"Dame"Judi Dench but no "Dame" Victoria Wood...Why ??

Seems Victoria Wood has prematurely passed away.....My Wife has more than a passing resemblance to one of the actors in her shows (The tall looking dumb big guy).....So my interest in her work varied as to whether the old cow was annoying me or not...

Not a fan of the Honors system in this Country...But it does amuse me that a Top actress is made a Dame for services to the industry and yet a...

Top TV comedy actress..Top stand up comedian....Top script writer....and top all round performer doesn't get the same honor...

Maybe someone could explain it to me..

I notice David Jason is called Sir...So it can't be a comedy thing..

David Jason was the main star of arguably our most successful ever sitcom, and has repeated his success in other shows.

I never found Wood funny, tbh. I know that doesn't answer your question, truss!
