Victoria, a woman after my own heart. I miss her dearly. She was an inspiration and hearing of this side of her - a side that is inline with my own moral values makes me weep. She was an amazing woman and I wish we hadn't lost her. I'll never ever forget you, Victoria. Bless you and may you be in peace.

Have you seen Victoria's interview with Dawn French? It's similarly relaxed and I'd highly recommend.

What a woman and it’s painfully familiar her self esteem was poor from things going on at home and she was an introvert but she tore through all that anyway and went on to do her own thing despite it all and the times as they were. It’s so admirable and so cruel she was taken early maybe some of those other things catching up in the end 😢

Adore Victoria Wood, Clive James surprises me, I remember him when he was big on TV later in life, I liked him, but I never appreciated how much he had spent in the UK decades earlier. Victoria is so relaxed in his company, I think she appreciates how learned he is about her career. Miss her terribly.

Victoria clearly at ease with Clive James, which was something of an achievement in itself. As her authorised biography showed, she was a complex woman who could be surly and difficult to work with at times. She had difficulties with other interviewers of that era such as Terry Wogan and Melvyn Bragg.

Brilliant writer - creator - actor. The focus on society and social class, through the lens of 'ordinary people' in these hands is a master class. The comments too about Amy Winehouse are poignant. 4 years before her death. A different kind of sadness when someone that uniquely talented contributes to their own self destruction. Clive, as always, so skilled in providing an interview environment where his guests feel comfortable to 'be themselves'.Both gone too soon.

@@ppotter have you read the authorised biography, "let's do it" ? She was a complex personality. Very damaged from the neglect she suffered in her childhood, and capable of being very surly and quite unpleasant at times. She was quite unpleasant about her fans at times. One thing which struck me is how people like Julie Walters had never been to her house in years. Julie said it had become just a working relationship, and she also said she was very wary of telling Victoria anything personal as she'd have no qualms about using it in a sketch. Dawn French also recounted how difficult she could be, and told a story of how she lost her rag with her once when Victoria came to stay and was difficult and sulky.

@@th8257 Victoria acknowledged her unsociable and snippy side numerous times in interviews. I find it weird that people expect a one-dimensional persona from celebrities, especially since many are constantly approached by fans/media nonstop. I'm not at all famous, but do get irritated when delayed in a supermarket by a talkative acquaintance. Can't imagine having cameras shoved in my face or endless requests for selfies and autographs. Victoria definitely knew where her lines were drawn, and should be admired for being reality-based in her private life.

It is great but Clive James Is rather solipsistic. “I don’t drive a car”. Victoria picks him up by saying “You fly” and James more or less says “so does Bob Dole!” Two great entertainers with James having an off day.
