Victoria Wood's Midlife Christmas
This is the time of year when friends and family gather round the television to exchange the traditional greeting -“Don’t bother, there’s nothing on”. Well this Christmas join Victoria Wood for her ‘Mid Life Christmas’ featuring highlights from the Mid Life Olympics 2009, with the most unlikely sporting events and a dance number that brings together the killer combo of midriff bulge. Victoria then dons a bonnet and corset, for the popular costume drama Lark Pies to Cranchesterford, and revel in the further adventures of soap star Bo Beaumont played by long term collaborator Julie Walters. DVD extras include the searing in-depth documentary (!) ‘What larks!’

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The special constructs its humor around Victoria Wood's signature, sharp yet affectionate satire of British Christmas TV tropes. It relies on the sketch format to explore the absurdities of midlife and the pomposity of period dramas.
What lingers after viewing is the warmth of the camaraderie and the clever, character-driven jokes that never feel mean-spirited. A cozy treat for fans of witty, observational comedy. — MovieFinder Editorial
