Spoof documentary of public school girls from 'Victoria Wood As Seen on TV' from 1985. Stars Felicity Montague (later to become Lynn in 'I'm Alan Partridge' (and sharing the same headmistress with 'Mind Your Language')
Me O And they all use a capital P now. All the time. Everything is political as long it’s the right type. The fun and nuance has been wiped from western culture.
@@eccremocarpusscaber5159 As someone who works in comedy clubs every weekend (before lockdown) that's totally untrue. TV follows ratings and doesn't reflect what's in the clubs. After lockdown go out and see what's fun.
She certainly was. Her name is felicity montagu. She’s appeared in so many films and television programmes. ( Bridget jones s diary) and lots of Netflix shows. 👍
@@alwilfrid It's not canned laughter. It's a real live audience watching the show and their laughter being taped. Pre-recorded sketches like this were done on location and then played into the studio during the recording of the show.
Just like University! There was a time when only the most intellectual people went to University (As my Late Mother said- someone who was privately educated too)
BRIONY not so only the “ most “ who could afford it got to university, there were lots of kids far superior intellectually but never got the chance because of lack of finances !
She wasn't an inverted snob. She laughed at the ways of every 'class'. Being from the north can give a suggestion of working classness compared to the south but she went to a Grammar school and a good university, Birmingham. Her ear for the ways of people kind of makes her like an 'every person's Alan Bennett'. There was a depth to her work, particularly in the mini-plays her shows would have.
Victoria's school was a direct grant grammar school during the time she was educated there. That meant that many pupils had their school fees paid for by local authorities. Direct grant schools only ceased to exist in 1976 , by which time Victoria would long have been an Old Girl.
