大象传媒

With rare 大象传媒 radio clips of the much-loved entertainer, Maxine Peake remembers her friend and Dinnerladies TV co-star, Victoria Wood.

Victoria Wood (1953-2016) was a comedian, writer, actor and singer who lit up our TV screens and packed theatres across the country. She was also a regular on 大象传媒 Radio. Over five decades on the wireless, she featured in a range of programmes that opened a window on her work and her life.

After trawling the archives, actress Maxine Peake showcases some rarely-heard gems that tell Victoria Wood's story, in her own words and music - the shy schoolgirl who became a comedy superstar.

Produced by James Alexander for 大象传媒 General News Service.

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Local Radio and 大象传媒 Radio 4 Extra in December 2016.
