The nation mourned when muchloved actress, writer and comedian Victoria Wood passed away from cancer, aged 62, last April.

No one was more devastated than her friend and comedy partner Julie Walters, who described herself as ‘heartsore’ at the loss. This week, in Our Friend Victoria, a special BBC1 tribute series, Walters joins many of Wood’s colleagues and closest pals to share their memories, celebrate her life, and revisit some of her finest moments.
