Victoria Wood

Four years since her tragically early death, comedy legend Victoria Wood is celebrated in the new, definitive biography, Let's Do It.

Running to more than 500 pages, the exhaustive tome was compiled with the full authorisation and co-operation with Victoria's family, friends and colleagues for author Jasper Rees, the journalist who interviewed her more than anyone else.

Enjoying exclusive access to her private archives, Rees charts the Bury grammar school girl's childhood, rise to fame, and national stardom across the decades. Including in-depth interviews with family and colleagues, excerpts from her personal papers and much more, it is an enlightening, fascinating, and heart-breaking account of a comedy genius and national treasure lost far, far too soon.

Interviewees include Victoria's children, ex-husband, Julie Walters, Dawn French, Celia Imrie, Anne Reid and others, many of whom also recorded their contributions for the audiobook release.

Let's Do It was published by Trapeze on Thursday 15th October 2020, RRP £20, and is now available to order in hardback, eBook and audiobook formats.
