cm-happy Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Have seen several referenceS on TV to Victor Meldrew. Did not have a clue! did Google search. Character on "one foot in the Grave" BBC sitcom. Grumpy old man?? A loser? Sounds like it may be amusing to see. Is available on DVD? Perhaps an Archy Bunker type character from "All In Ther Family" Anyway. IF AVAILABLE IS IT IN ENGLISH? "I DON'T BELEIVE IT"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkman Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Search "One foot in the grave" on Youtube for some samples, and full episodes can be torrent downloaded I have not seen it available in Thailand (others may point you at where) but I suspect that, unlike Mr Bean the humour does not travel too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekka007 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) If you are in BKK - Food by phone has it in their dvd collection for delivery. However if you order it from there, Thai Visa's own resident Victor Meldrew will not be happy because that is one of his many many gripes.

jayenram Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I have downloaded the first 4 Series (24 Episodes) and burnt them to CD. Brilliant! PS: I have no qualms regarding downloading BBC TV series which were made during the time I was paying for a TV licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll get TV's own Victor going somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nidge Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I heard on another thread that there is a stalker who likes melons, could this be Bendix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) You must stop following me around on threads I post on Bendix.At first your obsession with me was flattering but now you've turned the corner into full on stalker. Creepy. Tis true. I do like to read what you're posting Victor. It's similar to one's fascination with watching the aftermath of a car crash - you know you shouldnt look, but it's just so fascinating you can't avert your gaze. I'm intrigued by you. I truly am. At first I thought you were a caricature, but now I realise you really are this miserable generally :-) You are the antithesis of me.

lungbing Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I used to know a former Lord Mayor of the city I came from in England, and she had met Richard Wilson, the actor who plays Victor Meldrew, and she said that when he came to her city when she was Lord Mayor, you couldn't have wished to meet a nicer man. He stayed well over the time he had been booked for and spent ages chatting to people in the local hospital. This is only third-hand hearsay of course, but it goes to show you can't judge the actor by the character they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
