Canteen's fun recipe; REVIEW.Byline: PAUL MARSTON TEN years after its TV debut, Victoria Wood's clever sitcom about life in the factory canteen kitchen of a fictional Manchester firm is serving up generous helpings of humour on the theatre stage. The switch works well and this adaptation is true to the original version, helped by Andrew Dunn Andrew Dunn (b. 10 November 1957 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, UK) an English-born actor. Career He has appeared in numerous television series including dinnerladies, The Bill, Holby City, Heartbeat, and Coronation Street in 2003. , Shobna Gulati and Sue Devaney from the BBC BBC in full British Broadcasting Corp. Publicly financed broadcasting system in Britain. A private company at its founding in 1922, it was replaced by a public corporation under royal charter in 1927. series being back in roles filled so well on telly. Oozing with sexual innuendo innuendo n. from Latin innuere, "to nod toward." In law it means "an indirect hint." "Innuendo" is used in lawsuits for defamation (libel or slander), usually to show that the party suing was the person about whom the nasty statements were made or why the comments , but never uncomfortably so, the action drew regular bursts of laughter and applause as the excellent cast revelled in amusing situations built into the tale. Dunn is so comfortable as canteen manager Tony Martin, besotted with women but apparently out of luck until seemingly hitting it off with deputy, Brenda Furlong, beautifully played by Victoria Wood lookalike Laura Sheppard. Shobna Gulati, whose appearance in Wolverhampton will be the last on the tour before she returns to Coronation Street, is a joy as the rather dim and naive, though very loyal, Anita while Barrie Palmer is a convincing Stan Meadowcroft, the moody handyman. Directed by David Graham, Dinnerladies continue delivering their recipe of fun until Saturday night. VERDICT: HHHHI PAUL MARSTON |
