Link: BBC Radio 4 - Archive on 4, Victoria Wood - Loose Chippings

 

During the making of her much-loved sitcom dinnerladies, Victoria Wood was also recording her own personal audio diary, talking not just about the show she was writing and starring in but with thoughts and reminiscences across her whole career.

 

Now her biographer, writer and journalist Jasper Rees, has been granted unique access not only to these tapes but also to Victoria’s own private archive, including much never-before-broadcast stand-up and songs, and treasures such as the previously-thought lost song that launched her career on ITVs New Faces and a private recording of her first ever concert as a student in Birmingham University that lay hidden for 50 years.

 

The show is a Pozzitive production, who also made dinnerladies as a co-production with Victoria’s company Good Fun

 

On air: BBC Radio 4, Saturday the 14^th of December at 8:00 pm.
