One Foot In The Grave The Beast in the Cage S3 Ep4 Part3

[sesanner]

"Waiting for Godot" . . . with an audience-friendly finale.

I've come to enjoy "One Foot In the Grave" thanks to a maturing ability to forgive myself for being as obnoxious as Victor Meldrew.

Thanks, callzum2.

[Jakevich]

The mechanics' song is classic!!

[AngusTheWolf]

3:11 continuity. Margaret was already looking at the couple in the car, next cut shes turning her head to look at them :)

[TheFirebird23]

Victor had every right to have a go at that man and those women. It is soo rude to shout a conversation through his car.

[jeffwunder]

I've never seen such great comedy writing and acting anywhere. Beautifully acted and written, almost Shakespearean. This episode just works so well for our times. Funny, so meaningful, and relevant. I can watch it again and again.

[pacidessi]

"They,..,they hold the note quite well, don't they?" Haha, excellent.

[BluntedKillah]

lol victors face when he's listning 2 that tape is class

[MegaDanDrum]

The whole episode is metaphor for getting old, David Renwick, is right up their with John Sullivan when it comes to great comedy writing, nothing really comes close to those two, nowadays.

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love the mechanic song if you look at mrs warboys in the background she really trying not to laugh.

[phantomhurricane666]

victor mildrew, the sort of bloke who you really want to slap, but you also can't stop laughing at his personality.

[LordShivasServant]

Excellent marketing technique

[exsquilax]

[GayGeisha]

I love these episodes - the ones where there is little action, but great dialouge. Renwick is SUCH a great writer.

[RisingDampChamp]

One of the best episodes i ever did make for proper for true :)

[Orypeci]

That song by the car mechanics is bloody brilliant. Perfect timing, and everything.

[fozzerbluenose]

HAHAHAHAH!

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??"

lol

[LaurenDrummondsMan]

LOL I F***ing Love this episode. Proberly my favourite other than Nippy

[Dreamer8976]

I agree

[Majed61]

That is how grate comedies were made. I don't know what is wrong with the BBC today

[hogalog]

@Majed61 because they are to scared of offending people.... could you imagine them bringing out bottom, or alf garnett these days?

[chubbylilloser]

@Majed61 100% agreed... look at the awful sitcoms they bring out in the last few years... when youre gone... *shudder* 'Two pints of larger' nothing original or funny. The last good, original, sitcom i think was the office and extras and they were partly made by HBO.

[Majed61]

@chubbylilloser Yes, people now prefer to see an episode of only fools and h for a 100 times rather than seeing one episode of the new sitcoms. For unknown reason BBC couldn't keep their greatest actors like David Jason, probably the best British comedian of his time. Now he is playing a detective in Touch of Frost. Any good actor can play the role of a detective, only Jason can play Dell boy. The BBC replaced such grate actors with others that have more good look than humor

[chubbylilloser]

@Majed61 thats so true, the likes of kenny kenny everett, sid james, Tony hancock and other 'vintage' comedy actors wouldnt get a look in because they dont have the 'look'. The BBC have really lost touch of what make people laugh :( While i Like only fools, dads army etc i have seen it milked SO much on UK Gold it puts me off watching them any longer. :'(

[TheFirebird23]

@chubbylilloser I just read your comment and I have to agree. The sitcoms these days are getting way to American and are not funny in the slightest. I watched a few minutes of Life of Riley and Outnumbered and I switched off in disgust.

[chubbylilloser]

@TheFirebird23 UGh, yeah both of them are awful :( Nothing origina, just anotehr family with the same situations happening over and over :( I actully heard the other day they are on about remaking steptoe and son.. -_-

[the1musiclad]

@TheFirebird23 - if you only watched a few minutes of Outnumbered you're being silly. It's one of the best sitcoms of the last decade along with Extras and The Office. Series 4 is nowhere near as good and the first 3 though. As for being "too American" the best comedy at the moment is American (Community). One Foot in the Grave was exceptional even for its time and not being as good as it is nothing to be embarrassed about

[williamhallalizee]

My fave episode, just brilliant.

[1niloc3]

lol classic lol
