Overview

Starring Victoria Wood, Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston, with the snobby continuity announcer played by Susie Blake, Acorn Antiques was a mini soap opera set in a shop on the outskirts of Manchesterford. Viewers were gripped with the everyday dramas that beset Miss Babs (Celia Imrie), Berta (Victoria Wood) and the glamorous Mrs Overall (Julie Walters). Now each thrilling episode is available together for the first time on DVD, including "Babs and the Cup of Coffee", "Mrs Overall and her Apron" and the memorable classic "Berta coming through the Doorway". Re-live the drama as Mrs Overall serves up another batch of macaroons and Babs discusses the future of the shop. What will be this week's riveting cliff hanger? Will the set survive? Written by Victoria Wood, Acorn Antiques was Produced and Directed by Geoff Posner and first transmitted as part of Victoria Wood as Seen on TV… in January 1985.

Nørderne Strike Back

Sep 13, 2012

Nørderne Strike Back er et comedyshow om alt det vigtige her i livet! Om dødsstjerner, brætspil, zombier og frem for alt hvor awesome det er at være nørd. Showet blev oprindeligt lavet til Zulu Comedy Festival 2012, men siden har vi også optrådt på flere nørde-kongresser og Leicester Comedy Festival 2013. Nu har vi endelig fået optaget showet, så du kan nyde det hjemme i din helt egen dungeon! Det foregik 28. april 2013 foran et magisk publikum, der mindst var level 80. Og fordi vi synes alle I nørder har været så fantastiske at optræde for, men også som tak for alt det materiale, I har givet os gennem årene, så kan du købe showet for lige hvad du har lyst til. Og husk: for hvert guldstykke du giver os, får vi flere XP som vi kan bruge på at lave endnu mere nørdet comedy. Comedyshow about everything important in life! Everything from deathstars, boardgames, zombies to how awesome it is to be a nerd.
