Tonight on BBC4 a repeat run of One Foot in the Grave starts. Starring Richard Wilson as forcibly retired Victor Meldrew. Each episode sees Victor rail against the modern world while his long suffering wife Margaret (played by Annette Crosbie) listens on. Featuring scenes of surreal humour such as a lorry load of garden gnomes being machine gunned. But also rather grim moments like Victor seeing care home residents being abused by the staff. The show ran for ten years from 1990 picking up many awards along the way tonight you can remind yourself why.
