message: Not actually true, is it? Victor, by and large, doesn't create the problems, he just reacts to them, sometimes (but by no means always) making them worse - but thinking he "invariably" or even usually creates them is a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of the show's premise. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 17:43, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been rewatching this over the last few weeks and the OP may have a point. Many of the incidents and storylines are actually caused by Victor, often unwittingly. Most examples of other people behaving badly towards him are due to how he has behaved or spoken to them, and how they get retribution against him.
 Misunderstandings are often caused by either Victor or Margaret making a small error (ordering a toy car instead of a taxi, mistaking the expensive wine bottle for their own gift, being followed by Donkeys because of the poor choice in aftershave to name but a few examples).
What is in no doubt is the brilliance of the writing! 90.249.136.231 (talk) 06:52, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

message: In casting light on some of the darker undertones within this show, can the following be changed, from: 
'Due to the series' popularity, people who constantly complain and are irritated by minor things are often compared to Victor Meldrew by the British media", to read: 
'Due to the series' popularity and undertones of ageism, older people that complain - and that have every right to do so - are often sidelined by being compared to Victor Meldrew'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.147.153.126 (talk) 18:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
