doubles as an ab workout video September 16, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I only saw this a few years back and it is addictive, hard to only watch it once. In fact it is almost impossible to watch without rewinding constantly to relive some moments over and over and over. Only shame is that it is not available on DVD.
Simply the funniest show I have ever seen! September 22, 2003

I think the title says it all. Nothing else has ever made me cry with laughter despite so many repeat viewings. Celia Imrie and Julie Walters are simply awesome, and of course, i bow down to the stunning skill of Victoria Wood in creating these characters and providing them with some of the funniest lines ever committed to celluloid. Muesli, oil tankers and Gainsborough's "Blue Boy" will never be the same again.

This is quite possibly the funniest series of sketches ever to appear on television and deserves to have a DVD release. I recently acquired this video and have watched it over and over again for the past 2 weeks. Celia Imrie is a brilliant Miss Babs while Julie Walters provides excellent support in the thinly veiled Hilda Ogden character of Mrs Overall. If you ever sat through early series of Crossroads you will see what a treat this send up is!

I have never laughed so much in one viewing! I couldn't help but to watch it all the way through. Only something this good, and professional (cough cough) could come form the great mind of Victoria Wood. Pure bloody genius. Buy it now, in fact, buy two.
The best soap...ever November 19, 2000

Do you remember that magical episode whereCousin Jerez forgot the cheque? Or when the triplets went to see 'Get Carter'? How about that heart wrenching moment when Mrs. Overall bit into that macaroon or when the extras finally bought the leopard statue. If not then you need to buy this video to relive the fabulous antics of the workers at 'Acorn Antiques'. Never has there been a soap opera so warm, so genuine and so utterly hilarious - apart from, maybe, 'Eldorado'. If you are in need of a good laugh... buy this video interspersed with the dry wry delivery of Susie Blake as the Coninuity announcer. Join Celia Imrie, Julie Walters, Duncan Preston and of course, the genius, Victoria Wood at the prestigious, glamourous and atrocious 'Acorn Antiques'.
