Acorn Properties, based in Jesmond, are a major letting agent for properties around the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, managing a large number of flats and houses across some of the most popular areas to rent in the region. I was a tenant of Acorn's for five years, so I feel I am now in a position to offer a detailed, long-term perspective on the company and what it is really like to be one of their clients. Way back in 2002, we originally chose to rent from Acorn for the simple reason that they were the only agency we could find that would accept us as tenants; the reason for this being that most agencies will (or at least, did at the time) rent student properties to households consisting entirely of students, and "professional" properties to people who work, but no one seemed to be prepared for tenants that were a mixture of the two.

Advantages: Funny show Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit of an in-joke?

Needless to say, after a few song-and-dance numbers and the trauma of Acorn Antiques becoming a coffee house, all turns out right in the end.
This is a good show and I'm looking forward to seeing it live when it goes on tour next year. There has been no casting info yet, but I do wonder if it will be the same without Julie Walters and the rest of the original cast.
