List of One Foot in the Grave episodes

One Foot in the Grave is a British sitcom, created and written by David Renwick and produced by the BBC, broadcast on BBC One throughout its run. The series features the exploits of Victor Meldrew, played by Richard Wilson and his wife, Margaret Meldrew, played by Annette Crosbie, in their battle against the trials of modern life. Supporting cast includes Doreen Mantle as Jean Warboys, Angus Deayton as Patrick Trench, Janine Duvitski as Pippa Trench and Owen Brenman as Nick Swainey.

The series is regularly repeated on subscription channel Gold and has also been screened on Drama. While the programme has always been shown after the 9pm watershed on the BBC, other channels have sometimes broadcast it in earlier slots, with minor edits. It is available to stream on both BBC iPlayer and BritBox.

During the course of the programme, 42 episodes of One Foot in the Grave aired, including seven specials over six series, between 4 January 1990 and 20 November 2000.

In addition, there were also two short specials (under ten minutes in length) for Comic Relief, one of which featured Richard Wilson (Victor Meldrew) alone, though it included at one point the voice of Paul Merton. The Comic Relief special in 2001 was set after Victor's death. Though Richard Wilson appeared, Margaret did not interact with Victor's ghost, being unaware of his presence, although she briefly complains about "cold air" beside her.

Some of the episodes did not feature the regular intro with the tortoise, such as "The Trial", "One Foot in the Algarve", "Rearranging the Dust", "The Wisdom of the Witch", "Starbound", "Endgame" and "Threatening Weather".

The Meldrews attend a fitness class, during which the instructor dies. Victor has been looking after a small bird that regularly perches in his garden; he finds it dead on his lawn and buries it.

The plumber says that the thermostat is faulty and that he will return in three days to fix it. Victor heads a Neighbourhood Watch meeting at his house, where he shows the attendees a starting pistol which he carries to scare off attackers. He goes to a street market where he takes a jacket which he says is his. He meets Mrs Warboys, who shows him a grenade which her dog dug out of her garden. She removes the pin, so Victor throws it onto a bowling green, then lays on the floor.

His perception is not helped by discovering a by-election candidate from the Monster Raving Loony Party, dressed as a bee, using the bathroom.

Victor wrongly assumes that a man who is sitting in a wheelchair is unable to walk and wheels him around and carries him up flights of stairs, until he stands up and tells Victor that it is his wife's wheelchair. An Indian python escapes from a garden centre, and Victor unwittingly carries it into his house. It enters his suitcase and Victor takes it to the airport.
