One Foot in the Grave: Who Will Buy?

Who would have thought retirement could be so chaotic? Certainly not the querulous Victor Meldrew (Richard Wilson), one of tree-lined suburbia's perennial complainers, or his long suffering wife Margaret (Annette Crosbie). But there's one thing to remember in the Meldrew household-whatever can go wrong always does and it usually spells disaser for Victor... Who Will Buy? Victor's gobbling the whisky and the Smarties and fending off the bendy dinosaur salesman who's in the neighbourhood. Whatever next? A benefit concert and a chance for Victor to re-air his old ventriloquist. Love and Death It's time for a weekend visit to see Vince and April in their boarding house on the South Coast. Victor's relishing every minute ... it's ages since he's had a dose of April's honey soaked Weetabix. Timeless Time Victor just can't sleep. What with car alarms, chirping sparrows, dead hedgehogs and his reoccurring leg cramp-the night is just fraught with difficulties. This is terrible - if he gets really bored he might even have to open Ronnie and Mildred's Christmas present from last year.
