Notes

Sylvia Breakwell comes from Ludlow, Shropshire. She works as a Queen Victoria impersonator going round the country working in various events. On the plinth she wants to publicise her being Queen Victoria and her colleagues who work with her and dress as her lady in waiting and Mr Brown, etc and they add a bit of comic twist to their acts. Dresses up in the dress of the time. She does half the interview as Queen Victorian and half as herself.
