@mataharifilms @JasperRees Love this. The other day I saw this in Swansea - found the story online and shed a little tear. Here’s to memorial benches

This lovely story by my pal @JasperRees represents precisely why an all-pervasive AI should be resisted, put in its place and kept there. What is most human is most sacred, and AI is not an appropriate place to put human trust and faith:

Sum up Victoria Wood in a minute. Me on Becoming Victoria Wood @RoganProduction
That's TV Manchester@ThatsManchester
"There's never really been anyone like her." A new documentary-film about the life of Manchester-born comedian and actress, Victoria Wood, has released in cinemas. 'Becoming Victoria Wood' marks 10 years since her death. That's TV spoke with Victoria's biographer who was consulted on the project, Jasper Rees, about how he hopes younger generations will love her work just as much as those who grew up with her.

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.
