Synopsis
Richard Wilson plays Victor Meldrew, a irascible senior citizen who always provokes people into taking extreme action against him. His neighbour - Angus Deayton (Have I Got News For You, KYTV) - wages unofficial war against him, while long-suffering wives (Annette Crosbie and Janine Duvitski) look on askance. Winner of 11 awards including three BAFTAs. This DVD features all six episodes from the fifth series.
A sublime series

This is one of the best series of One Foot In The Grave, containing the episodes: The Man Who Blew Away, Only A Story, The Affair of the Hollow Lady, Hole In The Sky; and two of my all-time favourite episodes: Rearranging the Dust and The Exterminating Angel! This 2-disc DVD set also includes the brilliant 1995 Xmas special, Wisdom of the Witch, as well as commentary on the episode The Man Who Blew Away from writer David Renwick and star Richard Wilson. One of the best purchases I've made in months!

FIVE DOWN - ONE TO GO?
Review date: 2006-08-22 Rating: 10 out of 10
Another superb edition to what is for me British sitcom at it's very best.It seems the BBC have woken up to the fact that they have for too long held off releasing this and other classics such as Steptoe & Son.Of particular merit amongst the gems on offer here is "The Man Who Blew Away" which nearly twelve years later still has me hopelessly howling with laughter . Incisive and intelligent humour laced with pathos at times.Now we'll hopefully get the sixth and final season replete with the two remaining Xmas specials from '96 and '97
