One Foot in the Podcast - One Foot in the Grave

Hello and welcome to another fantastic episode of Renwick's one-scene episodes. I'm joined by Nicky, who makes her 3rd appearance on the pod. Thank you to Nicky!  In store for the Meldrews this week: -The Meldrew's solicitor is due to assist with their will, but keeps them hanging in the waiting room -Shenanigans include Victor picking a fight with a member of the public which results in an i...

WHAT IN THE NAME OF BLOODY HELL? You maybe wondering why I've uploaded a second time today? Well, I had infact uploaded next week's file under the same name - sorry about that!  Matt had kindly joined me once again to discuss the shenanigans of the Meldrews - this week, the late, great Barbara Windsor guest stars as the scheming Millicent. What's in store? Victor is at war with local locksmit...

Hello and thank you for downloading once again - I'm joined by Glenn from down-under (Tasmania) who stayed-up late to record with me. Gawd bless ya, Glenn! This week, we're treated to a Mrs. Warboys and partially Mr. Swainey comedy infused episode. What's in store? -Jean's flat is waterlogged, so is here to stay at the Meldrew's -Jean's accompanied by her pet cockatiel Nicky - which will cause no...

What in the name of merry Christmas?! I suppose this could be counted as a Christmas review of the 1994 Christmas special, which was the airing of the opening to series 5. I'm joined by host of Monkeys and Dogging podcast - John Lush. John joins me for this festive edition of the pod, as ever, to pull apart the entire episode geniuses of Renwick's masterpiece. What is in merrily store for father V...

Bem vindo de volta to One Foot in the Podcast!  Thanks for sticking with Darren and I, as we continue to breakdown this hilarious special from Christmas 1993. What's in store for part 2? -Hugo goes missing -The Meldrews have the traumatic task of identifying a corpse believed to be Mrs. Warboys -Martin Trout experiences injury after injury in the quest to retrieve his roll of film -There are...

WHAT IN THE NAME OF PORTUGAL?! Olá e bem-vindo to One Foot in the Podcast Christmas special - part 1 of 2. Algarve episode has to be one of my favourite One Foot specials. I'm joined by the very loyal Darren for this one. So much to discuss, that this pod will be published as two episodes. One Foot in the Algarve was well received by comedy fans. It has to be one of the more successful British sit...

WHAT IN THE NAME OF BLOODY HELL?! One Foot in the Podcast is proud to announce its first guest, who has starred in many of our favourite British comedies and more importantly, One Foot in the Grave, in Michael Fenton Stevens. Michael starred as Pippa's brother Geoffrey Croker in Series 5 episode 'Hole in the Sky'. His character had misled us very briefly into thinking he was a secret lover of Pipp...

Hello and welcome back to One Foot in the Podcast - thank you for downloading. This week, I discuss Victor in the Bath, the Comic Relief special broadcast in March 1993.  A very short episode for the biennial Comic Relief event sees Victor's musings, whilst bathing with an amusing answer machine message meant for a dentist's victim. Please leave me a review and help spread One Foot in the Pod...

Well would you look at that?? Series 4 has come and gone – just like that. A huge thank you, as ever, for your continued loyalty.  Please consider reviewing the podcast if you haven’t already. It really, really helps! A bit of a bizarre finale, which is a completely different episode to the previous – lots going on this week: -Victor re-explores his conjuring tricks, which comes with a few he...

Highly regarded as one of the most creative and professionally written/acted performances by Renwick and Wilson. The one-man show has us in stitches. Somehow, without barely a plot, a genius minute by minute account of Victor's boredom shines through, as he awaits his call-up for jury duty. Ben is back to discuss this beastly episode with me - what a gem he is. Please consider reviewing the podcas...

4.2.9.1!  This week, I'm joined by the lovely Lucy to discuss Warm Champagne. The Meldrews return from a sunny break-away and it's fair to say both are not pleased to be back. Victor's share of Margaret's love looks to have diminished and shed towards some sort of a holiday romance in Ben. A comedy of errors sees Victor in bed with another woman and of course, there's war with half of Riverba...

Welcome to this emotional rollercoaster of an episode. This week, I'm joined by David Friend. A literal 50-50 mix of comedy and horror this week - regarded as one of the greatest episodes of One Foot that Renwick produced. Hopefully, David and I do it some justice in this extra-long podcast show. The Meldrews, Mrs. Warboys and Mr. Swainey venture out into the Norfolk countryside. Oh joy! Bound to...

This week, I'm joined by guest, Rich Taylor. Look out for him in  2021's Britain's Got Talent as he'll be looking to make audiences and  those berks who call themselves judges laugh! It's fair to say that Victor experiences an overload of emotions this  week - as well as Margaret. One thing is for sure, Victor is a man of  principle and morals as we'll be discussing. Plenty of...

WHAT IN THE NAME OF BLOODY HELL?! Here we are, series 4 - already! I'm joined by One Foot in the Podcast's first female guest - it's the lovely Nicky! The show has evolved greatly and things are about to get more and more surreal for the Meldrews this series. What's in store this week? Vic hires a larger than life      gardener to rectify Patrick and Pippa's wondering cher...

Hello to you all! Especially those about to listen to this episode whilst sat in some form of traffic jam. Welcome to episode 4 - The Beast in the Cage. I'm joined by regular guest, Ben this week. Thank goodness he did, as this is a one scene beauty of a show. I needed all the help I could get to talk my way through this classic. As this is published - it is my birthday. I wonder if anybody reads...

Thank you for downloading! One Foot in the Podcast is going through a transitional period with all things microphones. I was using a new mic during the recording, which picked up some background knocking - I didn't hear it at the time! Hopefully you, the listener, will be a little hard of hearing (Like Alfred Meldrew) and it therefore won't bother you. On the other hand, I think my audio picked up...

*Please leave me a review! It'll help sitcom podcast searchers to discover One Foot in the Podcast!* What a surreal and sombre episode we're faced with this week. Thank you for downloading One Foot in the Podcast where I'm joined by superfan, Darren. What's on the cards?  -Mrs. Warboys in full gossip mode -A rift between Victor and Margaret - surely not over Noel Edmonds and chimpanzees? -Som...

Thank you to all of you who have taken the time to feedback and review the show - a special mention to Peter, who is voluntarily promoti...

Back again with another Christmas special. Some sources say this counts as series 2, others say the beginning of series 3. I am joined once again by super fan Ben, to talk through the bizarre goings on of Victor Meldrew, starring theme tune creator Eric Idle. Victor yet again attracts trouble, but not in the form of human contact. He is however at war with neighbour, Patrick. A hilarious mix-up in...

This truly is the finale of series 2 - the first Christmas special Renwick produced. I am joined by super knowledgeable fan, Ben, who helps to dissect and observe this episode. Having somebody to peel apart this special has meant that, along with the fact this is a feature-length Christmas special, this podcast episode is unusually long! So, you better sit-back, pour a glass of Chateau Cheverny Me...

As a special round-up to the end of series 2, I invite my first guest onto the show - where Victor has Alfred Meldrew for a brother, I have James as mine. We do however get on a little more!  James shares his thoughts on this great sitcom and what brought him closer to it. Plus a summary of his thoughts to 'Timeless Time'. Get in touch for a chinwag on all things One Foot in the Grave, it'd be a p...

As series 2 draws to a close, we are treated to a minute by minute real-time look at Victor and Margaret's night-time shenanigans. From hilarities and misdemeanours relating to the animal kingdom, mysterious packets of bisto in the bathroom cabinet, to a quite solemn and thought-provoking revelation into the Meldrew's backstory.
