One Foot in the Podcast - One Foot in the Grave

Here's a bonus extra from Rach and her pops, Tim, where they head-off for a quick quiz and take it in turns to reveal their ultimate One Foot themed experience if stranded on a desert island.

A treat for Simon, Darren and I, as part of our adventure in and around Christchurch and Bournemouth. We spoke with Shaun, who lives at Victor Meldrew's home, as well as Gill & Ted, occupying Mr Swainey's address. This was a treat and a privilage to speak to down-to-earth people who probably have no idea how awesome it is, to be residing at such famous houses in the British comedy world. Thank...

Previous guests of the pod who I've become good friends with in the last 18 months, Simon and Darren (Monday Morning Will be Fine/The Worst Horror of All and Dreamland/One Foot in the Algarve respectively) joined me as we toured some of the filming locations. We visited Shawford Station, which is where our beloved Victor departed. We also visited Tresillian Way and Norfolk Royale Hotel. There were...

Welcome to a double-whammy of an episode. Could have released this in two parts, but thought bugger it - I'll gift you one last monster of a show talking about the comic relief short & a run down of Darren, Simon and I discussing our individual top 5 moments for two categories: Funny moments and Surreal/Sad moments. Talking of surreal and sad - we loved the twist at the end of Visiting Uncle D...

Dear Listeners, The guest I have on is my final gift to you (for now) who helps me round-off this phenomenally written and produced TV series. Victor Meldrew 'Old Vic' - is taken from us, all too soon. His  ultimate demise becomes a reality no thanks to a failed school reunion  that never was and a hit-and-run driver. The story is unfolded through Margaret's storytelling. Be prepared to...

Here's to the penultimate episode of One Foot in the Grave - sad, sad times ahead. JD Collins joins me - host and producer of 'Don't Slam Your Podcast!' (a 2Point4 Children Podcast). Arguably one of the most poignant and thought-provoking scenes in the entire show, sees Mr Swainey reflect on his life to Margaret. The Trench's for once experience some absurdity at their own home and a mix-up with a...

The final real-time episode. Another one-scene classic and a quirky cameo from the late, great, Roy Hudd as the hapless Mr. Smedley. In times like this, super fans like David Friend are urgently required. This chap really helped to breakdown this episode and as ever, was exceptional with conversation and input. So, a quick refresher ahead of listening to the pod: The Meldrews, on the hottest night...

My cousin and good friend, Chris, joins me this week. It's an emotional farewell for us One Foot fans, as it sees the last of dear Mrs Jean Warboys. She of course goes out with a bang (almost) and isn't seen again on our screens in the Meldrew universe. Sad, sad times. The Meldrews hire a cleaner, one that can't seem to keep her kit on, whilst Enrico the Italian seeks the help of Victor, which wil...

Here we are, with arguably the darkest episode for some time. It seems Victor’s imminent demise is throwing-up clues as to how he may end up with both feet in the grave. A potential Ronnie and Mildred visit sends shivers down the spines of Victor and Margaret. Cousin Wilf and Mrs. Warboys pay a visit, which only goes to serve-up a foray of unwanted stress for Margaret. The tale of this terror is r...

My Godddd! Series 6! Opening-up the beginning of the end, is Sarah, to bring you quite a long but thought-provoking and enjoyable chat to discuss everything that's happening to Victor, Margaret, Patrick and Pippa - now that it is the year 2000. Not much has changed, whereby strained relations are all-to-see. A Chinese brothel, a marital affair, a nervous breakdown and some alleged art work sprayed...

Bringing the curtain down on One Foot in the Podcast before series 6 is released, is the second part of David Renwick's interview with me. It feels amazing to be conversing with a real-life genius.  Enjoy! 

All I will say is, this is the cherry, on the icing, on the cake. I always promise you Bank Holiday specials and here we are with another. David bleedin' Renwick? Gracing One Foot in the Podcast? Can you believe that? Well, I didn't think I would ever be so fortunate to have this show creating, freak of nature, on the little podcast.  David - THANK YOU!  I've nothing else to say - please...

