- The exploits of irascible retiree Victor Meldrew continue in Season Six and he fights misfortune, misadventure and sheer bad luck that life just loves to throw at him. The grim reaper finally gets to Victor Meldrew. He may not arrive in the form of a strangely-shaped unordered parcel, as a workman with the intellect of an orangutan, or even as Meldrew-fixated ex-neighbor Patrick, but he better be

DVD Review: HILARIOUS BRITISH SAGA OF A FORCED RETIREMENT GONE AWRY
Summary: 5 Stars
SIDE-SPLITTING FUNNY. The GROUCHIEST Englishman in history but so much mayhem happens to him that he deserves to be grumpy. "The Complete Collection One Foot in the Grave" is a series based on confusion, retirement, and moaning. Situations are absurd and unbelievable--but pile up on newly retired Victor Meldrew like maggots on road kill. You will soon understand the why behind his famous line, "I don't believe it!"
Victor is played by Richard Wilson, a role he'll never live down. He's the Grumpiest of Old Men. He is as fantastic as the script (writer: David Renwick). Victor is the World champion of smart aleck retorts. He's King Curmudgeon. The British Bard of Barbs. Just when you give up hope for something more than cynicism from Victor, he provides an oasis bit of tenderness, a note of loving affection toward his wife. Actually, Victor, attacks every annoying item in society and life, taking natural law into his own hands, only he uses his mouth, and sometimes cunning retaliation. It's funny. He dares do what we've all been tempted to do. He's the occasional "Robin Hood" of OAP (old age pensioners). But you don't have to be old and retired to enjoy this one-man crusade against injustice of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. We've all been there, and you too will cheer Victor's act first-think second attack on fate's little burrs of life. Victor is a moaner and complainer with a purpose. Getting even?
Margaret (Annette Crosbie) puts up with her grumpy, conclusion-jumping husband, because she loves him. Interestingly, in the series she begins as the sweet opposite of Victor. As the years pass, they become more and more alike, disagreeable and dislike-able. But so, so, so funny.
The writing is a masterpiece of convoluted plots, woven together so smoothly, that one is forgotten in the movement into another, then, when least expecting it, some silly consequence occurs from the earlier plot activity. In the end, it's all drawn together, but often leaving one tiny aspect left to the viewer's imagination. It just makes it that much more fun. My wife and I are 60+, retired, and could relate.
