One Foot In The Grave

The Meldrews return from a disastrous Greek holiday to discover that their home has burnt down. Six months and a pile of insurance headaches later, they are ensconced in their new abode and decide to throw a house-warming party. What could possibly go wrong?

Victor and Margaret return from their unfortunate holiday (whereupon they found the snake from the end of Series 1 dead in their suitcase) to hear that their house has been demolished. First a fire struck - with their neighbour unable to call the fire brigade, instead summoning the services of a singing telegram agency - and then a freak hurricane, leaving the remnants of the property to be razed to the ground.

After six months and endless arguments with the insurance company, the Meldrews are finally able to move in to a new home. They attempt to throw a housewarming party and invite all of their friends, but confusion is never far from Victor and they end up having three different parties in three different houses!
