When I lived in London back in the 80’s my brother turned me onto Victoria Woods – As Seen On TV. Most of it was your typical Brit sketch com, but standouts were pre-movie Julie Walters and Ed Broadbent as well as Susie Blake, the meddling Mum of Shelly on Coronation Street. Best of all from the show was a reoccurring soap opera spoof called Acorn Antiques. It was one of those parodies where everything went wrong with the low low low budget show. So many missed lines, forgotten cues, continuity errors and technical missteps were jammed into every 3 minute spot. See how many times you can see Mrs O wait for her cue in full view of the camera!

Sit back and enjoy. This is the only one I can load here, but if you like them, you can go to YouTube and see the “non embeddable” versions of better quality!
