Victoria Wood

I watched a bit about her tonight.  She is one of the greatest comediennes this country has produced.

High Guise - her songs were brilliant.  She really was a master at her art.  Michael Ball once said (of the let's do it song) that Victoria Wood had to keep sitting up and down, whilst playing the piano, to get enough oxygen into her lungs to keep that song going.  She was a fabulous lady.

Been showing her ‘great railway journeys’ * travelogue show from 1996 on tv recently

She went through the town I grew up in and I was scanning the crowd scenes for anyone i know

Pure nostalgia

* this tv series launched the travelogue careers of  Michael palin and Michael portillo
