Wood appeared as a fictionalised version of herself in all six episodes; she was generally identified only as "Victoria", but in the first episode was also addressed as "Miss Wood". Her real-life career was occasionally a plot point: in "The Library", it was said that she "worked in TV", and in ''Over To Pam'' characters recognised her as a comedian, though two confused her with Dawn French. Most notably, in the final episode, ''Staying In'', she was taken to a party to perform as a stand-up comedian. Her character sometimes broke the fourth wall of TV and spoke directly to the camera, but not in every episode. Production Bored with the sketch format and with a yearning to recapture her previou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
