Season 1

The very first series of ONE FOOT... starring Richard Wilson as Victor Meldrew, an everyman forced into early retirement. He's thrust into hanging around the house, tormenting his wife Margaret (Annette Crosbie) just by existing. Taking odd jobs that somehow don't work out, or courting coincidental mayhem around him. David Renwick's script is wonderfully dark and surreal, full of witty ennui and true-to-life observations--that rare winning formula of laughs and pathos where anything and everything conspires against poor old Victor. Caught up in his constant bad luck is Margaret's odd friend Mrs Warboys and odd neighbour Mr Swainey (and his invisible mother).
All the episodes from the first series: ALIVE AND BURIED, THE BIG SLEEP, THE VALLEY OF FEAR, I'LL RETIRE TO BEDLAM, THE ETERNAL QUADRANGLE, THE RETURN OF THE SPECKLED BAND.
