ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE: SEASON 3 (DVD)

People, in Victor Meldrew’s view, were created to annoy him. And Victor annoys them too, provoking them to extremes. Sharing the misery, nightmares and confusion are his long-suffering wife Margaret (she’ll never forget the day she found Victor buried up to his neck with a flowerpot over his head), friend Mrs. Warboys (she’ll never forget that country walk with her foot cemented to Victor’s), and neighbors Mr Swainey and his bedridden mother Pippa (she will never forget the pile of radioactive manure on her drive) and Patrick (who will never forget the hideous experience of having a crab surgically removed from his genitals).
