Available for over a year

Maxine Peake said she was "terrified" of her friend and "inspiration" Victoria Wood in an interview for the documentary Victoria Wood As Not Seen On TV. Wood, who gave Maxine her first break in the hit TV series Dinnerladies, was a role model to the actress from a young age. "I spent two years being overwhelmed... I was petrified of being surrounded by all this talent", Maxine told the BBC's James Alexander.
