This week marks 6 years since we lost Victoria Wood to her private (not secret) illness. There aren’t many deaths which have hit me quite as hard; Rik Mayall and Caroline Aherne are certainly up there. We don’t know these people in real life but, through their work, we feel as though they are part of our lives. They have made us laugh, possibly cry, seen us through difficult times, enriched our lives; Victoria in particular made many of us feel “seen” as the youths say. She didn’t just observe behaviour, she lived it, breathed it, absorbed it and turned it into the true masterpieces we still watch today.
