Victoria Wood fans were delighted on Saturday night as the late comedy legend returned to TV screens on BBC 2 with a repeat of her much-loved Christmas special Victoria Wood with All the Trimmings. The sketch show features an array of famous faces, but fans were quick to comment how many of them are no longer with us.

Gareth Richards died in a car crash in April of this year. Now he has been honoured at the Edinburgh Comedy Fringe Festival in Scotland, UK, becoming the first ever recipient of the Victoria Wood award.

From her writing and acting talents in shows that struck gold with viewers such as Dinnerladies, to her warm and witty sketches in Victoria Wood As Seen on TV – the comedy star was not only a household name, but a national treasure for a number of decades.

Victoria Wood will receive a very special Christmas present this year in the form of a brand new two-part programme featuring some of the Bury comic's best loved sketches. Victoria Wood: The Secret List is a compilation show featuring more than 20 of the Prestwich-born comedian's personal favourite sketches, which were found in one of her notebooks following her death in 2016.

Victoria Wood is without doubt one of the most loved and most popular people to come out of Bury and the Prestwich-born comedian will forever be immortalised with a statue in the centre of Bury.

Victoria Wood's will has caused shock after it was revealed her ex-husband would receive nothing.
