One Foot In The Grave

Victor and Margaret battle to rid their home of an evil curse. Victor's neighbours put their house up for sale - but there are very few takers. Victor becomes convinced that a TV aerial is laughing at him.

Victor is making a teddy-bear out of lots of bits of old teddy-bears, but Margaret wishes he didn't as it looks very grotesque - almost a Franken-teddy! Patrick and Pippa think he's doing strange things to these old teddy-bears (like giving one a Caesarean section) when they look out of the window to see him doing his unique brand of DIY! This worries them because they're trying to sell the house to get away from Victor and fear a bad impression may be created to those coming to view the house!

Unfortunately the first buyers' child finds the Franken-teddy and screams hysterically; the second buyers turn up as Victor shouts abuse out of his bedroom window. Nick brings Victor and Margaret a cursed scorpion from his holiday, and it works outstandingly well. A model minicab is delivered when Victor books a taxi; there's a leak in the bedroom ceiling; the thieves from Episode 3:1 phone back asking how to work the stolen television; Victor wins the scorpion when he gives it to a raffle, and a cow rather than the requested cot is delivered to him, which crashes through into Patrick and Pippa's lounge as the third buyers are looking around!
