i can't decide between these two who is funnier so who do you think?
i'm trying to get this message board going, so which is your favourite character?I don't really have 1 favourite character, but the one's i like the most are twinkle and anita. :D :D :D
Here's the rules answer the question before and then pose the next one. Simple. First question: What was the name of the member of the royal family in episode 2 of season 1 "Royals" and who had a connection with him ?
All of the actors and actresses that were priviledge to be part of this played such perfect roles. It all gelled together perfectly and the comedy tied in with the drama of the canteen could not have been done any better than it already was. Even though there were only 2 series there are so many moments that can stick in the memories of the fans of this show. We share many a laugh at the mere rememberance of this show. There aren't any shows as perfect as this around anymore. you cant beat the good old british comedies at all.
With an all star cast Dinnerladies is very funny. A programme I can watch over and over again with out getting bored with it. The cast play the characters brilliantly making you feel a personal friend to each and every one of the ladies. With Dolly and Jean sniping at each other and the nice but dim Twinkle. You also start to feel for Tony played by Andrew Dunn who is the only man along with handy man Stan, Duncan Preston. Another welcoming appearence every so often is Bren, Victoria Woods mother Petula, who is played by the incredibly talented Julie Walters whose one liners are cracking.
I really loved Dinnerladies, it was one of the best things I ever watched. I only discovered it about a year or two ago, as a repeat on UKTV Gold, but soon after watching it I was dying to get the box set and watch more. It's so different to the current comedies, with grotesque humour and constant swearing. Dinnerladies was charming and fun to watch, and picked me up on days when I wasn't feeling too well.
As of today I have seen every single episode (which wasn't too hard, as there are only 16). One thing I do hope is that sooner or later, they hold a reunion episode or series, as I'm sure it would be much loved by many.
Dinnerladies is a fantastically funny show written by Victoria Wood. It follows the lives of the staff of a canteen in a factory.
The main characters include Bren (Victoria Wood), Dolly (Thelma Barlow), Jean (Anne Reid), Twinkle (Maxine Peake), Anita (Shobna Gulati), Tony (Andrew Dunn) and Stan (Duncan Preston).
The stories follow their everyday lives and include some unusual plots, such as the visit from the Royals, the film-crew for a documentry and the ever-eventful life of Bren's mother (played superbly by Julie Walters).
It is an absolutley fabulous British comedy that is very under-rated. I would recommend it too anyone! Fantastic!!
This show was one of my fav's from the very first episode the interaction between the cast was first rate from dolly through Phillipa and even on to twinkle the writing is excellent and the pace is just so spot on to keep you wanting to watch again and again!
It's one of the few shows that I can happily own the DVD and still watch the repeats when on TV
It would be so good if they did a special with the cast going to Bren and Tony's B&B in Scotland for an Xmas edition it would be so good to catch up with them
