The comedian Victoria Wood has died of cancer - she was 62. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
She came to fame in the 1980s with her BBC series | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
in which she created some memorable comic characters | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
and for which she won the first of several awards. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |

Hello. I'm looking for my friend. Please welcome Victoria Wood! It was | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
42 years ago that a young Victoria Wood won a talent show, New Faces. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
It was the beginning of an extraordinary career as a comedian, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
singer, writer, actor. She could do it all. She was a brilliant, | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
brilliant woman. Her basic greatest talent was her writing, and, for me, | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
she is nearly up there, well, she is up there with Alan Bennett is a sort | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
of wonderful writer about England and the English and the working | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
classes and how funny we all are. I don't know where Mr Hannigan is... | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
She could write comedy that was funny and moving. When you want to | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
stop, it keeps you going. # I'll be back at Social Security... | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
Her songs first brought her to the public's attention. She had this | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
huge creative light inside her that flipped on, and she just shone. And | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
she continues to shine. We will always remember her. What changed | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
everything was a sketch in 1978 with the actress Julie Walters. I wrote | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
this sentence and it was constructed in such a way that it was funny, | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
whereas everything I had written before was nearly funny, and there | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
is nothing worse than that. This was properly funny. Ready to order, sir? | :04:32. | :04:43. | |
Madam? Jane? What is the soup of the day? I'll go and find out. There was | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
a special comic chemistry. The sketch show turned a rather shy | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
performer who had been turned down by Manchester Polytechnic into a | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
star. The stand-up, the sitcom Dinnerladies, a | :05:02. | :05:02. | |
star. The stand-up, the sitcom from the silly and absurd to be | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
moving. The Bafta goes to Victoria Wood. She was just 62 years old. | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
Victoria, 40 years of making us laugh. | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
# Beat me on the bottom with a woman's weekly | :05:24. | :05:23. | |
# Let's do it tonight. Victoria Wood, who has | :05:24. | :05:33. | |
died at the age of 62. It's the eve of the Queen's 90th | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
birthday and the celebrations have already begun, marking another | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
milestone in her record-breaking Sophie is at Windsor Castle | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
for us this evening. This is where the Queen will be | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
tomorrow on her 90th birthday. But crowds have already been | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
gathering to catch a glimpse of Britain's oldest and longest | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
serving monarch as she attended And the Queen's grandson | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Prince William has paid tribute to her in an interview with the BBC, | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
saying she has been a "guiding example" of what a good | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
monarch should be. Prince William also defended his own | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
commitment to his Royal duties. More on that in a moment, | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
but first this report from our royal Birthday celebrations over two days | :06:12. | :06:28. | |

shots were fired at the 1981 Trooping the Colour ceremony at the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Queen passed on horseback. She is a marvellous writer, made of stronger | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
stuff. Support for the Queen is widespread in Windsor and elsewhere, | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
but not universal. Those silly special-purpose signal elected head | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
of state argued that a long life doesn't give somebody a right to a | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
long range of such views were not in evidence in the House of Commons | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
today. She has served our nation with such dignity for 64 years on | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
the throne. I think it is what we will have the opportunity in the | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
house tomorrow to pay tribute to what she has done, and I know that | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
the whole country and the whole house will want to join me in saying | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
long may she reign over us. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Thank you very | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
much. I am also looking forward to wishing her a happy birthday | :09:16. | :09:26. | |
tomorrow. Back in Windsor, the Queen at work, almost 90, the longest | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
reigning monarch in British history has been head of state for 64 years. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Peter Grant, BBC News, Windsor. Tomorrow night, the Royal Family | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
will all be here at Windsor Castle for a private dinner hosted | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
by Prince Charles to celebrate Among them of course will be Prince | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
William. He has been paying tribute | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
to his grandmother in And he also shrugged off criticism | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
that's been levelled at him of his own commitment | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
to Royal duties. He told our royal correspondent | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
Nicholas Witchell that, when the Queen was ready to hand | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
down more responsibilities, he would You've had a chance over | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
more than 30 years now to observe our current | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
monarch, the Queen. From the particular perspective that | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
you have as a future King, what has I think the Queen's duty | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
and her service, her tolerance, her commitment to others, | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
I think that's all been It's been a real sort of guiding | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
example of just what a good monarch can be, and it's been incredibly | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
insightful for me growing up, watching her leadership | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
in that role. You've referred already to her sense | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
of duty, to the conspicuous devotion to duty that she's | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
displayed over the decades. To what extent would you say that | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
you share that degree I think Royal duty is | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
extremely important. It's part of the fabric | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
of what the Royal Family and any future monarch has, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
and it's something I take duty very seriously | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
and I take my responsibilities It's about finding your own | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
way at the right time. If you're not careful, | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
duty can sort of weigh you down I think you've got to develop | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
into the duty role. It's because there is an impression | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
in some quarters that you are in some way | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
a slightly reluctant Royal. You will have seen, or I'm sure | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
people will have told you about some of the stories, | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
some of the headlines in recent weeks and months - | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
work-shy William, I think some There has also been criticism | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
of the Duchess of a similar vein. Do you regard that criticism, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
that impression as being a fair one? To be honest, I'm going to get | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
plenty of criticism over my lifetime and it's something that | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
I don't completely ignore, but it's not something I take | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
