One Foot In The Grave - The Radio Episodes

Four full-cast radio episodes based on the hit series, adapted by David Renwick from his TV scripts.

Having been made redundant from his job by an electronic box, crabby Victor Meldrew is faced with the prospect of finding his feet in an increasingly frustrating world. In these four episodes - Alive And Buried, Timeless Time, In Luton Airport No-one Can Hear You Scream and The Beast In The Cage - things hilariously go from bad to worse for Victor and his long-suffering wife, Margaret.

Written by Renwick and starring Richard Wilson as Victor and Annette Crosbie as Margaret, these highly entertaining BBC Radio 2 adaptations (the complete series, aired in 1995) also feature a supporting cast including Doreen Mantle, Owen Brenman, Sally Grace, Jeffrey Holland, Jon Glover and Michael Fenton Stevens.

Presented in full-colour inner bags depicting the everyday trappings of Victor's life, two burgundy 140g vinyl LPs are housed in an illustrated wide-spine outer sleeve - complete with coffee-spilled rear. You simply won't believe it!
