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.

Oh sod propriety, I’m QTing this
I’ve listened to this and it’s full of astonishing moments. Victoria Wood has been brilliantly served by @JasperRees - first with his biography Let’s Do It, and now with this Archive on 4, which is on @BBCRadio4 at 8 o’clock tonight. Credit too to producer @DavidTylerPozz

I’ve never written a radio programme before and I’m so lucky to have been produced by David, who was an exec on dinnerladies and is a true radio ninja. The brilliant title is his.
Getting excited about "Victoria Wood - Loose Chippings" on @BBCRadio4 tonight - linked by her own audio diaries recorded while making #dinnerladies… presented by VW's very own biographer @JasperRees Hope you enjoy!
