The very first series of ONE FOOT... starring Richard Wilson as Victor Meldrew, an everyman forced into early retirement. He's thrust into hanging around the house, tormenting his wife Margaret (Annette Crosbie) just by existing. Taking odd jobs that somehow don't work out, or courting coincidental mayhem around him. David Renwick's script is wonderfully dark and surreal, full of witty ennui and true-to-life observations--that rare winning formula of laughs and pathos where anything and everything conspires against poor old Victor. Caught up in his constant bad luck is Margaret's odd friend Mrs Warboys and odd neighbour Mr Swainey (and his invisible mother).
All the episodes from the first series: ALIVE AND BURIED, THE BIG SLEEP, THE VALLEY OF FEAR, I'LL RETIRE TO BEDLAM, THE ETERNAL QUADRANGLE, THE RETURN OF THE SPECKLED BAND.

You may think you've had plenty of things go wrong in your life, but that's nothing compared to the kind of things that happen to Victor Meldrew. (Richard Wilson)
We should be ashamed at all the laughs we get out of someone elses misfortune, but it's the way it's presented in this comedy treat that makes us forget all about that.
Recently appearing in the top 10 British Comedy awards, this is undeniably one of the greatest comedies around, watch and enjoy!
I love this serie but I had never seen the first few ones and despite being old they still make you LOL.
I wish they didn't killed that serie.
