Victoria Wood - RIP

With all the hullabaloo around Prince dying, it was a couple of days before I heard that Victoria Wood had died.  I liked Victoria Wood's humour.  It seemed harmless and innocent at first glance but underneath there was a fierce intelligence.  She could say more with a look than many comedians do with an entire set.  It caught you off guard too.  One minute you were laughing along, then you would realise something serious has just crept in and the tone would change to bittersweet.  Before long the mood would change again and she would deliver a line that was loud out loud with a snort thrown in for good luck!
