This show frequently has very sad moments and it brings home the realization that Victor and Margaret are what we have to look forward to. That I am just too long in the tooth. But I'm not yet quite gone to seed. Victor Meldrew is in fact suffering from Spodes syndrome, a fatal disease that normally only attacks potatoes. The telephone- an endless source of vexation.
Victor objects to a note from the dry cleaners.
Watching endless home videos at Margaret's god daughter's. This visit leads to a rather nasty experience in turtle sitting. On the train for a stay at Bleak House with April and Vince. Stuck with a problem. Luton Airport Mrs. Warboys breaking the news that the Meldrew's house has burned, been ravaged by a hurricane and then demolished while they were in Greece.
