Sara Pascoe on Virginia Woolf

Comedian Sara Pascoe champions the life of Virginia Woolf, author of 'Mrs Dalloway' and 'A Room of One's Own', describing her as a sensible feminist.

Sara explains why she thinks if she were alive today, Woolf would be a comedian, and how through her diaries and letters she's discovered the witty, manic and egotistical Virginia.

Presenter Matthew Parris confesses to struggling with her work.

Professor Alexandra Harris is the expert.
