	Victoria Wood
		At 12, she began to like the idea of singing songs or being a comedy actress, but it wasn't until at the age of 15 that her talent began to shine.
		Despite her obvious musical and comedy skills however, her originality meant that it was very difficult to categorise her; she sang funny songs - so couldn't be called a stand up comic, or a musician.
		She began writing for the BBC, a comedy series called 'Victoria Wood as Seen on TV' - a hugely successful show which won two BAFTA awards and led to a second series and a Christmas Special.

		That was until he happened upon the Comedy Cellar in Dublin and progressed from that little nook over a pub to his now sell-out tour and TV fame.
		The Comedy Cellar was soon to help develop and nurture a 'School for Irish Comedy' offering a space for beginners to do a song or a sketch on a Wednesday night.
		But then, Ireland has never had the 'comedy culture' of Britain, where comedy clubs are no different to the regular theatre in the minds of those wishing to be entertained.

	Whitfield, June
		June Whitfield is a durable comedy actor whose entire career has been spent providing excellent support to virtually every major British comedian on radio and television.
		In the 1950s she became a radio favourite playing the perennially engaged "Eth" in the famous Jimmy Edwards comedy series Take It From Here, but her lasting stardom was due a to a remarkable run of television appearances supporting Britain's best loved comedians and her long-running sitcom series Terry and June.
		She is not the only funny woman of British television to have had such a comedy-support career, but she is arguably the busiest.

	Comedy's Class Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Mr Bean is an unusual comedy in that it is quite possible to read at the same time as watching it and still get the general gist of what is going on.
		As generous as he is to friends and fellow comedians who discount Mr Bean ''it is just not their cup of tea, it's just not their game and they don't enjoy it much'' Atkinson is clearly niggled a little by the news flout on the subject.
		In 1990 at Montreux Festival, the pilot of Mr Bean won the Golden Rose, the City award and the Critics' award.

		Other British mega-productions either died in London (Martin Guerre) or on the pre-Broadway road (Whistle Down the Wind), and expensive attempts to copy the British style (Poland's Metro, Holland's Cyrano and America's Shogun) failed on Broadway.

	Mad Crazy By Inigo Thomas
		An American Academy award given to a British film is invariably used as an occasion to celebrate Britain, as if it were being bestowed on a nation rather than an individual.
		But during that same period, British actors were most successful in non-British roles: Jessica Tandy as Daisy Werthan in Driving Miss Daisy, Jeremy Irons as Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune, Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs, and Michael Caine as Dr. Larch in Cider House Rules.
		To triumph at the Academy Awards, a "British" film should ideally have an all-American cast with an American director and American screenwriters, and be shot in its entirety within a Hollywood studio.
