Victoria Wood's All Day Breakfast

Wood's return to sketches came as a 50-minute BBC One special on Christmas Day 1992, and it is mostly a send-up of British daytime television. She and Duncan Preston link the sketches as Sally and Martin, a married presenting couple modeled on the hosts of This Morning, a pair she found unintentionally funny. If you liked Margery and Joan, this is that joke given a whole morning's schedule. Julie Walters, Celia Imrie and Susie Blake are back, and Alan Rickman turns up as himself. It is a single evening's watch, which makes it an easy bridge between the 1980s shows and dinnerladies.