completely to heart. I'm concentrating very much | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
on my role as a father. I'm a new father and I take my | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
duties and responsibilities to my family very seriously | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
and I want to bring my children up as good people, with the idea | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
of service and duty But, if I can't give my time | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
to my children as well, Plus serving the community | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
with the air ambulance... I find the ambulance role | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
very important to me. I'd like to explore a little, | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
what kind of King will William V be? We've become used to the present | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
Queen being scrupulously, pretty scrupulously | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
detached from all issues. Your father, on the other hand, | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
as Prince of Wales, of course, is very much involved in all sorts | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
of issues and has indicated that he would wish to convene | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
when he becomes King - make heartfelt interventions, | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
I think, is the phrase in use. What is your sense of what it is | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
acceptable for a constitutional How involved can a constitutional | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
monarch be in current issues? It's a very good question | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
and something that occupies a lot of my thinking space - | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
how on earth you would develop into something modern | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
in today's world. I am in a unique position, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
a very privileged position, to be able to see some of this now, | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
which is that I've got my grandmother, who takes a very, | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
if you like, more of a passive role in how she believes | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
her role should be. I've got my father who minds | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
an awful lot about many of the causes he's involved | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
in and really digs down into his charitable areas as much | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
as he can. But I think, in the Queen, | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
I have an extraordinary example of someone who's done an enormous | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
amount of good. She's probably the best | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
role model I could have. I sense that you are saying, | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
when the time comes, you will hope to be a rather more | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
modern monarch and bring something I think the Royal Family has | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
to modernise and develop as it goes along and it has to stay relevant, | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
and that's the challenge for me. How do I make the Royal Family | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
relevant in the next 20 years' time? It could be 40 years' time, | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
60 years' time, I don't know I certainly don't lie awake at night | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
waiting or hoping for it, because it sadly means | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
that my family have moved on, But you must be confident | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
that you can do that, that you can make and keep | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
the monarchy relevant It's something that I think is very | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
important and the Queen is a fantastic role model to lead | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
that, as she has done A rare and revealing interview. I | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
Witchell is with me now. A rare and revealing interview. I | :15:03. | :15:27. | |
don't know if you noticed how many times he used the word is modern and | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
modernism. We have to see him in that context. He is not a royal who | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
wants to be on a pedestal as so many have been before him. He wants to | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
have some kind of normal life, that is why his job as an air ambulance | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
pilot is so important to him, that is why it is so important to be a | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
hands-on parent. He will remain in touch with reality, insofar as we | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
can define that. You see the influence of his late mother there. | :15:57. | :16:13. | |
In one respect, he is a traditionalist, we discovered that | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
when I asked him what model of monarchy will you follow as William | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
the fifth? He plumped for the model of his noninterventionist | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
grandmother. A lot of people will be really quite relieved that the | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
future William the fifth regards the model of Elizabeth II as the one he | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
would wish to follow. Thank you. That is | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
would wish to follow. Thank you. this glorious evening. Thanks, | :16:37. | :16:37. | |
Sophie. And still to come, the surf's up | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
as we talk to first time voters in Northern Ireland ahead | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
of the Stormont election next month. In Sportsday on BBC News - | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn reveals Ronnie O'Sullivan texted him | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
after turning down a 147, saying it was good publicity | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
for a sport Hearn thinks There could be fresh hope | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
for Tata Steel workers in the UK today as a senior director | :17:04. | :17:15. | |
at the company announced he is trying to launch | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
a management buyout It's believed the deal | :17:19. | :17:19. | |
would mean steel making continues at Port Talbot, | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
despite its huge losses. Our Wales Correspondent | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Hywel Griffiths is there, it's worth emphasising | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
this potential buyout Yes. A lot of unanswered questions. | :17:31. | :17:44. | |
It is a deal that should appeal to the workers here and at Tata's other | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
plants in England. But how much public and private money would have | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
to go in to this place to keep it afloat for the coming years until | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
conditions afloat for the coming years until | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
fiercely competitive global steel market. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Could Britain's biggest steel-maker be taken over by its grassroots? | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
Details of the buyout plan, part funded by staff, are still being | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
Not everybody's got money hanging around to invest in | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
I think we need some is Europe is that the issues | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
we've been talking about are going to be dealt with before we put money | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
into it in the same way that other companies | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
and Tata can't afford to | :18:38. | :18:38. | |
invest with the way the Chinese are dumping steel and the energy | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
costs, employees can't afford to invest in | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
The man behind the buyout is Stuart Wilkie, | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
the boss at Port Talbot, who failed to convince Tata's board | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
It's understood he would keep the plant's blast furnaces | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
making steel from scratch but would need the government to bear some of | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
I know the management and the workers have had a plan | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
and part of that plan is to keep the blast | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
That's going to be very difficult, let's be honest | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
That's really what should be at the heart of any | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
For me, the jury is out at the moment because we need to see | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
the detail of the financial package that is behind this buyout plan. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
So, we're waiting to see the detail but, | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
in principle, it's a very positive move. | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
