Victoria Woods Acorn Antiques
An Introduction to Acorn Antiques
The extremely funny Acorn Antiques (written by Victoria Wood) was a parody of a mini soap opera (based on the long-running British soap, Crossroads) and set in a shop on the outskirts of the fictional town of Manchesterford, England. Viewers were gripped with the everyday dramas that beset Miss Babs (Celia Imrie), Berta (Victoria Wood) and the glamorous Mrs Overall (Julie Walters). Episodes included Babs and the Cup of Coffee, Mrs Overall and her Apron and the memorably classic Berta Coming...

Victoria Wood Comedy Showcase
The Comedy of Victoria Wood
British comedienne Victoria Wood could always make me laugh out loud! I have loved her observational and parodist humor since first seeing her some time ago. She is perhaps not as media visible these days, but her wit has stood and still stands the test of time. She is not so well known outside of the UK, mainly due to her specific British humor, but anyone watching her can pick up the observations of British society, class and everyday life. One of her funniest sketches, in my honest opini...

British Comedy Sitcom
My Love of British Comedy
I've been a huge fan of British comedy, especially the sitcom, as long as I can remember. I'm not sure, but I believe I started watching them in the 1970's. Channel 13, the PBS affiliate here in Dallas, has always featured British comedy shows on the weekend evenings. My first recollections are of watching "The Benny Hill Show" and "The Dick Emery Show". Then, a little later,"To the Manor Born", "Butterflies" and "Good Neighbors". Those shows got me addicted to British comedy and I've been a...

Top 10 British Comedy Shows of All Time
10 of the best British Comedy series...
This particular list of my top 10 british comedy series is by no means exhaustive, but its based on factors such as originality, intelligence and of course hilarity. You'll note I'm sure that there is no Monty Python nor Fawlty Towers and for this I'll ask you to forgive but not judge. The idea behind the list is that you may find one of two which you have not seen. Basically, 10 is just not enough when it comes to British comedy shows. I'd love to have put in The Mighty Boosh or Berry and Fu...

Best British Comedy Sitcoms
Great British Comedy
I'm now in my 70's and I've been watching British comedy sitcoms ever since I discovered them on Channel 13, the PBS affiliate, here in Dallas. It's impossible to say which one is my favorite as I liked so many. Some a little more than others but very few that I didn't like. From Benny Hill, Dick Emery and Up Pompeii in the 60s, I grew to love Are You Being Served, Good Neighbors and To the Manor Born in the 70s. A few more of my favorites from the 70s were Butterflies, Open All Hours and ...
