On television, Walters collaborated regularly with Victoria Wood; their projects included Wood and Walters (1981), Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV (1985–1987), Pat and Margaret (1994), and dinnerladies (1998–2000). She has won the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress four times, more than any other performer, for her roles in My Beautiful Son (2001), Murder (2002), The Canterbury Tales (2003), and Mo (2010). Walters and Helen Mirren are the only actresses to have won this award three consecutive times, and Walters is tied with Judi Dench for most nominations in the category with seven. For her role in A Short Stay in Switzerland (2009), she received the International Emmy Award for Best Actress. In 2006, the British public voted Walters fourth in ITV's poll of TV's 50 Greatest Stars. She may be one of Britain's most successful actors - she won Bafta awards for best actress four years running - but this does not make her immune to self-doubt. She thinks the doubts are probably a legacy from her mother, an Irish Catholic who worked as a post office clerk, while her father was a builder. "She had impossibly high standards. Nothing could be good enough. I think that's why I got on in acting, that huge drive. My mother and I clashed because we were very alike. She was a very strong character and was constantly worried for us. Partly it comes from being an immigrant - you have to work hard and not let people discover your weaknesses. You have to be the best at everything." St Chads Hospital". Bhamb14.co.uk. Archived from the original on 3 March 2016 . Retrieved 15 January 2016.
