Seen through Victor Meldrew's eyes, a kind gesture can become just one more indignity in life's rich and bitter pageant: "Someone stood up for me on the bus today – looked at me as if I was some sort of living skeleton dangling from the rail."
One Foot in the Grave is an award-winning, imaginative tale of old age and life's little ironies. It explores the world of sixty-year-old Victor Meldrew, a black-humored anti-hero – and one of British television's great comic creations.
Although Victor's behavior drives Margaret crazy, when all is said and done, both husband and wife realize that simply having each other makes life immeasurably rich and worthwhile.
