Best of British

Victoria Wood

S1 • E2    Nov 11, 1998    39m
A look back at the career of the award-winning comedian Victoria Wood, from a solitary childhood in 1960s Lancashire to becoming the first stand-up to sell out the Royal Albert Hall. In this programme from 1998, normally a deeply private person, Victoria Wood talks at length about her life as a performer. Other contributions come from collaborators Julie Walters and Celia Imrie, while admirers such as Clive James, Dame Thora Hird and Caroline Aherne discuss what they love most about her style of comedy.
