  Very Dated
  
  As a fan of Victoria Wood I had missed Acorn when it was originally shown, and whilst parts were funny they did not make up into a whole for me. What I did see ... read more »

  Better Than Mrs Overall's Home Made Macaroons
  
  This is an absolutely charming, classic bit of British comedy. I could have watched twice as much - so I watched it twice. And I laughed out loud.

  Acorn Antiques still not dated
  
  Just as funny as when it was on the box and will continue to be as funny in 100 year's time.

  A must for Victoria Wood fans
  
  Don't rent it if you haven't got a silly sense of humour or take life too seriously!
  
  Celia Imrie is under-rated!!!
