Three TV plays written by and starring comedienne Victoria Wood. The plays, first broadcast between 1979 and 1981, include her debut offering, 'Talent', in which Julie (Julie Walters) and Maureen (Wood) attempt to escape their dreary domestic lives by signing up for a talent show at a local club. 'Nearly a Happy Ending' finds Maureen having attended the local slimmers' club, but is she any happier? Finally, in 'Happy Since I Met You', Frances (Walters) is happy and single until she meets Jim (Duncan Preston) and soon realises her life is about to change.
