One Foot In the Grave

One Foot in the Grave is a BBC television sitcom series that follows the misadventures of Victor Meldrew and his long-suffering wife, Margaret. The episodes typically focus on Meldrew's struggles with the problems he inadvertently creates for himself. Living in a typical household in an unnamed English suburb, Victor finds himself involuntarily retired early. The sitcom explores his various attempts to occupy himself, often leading to misfortunes and misunderstandings. The series was largely filmed on location in Walkford, near New Milton in Hampshire, although several clues suggest the setting might be in Hampshire – possibly Winchester. Despite its traditional production, the series combines a domestic sitcom setting with elements of black humour and surrealism.
