A bit of Victoria Wood trivia for those who may not know: Acorn Antiques was based on a number of very bad TV and radio shows that Victoria Wood had listened to / watched when younger. "Crossroads" being the most famous one, but also a radio soap called 'Waggoner's Walk' (Victoria Wood based a lot of the dialogue on that - she said it was written and performed like "all of the lines were in capital letters"). There was also another inspiration from a 1970s TV show called 'The Cedar Tree' in which one the main characters would regularly forget her lines and instead of editing it out, the other cast members would have to try and pretend it didn't happen and improvise their way out of it. The 'Making of' at the end of this video was based not only on the infamous sacking of Noele Gordon from Crossroads, but also on a documentary in the 80s showing the behind the scenes goings on of EastEnders. Victoria Wood based Marion Clune on Julia Smith, who was then the producer of Eastenders. Apparently she didn't like the comparison, but the then cast of EastEnders thought it was hilarious.

I remember The Cedar Tree - if only for the picture of a cedar tree in the title screen and recognising it as one of the trees in a nearby park. It was the sort of midday staple drama that sat between the lunchtime news, racing from Haydock and children's programmes starting at 1500. The other one was Crown Court. All very boring if you were off sick from school. Enough to drive you back to the following day.

I remember saying to my mum and my family. On Christmas Day 2014. While my mum was helping with setting the table for Christmas. Here comes in mrs. Overall. As our mum was struggling to walk. Our mum was was walking just like Mrs. Overall. We all laughed including our dear mum. Sadly none of us knew our mum was suffering from cancer, and was in a lot of pain. Sadly our mum only a few weeks later. Even though it hit us. That is a Christmas I will never forget. As for I made our mum laugh with her loving family during our mum's very last Christmas day.
