Victoria Wood was a series of six one-off situation comedies written by and starring Victoria Wood in 1989, who took a break from sketches, two years after her very successful and award-winning series "Victoria Wood As Seen On TV". Wood appeared as "Victoria" ("Miss Wood" in episode one), a fictionalised version of herself, in all six episodes – in "The Library" it was said that she "worked in TV" and in "Over To Pam" characters appeared to recognise her celebrity (although two confused her with Dawn French) and in the final episode, "Staying In", she was taken to a party to perform as a comedian and was expected to go through her stand-up 'routine'. Her character often broke the 'fourth wall' of TV and spoke directly to the camera, but not in every episode.
