Brilliant November 23, 2008
Fantastic, addictive and genius. Such a shame there wasn't any more. I absolutely loved it and have watched it over and over again. Lots of funny one liners that will have your ribs aching from laughing even when you know what's coming. It's great viewing and extremely entertaining.

As one of the other reviewers has already said, only 2 series and definitely better for it. That's part of what makes this a classic comedy. It's the type of series you can watch over and over, know what lines are coming and be laughing at them before you get to them. The thought of "Keiths antie Dot from Cockermouth ate a raffia drinks coster" still has me howling out loud even after the several hundredth time I've heard it. There are so many classic moments in this series, it's simply impossible to name anywhere near all of them. It's absolutely superb and, let's face it, with the geniuses that are Victoria Wood and Julie Walters at the helm, how could this be anything less than sheer brilliance?

dinnerladies is the best comedy show ever. I was introduced to this by a freind, and after seeing just one episode, I was hooked. The interaction between the characters is great and the one liners are pure gold. familier faces include Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston and Anne Reid. People may also recognise Mavis from Corrie AKA Thelma Barlow. Shame on you, Victoria for making just 2 series. Al least bring it back for a one hour special!

I loved this series when it was on telly but had forgotten how funny it really was and how great the cast are[many the usual faces you see in Victoria Wood shows such as Celia Imrie,Duncan Preston & Julie Walters].Dolly[mavis from corrie] cracks me up the most with her cutting remarks to poor Jean about her hips and "how this wouldn't have happened at the Cafe Bon Bon".
Victoria Wood is a genius casting herself as Bren who for all intents and purposes is the straight character,allowing the others to crack the one liners.
The simmering love story between Bren and Tony makes you just want to bang their heads together but its all worth the agony of"will they won't they " by the end of the second series
Julie Walters is hilarious as Brens mum Pertulia Gordino,as is Celia Imrie as Phillipa and Maxine Peak as Twink to name but a few.
I bet they had a great laugh when they were making this.Money well spent buying this DVD.
a true classic comedy series!!! March 14, 2008

i orginallly had this on vhs video and even though i must have watched it 20 times from start to finish it still makes me howl with laughter
be it the on/off romance between bren(victoria wood) and tony...the midlife crises of dolly and jean..the couldnt give a care attitude of twinkle...or the outrageous, wind breaking, friend to stars, mother from hell played by julia walters
the cast it amazing....and many are regulars on tv now from shameless to coronation street...plus guest appearances by thora hird, eric sykes, dora bryan..and even jimmy krankie!
comedy moments such as the frozen sperm in the freezer...norman the breadmans accident on a diving board in guernsey...
everytime you watch you laugh at the jokes you know and yet still have new ones you haven't noticed before..i promise!
