RIP, famous person

[DanaC]

Victoria Wood. I'm a bit gutted by this. Damn, she was only 62.

The name probably means little to non-Brits - but she was a bit of a national treasure over here.

Here's the thing that always springs to my mind when I hear the name Victoria Wood: The Ballad of Barry and Freda.

She updated the song a few times, over the years. My favourite was the original from the 80s, but damned if I can find a copy on da toob. Closest to the original I can get is the 90's version, which is pretty close.
