Born in Chippenham in Wiltshire in 1959, Victoria Wicks is the
grand-daughter of writer H.E. Bates on her
mother's side and, along with several other family members, she is a
director of Evensford Productions, a company established to promote her
grand-father's work. Having graduated from the Royal Welsh College of
Music and Drama she became involved with several theatre groups,
notably the Royal Shakespeare Company. She also became a member of The
Wrestling School, a group which specialises in performing the works of
dramatist Howard Barker, with whom
she has appeared internationally. However, to many television viewers
she will always be Sally Smedley, the vain, not too bright news anchor
lady in
Drop the Dead Donkey (1990)
though more recently she has appeared in ongoing roles in the youth
drama series Skins (2007) as the
college head and with the eccentric Mighty Boosh.