Anyone who takes over the | :19:29. | :19:29. | |
business will need to be certain of keeping its customers. | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Steel made here is turned into everything from | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
car parts to tin cans, so holding onto the order book will be key. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Any new company will be in direct competition with Tata. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
These works have a sister plant in Holland that | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
make a lot of the same steel, separation could lead to a rather | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
We know there's overcapacity in the world, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
So, some of the European steelmakers would be likely to take out | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
capacity, so it is an issue for Tata. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
If Port Talbot is producing quality products of the same quality | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
that it produces in other plants in Europe, then its competition. | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
So far, only one other company has said | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
it wants to buy the business, whoever takes over will have the | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
Unemployment has risen for the first time in almost a year. | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
Between December and February it rose by 21,000 to 1.7 million. | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
However, the unemployment rate remained unchanged | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
during that period at 5.1%, which is still down | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
Another scandal has hit the car industry. | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
This time it's the Japanese car manufacturer Mitsubishi | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
which has admitted falsifying test data to show better fuel | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
consumption for more than half a million vehicles in Japan, | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
At a press conference in Tokyo company bosses bowed in apology, | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
admitting employees had intentionally faked | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
tyre pressure figures to give better mileage rates. | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
The Prime Minister has defended plans to force every state school | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
in England to become an academy, saying it's time | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
But he's facing increasing opposition from his own backbenches | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
with some questioning the wisdom of forcing all schools to make | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Let's talk to our political correspondent | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
The PM defiant in the House of Commons today but are there signs | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
the government may amend this policy a little around the edges? | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
There certainly won't be a full-scale reversal of this policy. | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
The cabinet believes very strongly that academies raise standards but | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
there is growing concern. David Cameron's own Conservative | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
councillor in Oxfordshire said that she was fed up with diktats from on | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
high. It was also described as a heavy-handed and top-down policy. | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
They feel that if a school is doing well, it should be left alone. The | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
argument is, if headteachers know what is best for their school, they | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
should be allowed to say no to this. They have said that there could be | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
some extra money for oral schools but the government has said that | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
there is six years for this policy to be commented and plenty of time | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
for discussion. -- rural schools. They're called the Good | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Friday generation. On May 5th, people in | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
Northern Ireland go to the polls with a whole generation | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
born since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
voting for the first time. In the latest in our a series | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
on the elections, we look at what this election means | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
to those who've grown up Chris Buckler reports ahead | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
of a special youth debate tonight. 18 years after the Good Friday | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
agreement was signed, Northern Many believe, like these | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
first-time voters, politics here | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
is starting to come of age. And, after the turbulent | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
decades of violence, there is no doubt this is a much calmer | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
and more stable place. I actually went over | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
to Edinburgh and was talking to all the people from | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Scotland and England and you tell them you're from Northern Ireland | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
and they'll be, like, "Really?" They seem to think the Troubles | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
are still ongoing. I just want to take them over | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
here and just bring them to Northern Ireland so they can | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
see how great it is. That's why I want to stay | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
in the country but it's just, obviously, | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
the job prospects are scary. For this generation, | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
jobs are really important. All the politicians standing | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
in next month's assembly elections know improving the economy | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
is key to keeping the brightest Across the constituencies | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
here, unionists, nationalists, and all the other | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
parties are under pressure to improve Northern Ireland's | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
stretched health service. I think talk is cheap, | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
a lot of the times. Politicians say a lot | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
about what they're going to do but they really need | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
to put it into action. There are some nursing | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
students here at Belfast's Queen University | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
who wonder if their vote will really The power-sharing government | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
requires all the big parties to work together but | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
disagreements can prevent change. People just vote for what parties | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
suit their religion but, I think, a lot of the parties just aim | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
to please their followers. It's probably not | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
the most effective way it's something that Northern Ireland | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
needs and something that we can't Must of the heat created | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
by old conflicts is dying away, the challenge now for both | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
politicians and this younger generation is to create | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
a brighter future. To speak despite this disagreement, | :24:47. | :25:05. | |
Stormont has difficulties dealing with this generation. For young | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
people, politicians seem to be always talking about the past and | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
not the future for. For the first time, young people will get a chance | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
to question those politicians, it will be live here in Northern | :25:19. | :25:20. | |

some showers blowing up into the north-west of the UK. It is going to | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
be quite chilly tonight, not as cold as last night. But there may be a | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
pinch of frost in northern areas. The area of sunshine is going to be | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
shrinking tomorrow. More cloud coming across southern parts of the | :26:16. | :26:22. | |

might be a spot of rain in day for many southern areas, there | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
south-west. There won't be the blue day for many southern areas, there | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
skies we had today but it is still going to be quite warm. The highest | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
temperatures may be in the north of England. The cloud breaking up in | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
