Acorn Antiques 2

[jwood36]

Delighted they kept the corpsing in and not edit it out, Spike Milligan used to do the same and it was all the better for it. Classic stuff.

[breedak]

Brilliant; my favourite episode.

[Jarren202]

Love Susie Blake's continuity character, so dry and cynical!

[PaulHaigh072]

Just when you think it can't be bettered there's Susie Blake: 'Bath, Edinburgh and somewhere bizarre...where was it? Oh yes: Doncaster.'

[MrTonyInchpractice]

if we take delivery of these antiques in the morning, then we can take delivery of these antiques in the afternoon...

[popazz1]

Now,now children,let's not argue over who knows more about VW's work & just enjoy the uploads,lol.But,did you know.......,hahahahaha!

Sheer comic genius!

[iamzexy]

I bet they had soooooo much fun doing this !!!!

[Rogue2808]

Comedy genius!!!

[Starrstrukkx]

I love it how the show is meant to look shabbily made, it makes it so funny, victoria wood is a genius, and I LOVE Julie Walters!

[PhazonPhantom]

Lol I live in Doncaster.

[marybat01]

<3 acorn antiques <3 xx

[Donlar89]

I sometimes think being widowed is God's way of telling you to come off the pill - haha!! Genius! And when Mrs Babs does a double take at the swinging door when Miss Berta comes in and it doesn't shut!

[RetroGirl1974]

Love the same two customers they have in every episode... didn't pay out too much for extras eh? LOL

[wellohmeeeeeee]

Its even funnier if you are old enough to remember Crossroads...Amy Turttle and Shoiee McFee and the wobbling set were real

[RetroGirl1974]

@wellohmeeeeeee LOL, I'm old enough (*cringe*). lol

[CorrieFanable]

@wellohmeeeeeee God I've wanted to meet someone who was old enough to remember the first six weeks of Crossroads when it had the 'fold away' set before the proper ones were introduced. They swayed bad apparently cos it was all done in an old theatre with hardly any room to swing Noele Gordon's hand bag.

[247jakes]

i think this is really funny and im not even a gay

[kieran196]

Brilliant,brilliant,brilliant, a sort of piss take of Crossroads in a way!

[RelativeBadger]

@kieran196 This was not a 'sort of piss take of Crossroads' - Victoria Wood said that's ALL it was - a COMPLETE piss take of Crossroads.

[ATVNETWORKLIMITED]

@RelativeBadger Rubbish, she's said its based on Coronation Street, Waggoners Walk and Crossroads actually. The electrocution scene is a direct piss-take of Valerie Barlow's hair dryer death and FYI the 'behind the scenes spoof' was based on the one recently made at that time about EastEnders and Julia Smith.

[kieran196]

@RelativeBadger Well I was being polite...sort of!

[AxeGrrrl]

What does Julie say at 1:11? it _sounds_ like: 'sometimes I think being widowed is God's way of telling me to come off the pill'

hehe is that what she said? :)

[Blacknarcissa]

Yeah. Sounds like that to me.

[jtcov]

yes, you got it exactly right

[allant74]

LMAO...Would love to have seen the stage show, Victoria Wood is a genius.

[rach158]

@allant74 you can get it on dvd i think....just go on amazon.

i would definatly recommend it because i saw it on stage and it was amazing!

[evertchris]

i was really hoping Anyone Can Break A Vase would make it to the musical, but it wasnt to be!

[UncleFeedle]

The beauty of this is how they don't have to worry about things like sound booms creeping into the shot, camera shadows, etc. Because it's meant to be crap, none of that matters!

[jessywilson]

1:57! I love Julie so much!!! Fantastic lol!

[Markjuk]

Isn't the announcer at the start played by the actress who was Bev Unwin in Corrie?

[roniouk]

Brilliant. Ive just pissed my pants.

[financehipflask]

i love celia imries face at 3:33

[financehipflask]

when Mrs O laughs at 1:57 is that part of acorn antiques or is it julie walters laughing? - anyone know?

[SMThomasson]

I think it was a genuine "blooper" but they left it in as part of Acorn Antiques to add to it's amateurish charm.

[financehipflask]

im so glad someone else thinks so. it is too good to not be a mistake.

[youresuchajerk]

"As I said, it certainly SOUNDS like a genuine Picasso, Martin, but I would have to see it to be sure... Bye.."

[jackbigglestone1]

i love how at the end of the coffee scene you can just hear Berta say 'hmm, thats not coffee'

[ANTICHITASCIPPA]

un bel video

[Thraxwhirl]

I love the backdrop that sways behind the windows. And the bit where Victoria's obscuring the shot is priceless.

Love they way they "forget" their lines occasionally.

Classic.

[DizChickWannabe]

Hahahahahaha.

I'm 14 years old and I'm addicted to Victoria Wood sketches, lol!

I love that continuity announcer...

[financehipflask]

good for you i'm 18 and its alot better than some of the so called 'comedy' shite that is on our tv's in this day, not that all of it is rubbish only some.

[AxeGrrrl]

It's so funny you say that.....because I was about that age (maybe a year or two older) when I thought that the Victoria Wood show and in _particular_ 'Acorn Antiques' were the funniest things around :)

I'd watch those skits over and over......

[beebandloz]

'sometimes I think being a widow is god's way of telling you to come off the pill' lol

[firestartertwistedfi]

homemade gingerbread - that's what i need

[zombiiepirate]

[fakegirl15]
