as a Johnny-come-lately to the Victoria Wood fan club having only recently discovered this wonderful comedienne. Being American, a lot of the jokes in this series go over my head but I still get plenty of them and the underlying theme of how relationships (romantic and non-) can help you get through the struggles of life is universal.
