Cheers Beth - glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the mac that Maggie Steed is wearing is just magnificent - love the cuffs on it and it looks like it's made of quite thick PVC - a real quality mac!

You won't have heard of the series Beth because 'Acorn Antiques' was a regular feature in the two series of 'Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV'. Each sketch lasted about 4 or 5 minutes within the shows themselves. The two series of the show ran from 1985 to 1987.

About 20 seconds into the scene you see a fair-haired lady in the background reading a script, sharing an umbrella with a tall man in a red jacket. I can't tell for sure because she's never in clear focus, but is she also wearing a plastic rain bonnet?

Just had a look - yeah, I see what you mean. It looks like a white semi-transparent chiffon headscarf to me.
