Summary

Dinnerladies is a classic BBC sitcom based around the lives of the staff of the canteen at Manchester factory HWD Components. Written by and starring Victoria Wood a Brenda, these eight classic TV episodes are brilliantly funny, where the jokes fly as thick and as fast as granary torpedoes. 

Along with the day to day feeding the faces of folk, the canteen staff Bren, Twink, Jean (and all the others!) have to contend with the arrival of a Royal on site, a Japanese-themed party complete with costumes, and the controversial delivery of new uniforms. And will Tony finally succumb to Brenda's advances? 

With a wonderful cast including Victoria Wood, Celia Imrie and Thelma Barlow also star in this trayful of comedy from the BBC hotplate.

An excellent sitcom, by and excellent writer

Dinnerladies is my absolutely favourite sitcom, so to be able to listen to in the car is a dream come true. Written by and co-starring the wonderful Victoria Wood, in faces the day-to-day functioning of a factory canteen. I have to say my description doesn’t do it justice - just listen and you will see.

I'm sorry there's no more Dinner Ladies

I love listen to this program that brings back lots of memories I just wish that we had the whole series to download onto our phones. I love all that Victoria Woods has done in her career it's just a shame she's no longer with us

Victoria at her best

An outstanding series which was Victoria at her best (who can forget the classic line 'wheres my clint')

The only downside is that it's not the complete series, just some of the best episodes.

This is a great way to listen to one of the best sitcoms.
