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 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.

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 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!
