    The late great Victoria Wood could do no wrong in my eyes, Acorn Antiques is loosely based on the soap Crossroads. The moving sets the camera angles microphones coming into shot and the actors going off script. Combine this the telephone answered before it rings and then ringing, so bad it's funny. Combined with the comic timing of Celia Imrie, Julie Walters and Duncan ,(now Emmerdale) is so bad it's perfect. Victoria Wood was unusual as a comic writer she gave others the time to shine which she did in this. The story lines are either non existent or appear made up as the show goes on. Good clean fun no bad language Mrs Overall is the true star . DVD extras ( check to see if yours has them) outtakes are very funny making a bad program is difficult the out takes are very funny, I also had the Mrs Overall story(Walters) the program goes behind the life of the actress who plays Overall who is totally opposite to the character. This is funny in a sad way and once again Wood shows how to do it, along with clips from the west end hit show of the same name . Sadly we will not see the likes of Wood again but we do have her shows to remember her by.

  • Car Boot Sale

    If this was split into small sections of a Victoria Wood Show some of it would have been very funny. It was annoying with an incomprehendible plot for the first half. The ending reminded one of the village hall panto but if thats what you expect from a Musical...... It went to a car boot sale where it sat unwanted and has now gone to a charity shop....

  • Light entertainment with amusing charcters

    Probably not as good as the TV series but interesting and entertaining with lots of laughs. All the favourite characters are here. Songs are typical of Victoria Wood.

  • Brilliant.

    I remember Acorn Antiques from when it was first broadcast. This musical version was not as I expected, but it is very, very entertaining. The original characters (and actors) are still present, but it is not a repeat of the tv broadcasts. The theme, story, acting, singing, and dancing are exceptional. I really enjoyed it, and hope you do too.
