- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is dinnerladies.
dinnerladies is a 1990s British television sitcom written by and also featuring Victoria Wood. The characters are a group of caterers at a non-descript factory location in Manchester. The mostly female, mostly middle-aged tabard-wearing characters' inner lives and social interactions are vividly and amusingly depicted.
As with much of Victoria Wood's work, there is also a counterpoint of sadder themes, including a personal tragedy involving one of the characters.
There were two series of the show. The first series ran in 1998 from 12th November to 17th December and the second series from 25th November 1999 until 27th January 2000. Both series were shown on BBC1. Reruns air occasionally on UKTV Gold.
