* This is the full uncompressed vob rip of the disc. In order to burn it onto a 4.7gig blank dvd, you will need to download the program Dvdshrink which can compress a dvd to fit onto a blank, or extract single video files to burn to disc. Other programs may also be able to do the same job, but I have only used DvdShrink in the past.


Dinnerladies was a British sitcom written, co-produced by and starring Victoria Wood. It ran on BBC One for 16 episodes from 1998 to 2000.

The show is set entirely in the canteen of HWD Components, a fictional factory in Manchester, featuring the caterers and regular customers as the main characters. The inner lives and social interactions of the mostly female, mostly middle-aged characters are vividly and amusingly depicted.

As with much of Victoria Wood's work, there is also a counterpoint of sadder themes, including deaths in the families of two of the main characters, a painful divorce, one of the characters living with cancer, one character becoming a single parent, and a long-running on-off relationship involving a great deal of heartache for the pair involved.

Involving only one set throughout its run (with the exception of a quiz show set and hospital set - both seen only on a television screen in the last two episodes), Dinnerladies was entirely filmed at BBC Television Centre in front of a live studio audience. Other locations such as characters' homes and other parts of the factory are only referred to in conversation. The jokes are generally delivered at a fast pace with dialogue usually only pausing to allow the audience's laughter to settle.
