One Foot In The Grave

I rather hope by now that you aren't growing tired of sitcoms.  I mentioned a top 100 list of Britain's best sitcoms in a previous post and it is no surprise when you consider that list of 100 and the fact that other sitcoms did not make it onto the list, that we love sitcoms.  However many of our shows never leave our land, a fair few have been exported but the majority have not. 

'One Foot In The Grave' is a prime example of dry British humour, Victor Meldrew being the epitome of grumpy old men everywhere and his attitude to life is so wry one can't help but laugh at it.  This show is perhaps the first sitcom I ever watched that had a main character with a catchphrase of sorts the "I don't believe it" line oft spouted from Mr Meldrew - something which would later go on to be referenced throughout various shows even in Father Ted when Richard Wilson who played Victor Meldrew made a cameo appearance.
