One Foot in the Grave (1990–2001)
9/10
I don't believeee it
23 January 2009
I have such fond memories of this 90's gem, I was very young at the time but my parents used to let me stay up to watch it. UK gold has recently started showing the reruns. As I watch the reruns despite not seen it for years I still remember most of the episodes. The sitcom followed the misadventures of elderly couple grumpy old man Victor Meldrew and his long suffering wife Margaret. The show made Victor Meldrew a household name and his catchphrase "I don't believe it" became just as popular. What set it apart from other 90's sitcoms was that some of the situations were absolutely absurd and implausible, but that was what made it so memorable. One of my favourite moments of one foot in grave is in the episode in which a delivery man actually places a plant pot in the toilet. The show went on for 10 years and in the finale Victor gets killed. One foot in the grave in my opinion was one of the best British sitcoms of the 90's.
