She will explore how Victoria felt about the colonisation being forged in her name and what she was like as a wife and mother. In her inimitable fashion, Victoria Wood will record her adventure tracing a nation's colourful history - blending the outrage and eccentricity with a celebration of the ordinary, Cover and spine sub-title: A journey through the British Empire with Victoria Wood, Includes bibliographical references, Ghana -- Jamaica -- Newfoundland -- India -- Hong Kong -- Borneo -- New Zealand -- Australia -- Zambia
