Screenplay was a comedy series that featured three television plays created by Victoria Wood. Originally transmitted between 1979 and 1981, the series showcased her distinctive Northern humour and sharp dialogue. The plays included the highly acclaimed Talent, which helped bring Victoria Wood to wider attention and marked the start of her successful television career.
