Watch the sequel: • Nearly a Happy Ending ...
Talent is a play with music written by Victoria Wood, first performed in 1978. It centres on two friends, one of whom is about to enter a talent contest in a run down nightclub. Commissioned for the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, it received much acclaim and transferred to a London run in 1979. That same year a television adaptation was broadcast. It was the first time Victoria Wood and Julie Walters appeared together on TV.
A mixture of dialogue and music, one of its tunes inspired The Smiths song Rusholme Ruffians. The script was published by Methuen in 1988, along with another play by Wood, Good Fun.

Absolutely brilliant, I even remember the coloured cotton balls you can’t find those anywhere now. I was 18 when this was first released and so grateful for it being on here, thank you so much for a wonderful trip down memory lane. What an amazing talent Victoria Wood was and still leaves her legacy and the fabulous Julie Walters!

@th8257 Год назад

The beginning in particular is a real blast from the past. The end of the 70s and the end period of industrial britain. Grey, dirty buildings. People smoking on buses. A world where people let their dogs wander round the streets and Sundays were silent.

This was the first time I ever saw them. I was 11, staying in my friends for the night, her older sister was babysitting, all our parents had gone out. We watched this. We were all really shocked by it lol! Times change and the shockability bar moves further, much faster. It wouldnt faze an 11 year old the same way today

@Fatima502 2 года назад

I remember watching this in 1979. The behaviour of the compere didn't seem as creepy in those days. I'm horrified to reflect that some of might not have thought it was a big deal for him to grope Maureen in that fashion. Now that moment, as well as Mel's dismissal of Julie, is incredibly jarring.

@brucedanton3669 Год назад

I was 11 in 1979 also, although I don't remember this being on at the time-I guess of course it was on ITV at the time, not on the BBC anyway. Thank you!

I have loved Victoria Wood since I was a kid, but to my eternal shame had no idea this play even existed. You live and learn and sometimes discover something utterly wonderful x

@robertclatworthy1857 2 года назад

Typically Northern feeling to the whole story. Victoria was such a wonderful Writer and Actress. Julie worked so well with Victoria, they make the sketch so realistic. We miss your talent so much Victoria. Thank god we still have Julie. Rest In Peace Vic

God, she was talented. I keep on finding Victoria’s “old” but completely new to me works, and they’re all brilliant. I’m always hit to my stomach with a genuine sadness that she’s died. She was completely before her time with her observations on society and just life really. She was a true feminist in my opinion. Julie Walters is always superb…though I haven’t watched more than 10 minutes of “Mamma Mia”…that’s not her fault! Thanks for allowing us all to enjoy this play. 😊

@juliet7703 10 месяцев назад

Completely agree with you. So much fun finding old ones with Victoria. Just discovered Mens Sana in Thingummy Doodah about her visit to the health farm which was of course hilarious 😅. If you have not already seen it I highly recommended

@th8257 Год назад

The man (Mel) talking at 37:40 about getting Julie as a schoolgirl pregnant is all too common of society back then. A lot of men viewed underage girls as fair game ("Rita, Sue and Bob too" in the 80s was also based on a predatory older man preying on schoolgirls). This was the era of the dirty old man, whether it was Sid James in the Carry on films, Benny Hill or a large number of sitcom characters. It's no wonder looking back that Jimmy Saville got away with it for so long. He fit right in to the culture.

@linmonash1244 Год назад

Brilliant talents - both - and content ubiquitous and still shocking. Just how pervasive the sexual exploitation of so many vulnerable 'hopefuls'. Wienstein shows us it continued for decades. And today? Doubt it's gone - just more hidden.

@marklola12 Год назад

I ave to say Victoria seems to natural here, the way her acting flows it seems natural, some of her later things seem force and awkward compared to this to me

@hometruths9411 Месяц назад

Despite her huge talent it's interesting how she always played the rathervshy, awkward, self effacing character in her plays, leaving Julie to shine. I wonder how much her broad bone figure affected her as it seems to come up so much in her plays and sketches. There's an inner sadness there.

@MatgoStyles 4 года назад

Are you for real? The British is famous for naturalism in comedy and drama. This is a rare TV musical from 1979 so how on Earth can you use it to make such a sweeping judgement?
