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.
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.
He was a brilliant TV critic, too, 'The Crystal Bucket' is a great collection of his columns. Someone described his reviews as 'humane', and that's what he shared with the great Victoria Wood
Delightful. Both are greatly missed, and if only Victoria had lived those extra years to bring her up to Clive's age. Still, we should cherish what they gave us when they were here.
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.
Miss both of these geniuses. Somewhere out there is another documentary about Victoria, featuring her talking in more depth about Joyce Grenfell & her childhood & its a fascinating watch.
Indeed. Sad that Clive James wasn't said to be 'away' in today's Guardian (someone else has filled in for a couple of weeks). Hope this isn't the end...
I didn't realise she was know in the US, in the U.K. to many of us she's a goddess, I count myself lucky as I'm amongst those who saw her live when I was younger. I still love and miss her so much.
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.
I'd sing O Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz. Then tuned into this lovely lass. O Lord won't you let me laugh with V. W. that prayer is still being answered! Thanksgiving.
Here is a slightly spooky coincidence:~ The great music hall artist Marie Lloyd (1870~1922),was actually born Matilda Alice VICTORIA WOOD! Anyone believe in re~incarnation?
@@eccremocarpusscaber5159 Yes, Clive didn't ask stilted questions - which would have made Victoria clam up - he engaged her in intelligent conversation. You could see how much Victoria appreciated this . . .
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.

Admirable progressive politics by Victoria Wood, showing up the conservative, privileged white middle-aged attitudes of James. Bravo Victoria, much missed.
Victoria made me even prouder to be Welsh here as she said there were only Scottish and English slave owners from the British Isles. Wales was obviously more moral.
A lovely informal chat between two really clever people, sadly no longer with us, but both left us with great memories.
What a great interview! I could sit and listen to her all day…so loved and missed Victoria ❤️

Making them laugh in heaven ❤

The world is a poorer place without her
Two great LEGENDS
They’re both gone now and both were so talented and so funny. RIP Clive and Victoria, the world will miss you.
I could just sit there and listen to Vic all day, I adore the sound of her voice and she is so relaxed here , just beautiful
I scrolled down to insert a comment and found yours is exactly right for me too.
This was recorded in 2007. I'm listening in 2022 and it's still relevant.
Wonderful interview. So intelligent, so thoughtful, so aware. She had so much more to give :(
I've never seen an interviewer make her feel so chilled. It's so great to hear her laugh so naturally with abandon.
Have you seen Victoria's interview with Dawn French? It's similarly relaxed and I'd highly recommend.

he has intvd her alot over the yrs, there on youtube if u check them out?
Now him too 😢

I adore this woman! Greatly missed, a true legend

Beautiful hugely talented person. So missed. Loved her laugh.
She was just lovely, so beautiful
She absolutely was. What a tragedy to have lost her.
Indeed. The world has a chronic shortage of people like her.
This is so lovely to see a straight Victoria. No comedy. Just who she was with a bucket load of honesty.
Thank you for posting. Really lovely.
Two of my favorite real people on tv. Both gone . So smart , educated and can sum up people like Amy Winehouse and show respect .
So absolutely right .
The Pride of Prestwich. Gone too soon. RIP Victoria Wood, Queen of Comedy.

Such a delight. Victoria was obviously relaxed and gave a most interesting interview.
Poor people in Bolton had to be studied...of mass observation. Victoria even nailed that wittily!
Two People with so much , gave everything to us in their life , i thank them for their life.
Beautiful interview, with qualities we took for granted… speak your mind without fear of offence, creates a much more interesting conversation.❤
I love her with all my heart and soul!

2 of my favourite people!

ppotter do you have Vic’s comic relief bake off by an chance please
Humility poignant intelligence Victoria Wood was a a true master of comedy
Victoria Wood, "your stuff works" with Americans! I am one, and I utterly adore you.
RIP - you are sorely missed. Xxx ❤😢❤
In this instance, Victoria underestimated her universal ability to communicate. She is a legend in the US as well as the UK.
I didn't realise she was know in the US, in the U.K. to many of us she's a goddess, I count myself lucky as I'm amongst those who saw her live when I was younger. I still love and miss her so much.
Sad they've both gone, great to see this.
Both gone now both great losses R.I.P Victoria wood R.I.P Clive james you are both missed
Miss them both. Great interview
Both much missed. 🙏🏼😢

There were giants then. Marvellous. Two educated people from the old centre-left, but with profoundly (small 'c') conservative instincts.
R.I.P YOU HILARIOUS GENIUS.😢😭😭😭
Loved both Clive and Victoria, ♥️♥️

I love Victoria Wood 🎉
Two greats
Miss her so much ☹️
Both sadly gone to another realm!

What a gift
I don't know what "abzurd" is, but thanks for this.
My, he talked a lot.
foreign particle no, he asked brilliant questions by making her feel at ease and knowing what he was talking about.

Such a loss to the world of entertainment.
She comes across as a bit shy and not very confident, v likeable traits.
Agreed.

Dinner ladies could/should have replaced Corry ...

Why do people have to die??
I love them both but I wish Clive would stop touching his head
Danny62 he’s very aware of his baldness. And therefore touches where he is most aware of seeing when he watches back. Subconsciously, of course.
Victoria made me even prouder to be Welsh here as she said there were only Scottish and English slave owners from the British Isles. Wales was obviously more moral.
?? They were all British. Welsh people were no different.
Don't forget Wales was very much part of the English world during the days of slavery. There were obviously some Welsh slavers.
He couldn’t stop talking over her
very enjoyable but the British Empire was not a force for good... it caused so many problems that have not gone away
Poor Victoria think's she remembers Crossroads well; she doesn't!
What a weird interview.
Why do you think it's weird?
