I have been watching, and rewatching, and rewat....,( well you get the idea) and have always loved it; Victoria Wood, Celia Imrie, Julie Walters, Duncan Preston - whats not to love? But I just watched a documentary about "Crossroads" and its star Noel Gordon, and, now that I have more context, I enjoy "Acorn Antiques" even more than before!
I absolutely love and appreciate Victoria Wood and to be honest, I'm a lifelong drug addict , so my opinion probably means nothing to you all, but for what it's worth, or not, Victoria Woods, I think is the best/greatest. I enjoy and understand everything you've ever done. Thank you Victoria .
When they turned the antique shop into a sports centre is my absolute favourite. The legend has it that the rest of cast hadn’t seen Mrs O in her aerobics outfit prior to filming - you can see them trying to hold it together when she sashays in, pelvis first as always. TV gold
Sadly in 2021 you won't get this shown on TV no matter who wrote it, how well it's written or performed as snowflake society would deem it too offensive to Asians, disabled, LGBTDFSMFI and Antique dealers! Sad really that society seems to no longer be able to have a laugh at itself.
@@tonycavanagh1929 I feel you've misinterpreted my comment. I'd love to see this and many other comedy sketches shown on screen, but sadly there are those who find even the slightest remark made about a "minority" offensive. It's sad that Victoria Wood was taken from us too early. I'd love to see what she would have done with Covid and lockdown!
Oh gawd. If anyone said any of this now there would be a Twitter outcry - as people who have nothing better to do have hysterics about something that’s got bugger all to do with them.
Richard E Grant... so heartbreakingly prescient in his choice of words. I like to think Victoria would have found laughter in the irony of his comments. 🥰💔❣️
