Victoria Wood - Loose Chippings

Victoria Wood biographer Jasper Rees introduces never-before-broadcast songs and stand-up linked by Victoria鈥檚 personal audio diaries, recorded during the making of dinnerladies.

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鈥檚 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鈥檚 company Good Fun
