About this series
One Foot in the Grave is a BBC television sitcom series. The series features the exploits of Victor Meldrew and his long-suffering wife, Margaret.

Living in a typical household in an unnamed English suburb, Victor takes involuntary early retirement.

Despite its traditional production, the series supplants its domestic sitcom setting with elements of black humour and surrealism.
