One Foot in the Grave

The first ever episode with the original grumpy old man, Victor Meldrew. Replaced at work by a box, Victor embarks on his enforced retirement with some difficulty.

The majestic sitcom. Margaret gets Victor a book from the library on coping with old age. And maybe keep-fit classes will take his mind off his enforced retirement.

Someone paints graffiti on Victor's house, the central heating system is making a din and there's a smell in the living room. Laughs with the old misery guts.

Classic surreal comedy with Richard Wilson. Only Victor and his long-suffering wife Margaret could get trapped in a garden shed with a swarm of bees outside.

A classic episode of the surreal sitcom with poor old Mr Meldrew again frustrated by circumstance. Victor's new interest in art gives his wife cause for worry.

Richard Wilson is the disaster-prone Mr Meldrew in this classic sitcom. The Meldrews' plans for a Greek holiday are distracted by a string of events.
