Think of One Foot in the Grave as a British version of Curb Your Enthusiasm: Cranky, misanthropic Victor Mildrew (the wonderfully bilious Richard Wilson) perceives himself as the only sane man in a world out to drive him mad--a world in which yoga instructors abruptly keel over, a dead cat appears in his freezer, a man in a bee costume uses his loo, and an escaped snake crawls into his luggage. Of course, Victor can dish it out too; he gives a political candidate a severe tongue-lashing and has a vacuum cleaner duel with an old man who's even more cantankerous than Victor. Only his long-suffering wife Margaret (sweet-tempered Annette Crosbie, Calendar Girls, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman) provides Victor with any serenity--even as he destroys hers! Wilson had a long career before One Foot in the Grave (including the series Tutti Frutti, costarring with Emma Thompson and Robbie Coltrane), but this show became a phenomenon, giving a voice of outrage to the disenfranchised (young and old alike) in Margaret Thatcher's political era. But politics were always secondary to humor, and anyone with a taste for scathing invective and madcap plots will bask in Wilson's indignity. Written by David Remnick, creator of Jonathan Creek. --Bret Fetzer

- "9 o'clock...14 more hours before it's time to go to bed"---Victor MeldrewThis series was recommended to me by Amazon since I like Britcoms like 'Are You Being Served?,' 'Yes, Minster,' 'Keeping Up Appearances,' and 'Fawlty Towers.' I had never seen this show, so I thought I'd give it a try. Like many British sitcoms (contrary to American ones), this series deals with the senior age group. Victor Meldrew (Richard Wilson), a grouch at the latter half of middle age with the sarcastic wit of Basil Fawlty, is forced into early retirement from his job in security reception ... Read More

- Hilarious brittish comedy!If you enjoy Brittish comedy (generally drier) you will love this show! Full of sarcasm and satire, the writers are fantastic, and the acting is great!

- This is me and my husbandI just love all the One Foot in the Grave series. This will be my husband in a few years.The series gives you a light side of getting old so you have to laugh.

- Hilarious British comedy- don't be a Victor Meldrew, watch it!I just love this show! I found it by accident when purchasing other British comedies on Amazon. It's a comedy along the lines of Fawlty Towers, The Thin Blue Line and Blackadder. Yet, One Foot in the Grave is distinctly unique. It covers an overlooked segment of the population (the recently retired & aging segment).
If you have never saw One Foot in the Grave, start at season 1 and work your way up through all the seasons. The show and characters are more enjoyable watched in order, as ... Read More
Rating:
- one foot in the graveI always enjoy British comedy and this is no exception. It is a dark comedy of a grouchy man forced into retirement by technology. Well worth the watch.
