Victoria Wood: The Secret List

In honour of the much loved comedian Victoria Wood and her unparalleled contribution to comedy, Victoria Woods Secret List (2x60), a hand-picked countdown of Victorias personal favourite moments from her critically acclaimed television shows, will be broadcast on BBC Two later this year. Made by Phil McIntyre Television, Victoria Woods Secret List (w/t) is a two-part programme featuring more than 20 sketches from her vast array of work. The sketches - chosen by Victoria herself - were discovered on a list in one of her personal notebooks after her untimely death. Both programmes will also feature previously unseen insights into Victorias life, including clips from her own personal archive. They will also include contributions from a number of well-known faces who will discuss her broad catalogue of award-winning comedy. With a career spanning more than 40 years and crossing every possible genre, Victoria has a back catalogue thats bulging with sublime comedy moments, and Victoria Woods Secret List promises viewers a unique opportunity to see the very best bits of Victorias work that she loved the most. Jo Wallace, Acting Controller Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC, says: \Victoria Wood was without question one of the most brilliantly talented and fantastically funny comedians of our generation. It is an absolute honour to be able to share with viewers her personally selected favourite moments and lots more besides in this very special trip down memory lane.\ Lindsay Jex, Series Producer for Phil McIntyre TV says: \We are thrilled that the BBC have chosen to honour Victoria with this two-part special. Victoria had planned to make a whacking great compilation of her work but sadly, never got around to it. The list of sketches discovered after she died are all classic Victoria Wood comedy gold, and together with previously unseen footage, photos and scripts from her personal archive, these two unique shows will be a huge treat for Victorias fans.\ Broadcast details will be announced in due course. Victoria Woods Secret List was commissioned by Patrick Holland, Controller BBC Two and Jo Wallace, Acting Controller Entertainment Commissioning. The Series Producer for Phil McIntyre Television is Lindsay Jex and the Commissioning Editor for the BBC is Rachel Ashdown.
