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 ITV's New Faces, and a private recording of her first ever concert as a student in Birmingham University that lay hidden for 50 years.
