One Foot special gets deluxe HD screening
One Foot In The Algarve, the fan-favourite 1993 Christmas special of One Foot In The Grave, is to be screened in aid of Children in Need.
The special event will take place on the evening of Friday 4th November at the Regent Cinema in Christchurch, the area in which much of the series' regular location filming took place.
Aired at the end of David Renwick's hit sitcom's fourth series, One Foot In The Algarve sees Victor, Margaret and Mrs Warboys embark on a typically disastrous holiday in Portugal, where they become unknowingly embroiled in a tabloid plot headed by paparazzo Peter Cook.
Arranged by local radio station BBC Radio Solent, the episode has now been remastered in high definition from the original 16mm camera negatives on which it was filmed. Tickets are free but donations in aid of the Children in Need annual fundraising campaign are being invited.

One Foot In The Grave - Series 1-6 Plus Christmas Specials
Victor Meldrew in all his grumpy glory!
This is the complete collection of the long-running BBC1 sitcom One Foot In The Grave.
Who would have thought retirement could be so chaotic? Certainly not querulous Victor Meldrew, one of tree-lined suburbia's perennial complainers, or his long suffering wife Margaret. 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 often does and it usually spells disaster for Victor...
