A new documentary-film about the life of Manchester-born comedian and actress, Victoria Wood, has released in cinemas.

This is a fittingly brilliant tribute by @TimAdamsWrites to Rachel Cooke, a mighty journalist and a lovely friend who will be missed more than words can remotely convey. No exaggeration. The final sentence says everything.
