Happy Since I Met You is a television play written by Victoria Wood, and broadcast on ITV on 9 August 1981.[1]
It stars Julie Walters and Duncan Preston and was directed by Baz Taylor as part of ITV's Screenplay series.[2] In Happy Since I Met You, Duncan Preston, who would later become one of her regular co-stars, worked with Victoria Wood for the first time.[1] It was the last full-length drama by Wood to be televised for some years, the next being Pat and Margaret (1994).[3] The film was notable for early TV appearances in minor roles by rising stars Maggie Steed, Tracey Ullman and George Costigan.[4] Although Wood does not appear in the film, she sings several of her compositions including the opening song and other songs performed over the on-screen action.
