One Foot in the Grave

Victor decides that Patrick's cherry tree is the cause of his garden being dry and enlists a Neanderthal gardener to cultivate the stray roots. But only when it's too late does he learn that the pit could have a secondary use.

Margaret collapses from nervous exhaustion, but after a few days of Victor's loving care decides to go back to work in order to get some peace and quiet. Andrea Temple visits Margaret with a baby that has a mysterious fondness for garden gnomes.

A day on the river leads to complications for the Meldrews.

The Meldrews return home from a disastrous holiday only to face another series of disasters which almost sends Margaret over the edge. She is surprised to find another woman in her bed when she returns. And so is Victor!

Victor is called up for jury service and ends up as the man on trial.

The Meldrews invite Patrick and Pippa round for a friendly meal, but Patrick is distinctly worried about what horrors might befall them. Luckily they escape the threat of Victor's deadly curry when it is accidentally drunk by the window cleaner.
