Victoria Wood - Ultimate Christmas Collection (DVD)

Features the DVD's Midlife Christmas, All The Trimmings and Victoria Wood Sold Out Live. This is the time of year when friends and family gather round the television to exchange the traditional greeting -"Don't bother, there's nothing on". Well this Christmas join Victoria Wood for her 'Mid Life Christmas' featuring highlights from the Mid Life Olympics 2009, with the most unlikely sporting events and a dance number that brings together the killer combo of midriff bulge. Victoria then dons a bonnet and corset, for the popular costume drama Lark Pies to Cranchesterford, and revel in the further adventures of soap star Bo Beaumont played by long term collaborator Julie Walters. Victoria Wood With All The Trimmings" is a great big Christmas pudding of a show, stuffed full of stars in plum roles. Wonderfully funny sketches, brilliant pastiches, snowflakes sweaters, tons of celebrities, warm woollen mittens, believe me, it's Christmassy. If you like your comedy roasting on an open fire, this is the DVD for you. The all star cast includes
Alan Rickman, Julie Walters, Pete Postlethwaite, Celia Imrie, James Bolam, Delia Smith, Richard E Grant, Derek Jacobi, Bill Paterson, Geraldine McEwan, Billie Piper, Duncan Preston, Michael Parkinson, Robert Lindsay, Bob Monkhouse, Imelda Staunton, Angela Rippon, Alan Titchmarsh, Roger Cook and Betty Boothroyd. Join Victoria Wood Live at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton performing her show Sold Out. Welcome to 'Sold Out' my new exercise video. This is not a normal low-impact high energy aerobics programme, and yet it really works. Intrigued? Read On. Using up-to-the-minute(!) graphics and tinkly music, Victoria will lead you through a full hour of carefully sequentialised comedy routines, colour coded so you can personalise and streamline your laughing programme. DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT? No. Any comfortable seating with access to high calorie snack and drinks will do. So switch on the DVD and good luck!
