Victoria Wood As Seen On TV was a British comedy sketch series starring comedian Victoria Wood, with Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston, Susie Blake and Patricia Routledge. The show was televised on BBC Two between 1985 and 1987 and included sketches that became famous in the United Kingdom; these included one-offs like Two Soups (in which Walters, as an elderly waitress, takes too long to deliver two bowls of soup) and regular features like Acorn Antiques (a parody of low-budget soap opera), as well as musical performances by Wood including her most well-known number, The Ballad of Barry and Freda ("Let's Do It").