Bloody Ronnie wanted a chat didn't he! I had a full code red in place - don't answer the Zoom call!  Gordon Peters, what a gentleman. I loved every minute of speaking to Gordon about his time on One Foot. A huge thank you to him and especially to Andrew Stowe who put me in touch with him. You really are a star for downloading and listening - I don't ask for much in life but I do politely requ...

Richard Wilson is back! He answered your questions and as ever, goes above and beyond. A huge thanks to Richard. Please review this episode - I'll let Richard know of your thoughts!

The beautiful and sweetness of Doreen Mantle graces your lucky pair of ears. Doreen gave up her time to talk to me about all things Mrs. Warboys and One Foot in the Grave. We love her - and she was an amazing guest to have on - I am lucky and she was fantastic. Please leave a review and do the Mrs Warboys thing and tell everyone you know about this episode!

Things progress sourley for the Meldrews, which has earie consequences and very dark moments for Victor. What will come of the haunted caravan? And will the police ever track down Mrs Khan's kidknapper? Enjoy the final Christmas special review from Ben and I. You really are a star for downloading and listening - I don't ask for   much in life but I do politely request a review and rating...

This is it – the last ever One Foot special to review. Sad and heartfelt times for me – and particularly for an episode that offers so much more than a regular sitcom. The Meldrew’s relationship is put to the test when there’s pent-up anger felt from Margaret over Victor’s misdemeanours, paranoias and the purchase of a second-hand allegedly haunted caravan. Derek and Betty move-in to the Trench’s...

WHAT....IN.....THE......NAME......OF.......PODCASTING.......HELL? (This is NOT a prank this time round - we've come along way since April 1st. I had no idea I would be speaking to the legend that is Richard Wilson at the time) I felt it was appt to upload this episode on a bank holiday - after all, aren't we all beasts in a cage right now? Furthermore, it is well documented that The Beast in the C...

Welcome back! Here is part 2 of Starbound. Guest Matt and I delve into further weirdness in the Meldrew's lives. Will Patrick's contract be extended or is Victor about to bugger this up?  You really are a star for downloading and listening - I don't ask for  much in life but I do politely request a review and rating via   whichever form of platform you use to listen to your pod...

Well, this is a weird one - it seems that residents of Riverbank are behaving with more peculiarity than is normal - in particular, Victor. There's talk of alien abduction, class-A drugs, kidnapping and.....taxidermy.  I'm joined by a returning guest in Matt, who does a sound job in breaking-down this beastly episode. You really are a star for downloading and listening - I don't ask for &nbsp...

Welcome back to part 2 - much of the synopsis is explained in the first part, but Tyler returns and helps me to finish off this beast of a special. Enjoy a welcome yet rare occurance of Patrick & Victor getting along. Albeit, briefly.  Thank you for listening - get in touch! I'd love to hear from you. You really are a star for downloading and listening - I don't ask for  much in life...

Welcome back to One Foot in the Podcast for this two parter. It truly had to be split in half (almost) otherwise you'd never forgive me. I'm joined by Tyler who helps me to revel in this comedy Christmas feast of a special. This is peak One Foot darkness and surrealism in nature. The Trench's have at last completed the selling of their house and are moving on. Patrick is caught-up in his secretary...

Well can you believe that? ! One Foot in the Pod is delighted to welcome another guest associated with this great sitcom. Richard Drew was Art Director for series 4 of One Foot in the Grave. He's well-respected in his field of work and has helped to create sets of shows for the likes of After Life, The Inbetweeners, Birds of a Feather, Man Down and Alan Partridge - let alone working on a host of w...

*PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW YOU WONDERFUL MOANERS!* My Godddddd! The final episode of series 5. I can't quite believe it. I'm joined by Chris this week.

Hello pranksters! This week, I'm joined by the return of Sheffield's steele, Simon. Simon was a joy to talk with whilst relentlessly pulling-apart this episode. Much to discuss including but not limited to: -Victor has taken up not one, but two hobbies -Peace talks between Patrick and Pippa don't go to plan -The introduction of the McKendrick twins -Margaret's irritation of Victor's hobbies -Patri...
