One Foot in the Grave

The Meldrews return from holiday to discover that their home has burnt down. Six months later, they throw a party in their new home.

Victor and Margaret agree to look after Kylie the tortoise whilst Margaret's god daughter Jennifer goes on holiday.

While Margaret joins the local amateur dramatic society, Victor decides to be a comedy script writer.

Unexpected visitors drop in and mistakenly suspect Victor of killing an elderly blind man. A concert gives Victor the chance to use his ventriloquist's dummy.

Victor and Margaret head off for a weekend at the seaside. Victor is presented with a most unusual and unwelcome gift.

Victor is unable to sleep, and things get so desperate that he contemplates opening Ronnie and Mildred's Christmas present from last year.

Victor has problems with a pile of manure brought from a dodgy character and suffers embarrassment when he tries to collect a prescription for his haemorrhoids. Eric Idle guest-stars.
