Description
When he's forced to take early retirement, Victor suddenly has plenty of time on his hands to rage against the petty annoyances of life. But there’s one thing to remember in the Meldrew household – whatever can go wrong always does and it usually spells disaster for Victor…
Alive and Buried: The audacity of it! To be replaced after 26 years
loyal service by a box and a recorded message! Victor Meldrew, ex-security guard
for Mycroft, Watts and Associates is outraged. Still, at least he'll be free to
do as he pleases - sort out the car, do the shopping, compile The Observer Book
of Crap in Your Front Garden. Then, to top it all, the man from the Outward
Bound Scheme for the Elderly calls...
The Big Sleep: What with the neighbours' noisy party, more mess in his
garden and a new outbreak of Jehova's witnesses in the area, Victor's cheesed
off. He definitely needs something positive with which to occupy his time.
Something like exercise classes for the elderly...
The Valley of Fear: Having been attacked by soccer hooligans while
photographing the sunset in Bluebell Wood, Victor's had a spell in casualty. Now
is the time for positive action and so he calls a special meeting of the
residents and arms himself with a starting pistol. Neighbour Jean follows suit,
with a grenade...
I'll Retire to Bedlam: What a week it's been for Victor! He's been
trapped in his garden shed by a swarm of 'killer' bees, stuck in the opticians
for the whole day with his eyes shut and now the greatest horror of all awaits
him: a day spent babysitting Iris' children...
The Eternal Quadrangle: Margaret has found an empty packet of “You-Know-Whats”
in Victor's pocket and she's giving him the cold shoulder, convinced that he's
having an affair with Doreen, his life class' nude model. Trouble is, Victor
doesn't know what Margaret knows about the “You-Know-Whats” and he's just
about to bare his all to Doreen...
The Return of the Speckled Band: The annual Meldrew holiday is fast
approaching and Victor is terrified of flying. After all, there's no space for
him to lie flat on his back in the toilet. But the way to Athens could prove
slippery as the reptiles invade Meldrew's suburbia...
