There's very few box sets which I'll cheerfully sit through time and again, Dinnerladies is definitely THE one. Every character, no matter how brief his/her appearance, is an absolute gem. VW wasn't stingy or too precious, she made sure everyone had a rib achingly funny line to deliver. We're coming up to five years since her death and I still find it tough to think there's not going to be any new material from her.
Also Kate robins now does Celeb goggle box she is great love this character it’s so funny when she says I was going to go on mastermind but I cannot sit on leather
I will always prefer the heavy vibrato on "I'm flying high" she did (here) whenever she first started playing the part over the modified notes on the line she adopted later in her career as Elphaba.
there have been plenty of vocalists the were better than idina, thats the beauty of theatre though. its about creating your own authentic version of the character. both ladies did amazing jobs.
