Victoria Wood has died at the age of 62 after battling cancer.
Here are some of the comedian’s most popular one-liners:
I thought Coq au Vin was love in a lorry.
My children won’t even eat chips because some know-all bastard at school told them a potato was a vegetable.

In my day we didn’t have sex education, we just picked up what we could off the television.
I once went to one of those parties where everyone throws their car keys into the middle of the room. I don’t know who got my moped but I’ve been driving that Peugeot for years.
My boyfriend had a sex manual but he was dyslexic. I was lying there and he was looking for my vinegar.
Victoria Wood with Paul Hollywood (BBC/PA)
Jogging is for people who aren’t intelligent enough to watch television.
Life’s not fair, is it? Some of us drink champagne in the fast lane, and some of us eat our sandwiches by the loose chippings on the A597.
Victoria Wood (David Parry/PA)
Sexual harassment at work – is it a problem for the self-employed?
People think I hate sex. I don’t. I just don’t like things that stop you seeing the television properly.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
