In Victoria's Empire, Britain's favourite comedienne, Victoria Wood, travels through the old British Empire in search of the legacy of Queen Victoria. Victoria's irreverent pilgrimage will take her to key places around the world that also share her namesake, from Fort Victoria in Ghana, to Victoria in Nova Scotia, and finishing at Zambia's Victoria Falls.
Victoria's adventure will be fuelled by her fascination with the queen both her public and private personas. 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.

Why I Recommend
Audible by Alan Twigg
Audible (an Amazon.com company) is the world's leading online
audio-book provider. Audible is responsible for supplying audio
content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening,
enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With
the arrival of the internet and portable digital devices,
audio-books began to become availalbe for download.
Having tried most of
the other download services myself, I finally came to
the conclusion that Audible offers the best and most
reliable service. Whether you are using an IPod, IPhone,
mobile phone, Dune or one of the many other MP3 players
availalbe, Audilbe makes downloading great quality audio
content easy and umcomplicated.
In addition to this, Audible also boasts the most comprehensive collection
of audio books anywhere. Depending on the promotion currently on
offer, you can download any audiobook of your
choice for free (including almost
certainly the title on this
page, too).
