Victoria was the original hostess on 'Sale,' and gave the show a great deal of... well, uh, I guess the only way to desribe it is 'a lot of Victoria!' You'll have to forgive me for using these terrible words, but I can't possibly describe her without resorting to the cliches of 'wacky', 'zany', 'mad', 'over-the-top', 'bubbly', 'flamboyant', 'larger-than-life' and just plain funny. She was often seen to play characters on the show, dress up in bizarre costumes (the fashions of the time helped in this regard!), and, as Delvene Delaney once said, be a lot cheekier with Tony than any of the other hostesses would dare.

Her era on the show was the strongly show-driven one. Even though the format of the game never 'suffered,' the show placed great emphasis on its personalities and pace.

Born in 1954, her performing career began in the 1970s, playing such roles as Raelene Geddes in The Restless Years and Heather Rogers in Prisoner. She also appeared in the movies The Journalist and Temperament Unsuited, and on stage in The Rocky Horror Show

After her time on Sale, she was promised some further career opportunites, but these failed to come to fruition, and she adopted a semi-reclusive nature. She appeared in a number of commercials for an electronics company, and, in 1988, participated in workshops in screenwriting and production techniques. These proved to be a worthhile investment, because they lead to guest appearances on Have a Go, You've Got To Be Joking and, eventually, the made-for-TV movie Shipmates. She also made further stage appearances in a dinner-theatre production of Neil Simon's Plaza Suite, and, in 1992, performed in a touring production of Educating Rita.

In the 1990s she worked as entertainment reporter for the Nine Network's Today, a position she vacated in 1995 to join the cast of the ill-fated soapie Echo Point. Perhaps not the wisest of career moves, but the simple storylines and miserable excuses for 'acting' which surrounded her, would have been wonderful training for her role in 'dramatic' segments on ABC's English Have A Go, an information program for people whose first language is not English. Naturally, a program such as this never aims for 'high-quality drama' status, but, in my humble opinion, it's right up there with Home and Away.
