Editorial Reviews

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars I Don't Believe It!!!, August 19, 2006

This review is from: One Foot in the Grave [Region 2] (DVD)

Well, I finally gave up and ordered this excellent series from Amazon UK in the region two format. It wasn't all that expensive to pick up a multi-region player and boy has it been worth it. "One Foot in the Grave" is one of the funniest comedies to come out of Britian. Richard Wilson is absolutely hilarious as Victor Meldrew, a working man of 60 replaced by a square box and forced into early retirement. His moaning, groaning and griping character is played to perfection - there's never too much. Annette Crosbie is the perfect counterpoint as the long-suffering Margaret and I throughly enjoy the delightful, fluttery actress who plays Mrs. Warboys. I don't know if this show will ever be released in region one but if it ever is, BritCom lovers should snap it up and if it isn't, it's worth getting in region two. Let me add my caution to those who might be tempted to grab the knock-off region one copies from e-bay. Unless your DVD player plays DVD-R, the disk won't work in anything but your computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Foot in the Grave, April 19, 2006

Ruth (Akron, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Foot in the Grave [Region 2] (DVD)

Enter Victor Meldrew - the chronic pessimist, the man to whom everything bad truly does seem to happen. On retiring from his public service job, Victor discovers that having one foot in the grave is not nearly as boring as he expected - nor quite as relaxing. From the personalized tombstone offered by a friend as a retirement present to the radioactive fertilizer dumped in his yard, Victor and his life will give you hours of the best British comedy around. I sincerely hope that this collection becomes available in the USA very soon - I will be first in the queue when it goes on sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OF THE BEST!!, May 8, 2006

By 

KATIEBEAN (UPSTATE NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Foot in the Grave [Region 2] (DVD)

One Foot In The Grave is truly the best Brit-Com ever made. I do not understand why it hasn't been released in the usa. I had to make due by taping off pbs and ordering converted tapes. Please Please release this absolute gem of a show.

Unlike Patrick I would love to be the Meldrew's neighbor! Not to mention Mr. Swaney.

There are tons of brit-coms that have been released in the USA why not OFITG?

Yoo-Hoo people from Amazon...are you reading this? WE WANT ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE!!!!!
