Wood's career was one of the most illustrious and wide-ranging in British comedy, and one of the greatest sadnesses following her death in 2016 was that she left the world without leaving her own full account of her life, having never written an autobiography. 'I will do it one day,' she told journalist and author Jasper Rees when he first met her in 2001. Tragically for us that autobiography never came to pass, but now with complete and exclusive access to Victoria's extensive archive of personal and professional material, and with exclusive interviews with her family and closest friends, Jasper Rees, who interviewed Victoria Wood more than anyone else, finally tells her rich story in full.
