One Foot in the Grave: Rearranging the Dust (1995)
Season 5, Episode 4
7/10
Victor has zero patience.
24 December 2019
Victor and Margaret are sat waiting in a Solicitor's office, Margaret waits patiently, Victor has zero patience, and finds all and sundry frustrating.

It is almost unfair to class this my least favourite episode of One foot in the Grave, but that it is, nog because it's bad, because it isn't, it's still very good, but I find this one an incredibly frustrating watch. It feels somewhat similar to the episode The Trial from the previous season, but Margaret is on hand to witness all of Victor's clowning around.

Victor was never a fool, but here he is verging on a tribute to Frank Spencer, he's excellent, but perhaps a little over the top.

Good, solid observational humour, but you need to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate this one.

Points for featuring Anthony Sher as Mr Prothetoe, although watching him fuss and fidget is hard work.
