Actor and comedian Daniel Rigby chooses the creator of Acorn Antiques, As Seen on TV and Dinnerladies, Victoria Wood.
Victoria grew up in a bungalow high up on the moors in Lancashire. The rooms were partitioned off with plywood, and she loved to play the piano on her own.
She became the biggest comedy star in the UK, writing, directing, acting, and winning BAFTAS for being funny, and being serious too.
Nominating the star of Wood and Walters, Dinnerladies and Housewife, 49 is Daniel Rigby.
Daniel won a BAFTA playing Eric Morecambe in 2011, with Victoria Wood as his mum. She also became his landlady.
Joining the often joyful discussion is Jasper Rees - author of the authorised biography of Victoria Wood.
