10/10

Brilliant, amazing comedy.

Absolutely wonderful, this needed to be on for Christmas 2020, as a reminder of what quality comedy is all about.

Quality sketches from the very start, with Susie Blake's harsh continuity announcer, to the Coronation Street scene, all the way through to the very end.

Quality sketch after quality sketch, the diversity, variety and talent of all involved is incredible. Victoria Wood will forever be one of the best comedy talents of all time, the material is incredible.

That Acorn Antiques sketch is glorious, simply wonderful, and Maggie Steed is a scene stealer.

They don't make comedy like this any more. 10/10.
