About
"Grumpy-old-man comedy that turns quietly devastating"
A British sitcom about Victor Meldrew, forced into early retirement and increasingly baffled by the petty absurdities of modern life, and his exasperated wife Margaret who endures his rants. It starts as farce about a grumpy old man shouting at the world, then slowly reveals itself as something darker and sadder underneath the gags. The comedy is bleak, precise, and often surreal, with elaborate misfortune set-pieces, but real melancholy about ageing, loneliness, and mortality runs through it. Richard Wilson's performance anchors the whole thing.
the way absurdist slapstick curdles into genuine sadness about ageing and isolation.
you want a cosy, gentle sitcom without any real bleakness underneath.
