Overview
Dinnerladies is a British television sitcom created, written, and co-produced by Victoria Wood that broadcast on BBC One from 1998 to 2000. The comedy program chronicles the antics and daily lives of a group of workers in a factory canteen located in the north of England. Across two series totaling sixteen episodes, a motley crew of characters works together in the canteen. Bren attempts to maintain a semblance of order amidst the workplace chaos while dealing with the canteen supervisor, the slightly sex-obsessed cancer sufferer Tony. Other colleagues include Dolly and Jean, who are bickering menopausal older women that remain best friends beneath it all, along with Anita and the terminally uninterested Twinkle, who is more concerned with having a good time than anything else.
