Appearance

Maxine Peake presents this latest slice of Our Friend Victoria, which explores Victoria’s take on appearance.Victoria was no stranger to waistline woes but, rather than hold her back, she channelled her own worries into her comedy by regularly taking a swipe at society’s views on how we look, what we should wear, what we should eat and what we should weigh. She spoke up for us all, whatever size or shape.In this episode, Maxine guides us through a selection of classic comedy that sums up Vic’s views on the diet and health industry. There are standout clips from the dinnerladies bemoaning the size of their buttocks, an unforgettable aerobics class called Fattitude, Marjorie and Joan’s top tips for a perfect tan, and a bonkers but sublime sketch called The Shoe Shop.Julie Walters and Celia Imrie are on hand to ponder Acorn Antiques’ transformation into a health spa, while Duncan Preston reveals the sheer pain he endured when faced with a wrinkly gusset.
