Victoria Wood's All Day Breakfast
Encyclopedia
A one-off, fifty minute comedy sketch show special, written by and starring comedian Victoria Wood
. Broadcast on Christmas day 1992.
The show was linked by Duncan Preston and Wood as husband and wife daytime TV presenters 'Martin Cumbernauld' and 'Sally Crossthwaite'. Blatant parodies of the real husband and wife presenting team Richard Madeley
and Judy Finnegan.
Wood said in a radio interview around the time that she just found the idea of a married couple presenting a television show funny. She also claimed that the targets of the parody "loved it".
This was Wood's first sketch show since the phenomenally successful Victoria Wood As Seen On TV
ended in 1987, and included the new 'mini-soap' "The Mall", which featured the return of Mrs. Overall and the establishment of her own branch of Acorn Antiques
.
The UK distributor 2 Entertain
has recently confirmed that a DVD release of this show, and that of the 1994 80-minute special "Victoria Wood: Live in Your Own Home", are being considered for 2010.
