superb..........................

we loved watching the One Foot In The Grave Christmas Specials with Victor and Margaret. The Christmas episodes are:

Starbound - The Meldrews return home to find a man living in their shed (played by Ray Winstone), who it later turns out is a drug dealer. Victor has a new job as a gardener working for Patrick's new boss Fenella Fortune (played by Rula Lenska). However, it seems that weedkiller has become an appropriate title. Meanwhile, Mr. Swainey's mother is claiming that she is being abducted by aliens every night. Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds is used in the closing credits.

and Endgame - The Meldrews are trying to make an effort to get on with their pleasant new neighbours, Derek (played by Tim Brooke-Taylor) and Betty McVitie. Matters are complicated when the two couples go on holiday in the same rented cottage, Victor buys a haunted caravan and then accidentally kidnaps the Indian mother of a millionaire.

Well worth watching !
