A very sad day. Her comedy was very good and unique. Very clever writer and a great comic.

Totally agree Ace. Only 62, such a shame. A really unique talent.
RIP Victoria.

Her legacy is immense. Her Christmas 2009 Special is a classic, especially the segments with Julie Waters as the has-been who craved for one last hurrah is pure genius. Also featured the Mid-life Christmases as well. The stuff of legends!

Wood & Walters in the 80s was the first time I saw her, then more so in the 90s.
Wow, fair play she was very very funny and a real talent. I had no idea she had the big C - very sad day. The world is slowly running dry of talent.

Aye, a complete shock. A very talented lady who really put female comics on the map. Everything she touched turned to gold no matter what she turned her hand at and she came across as very down to earth also, not often the two go hand in hand
My favourite role of hers was playing Eric Morecambes mum in a BBC film about the duo a few years ago.
Really sad news. RIP

Sad news, what was really shocking was how young she was. Tragic really. RIP

Agree with Ace, a unique talent for sure. Particularly liked Acorn Antiques, absolutely spot on parody of regional TV from the 70s, although it did ruin watching "Gangsters" for me.

She's the only female comedian I like.
Never could get enough of this.
Hit me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly haha.
RIP and thanks for the laughs.
