What I will always love about this series is that we initially see Victor as a miserable old man (which is partly true), but as the series went on you realise that he is actually a sympathetic character, reacting to unfairness (real and/or percieved) in the world. This moment where he sets down that snobby bastard is particularly memorable for me.
"Do forgive me not getting the fur coat out , of course if you hadn't chopped off it's legs it could have climbed out on it's own" 😂😂😂😂😂 Absolutely brilliant
It’s actually quite poignant at one stage. Also, that guy talks about respect. Well, maybe he should learn that you show respect to others if you want to be respected. As well as learning how to use a fucking door handle.
The old man across the road is an amputee but still manages to get out of his car unaided, yet that pair of insufferable snobs, while being perfectly capable of opening a car door, themselves, expect other people to do it for them, all whilst looking and talking down to them and treating them like second class citizens.
As someone who has experience working in a 5 star hotel, these rude guests exist, and the staff, although polite and respectful to their faces, will pass comment behind closed doors, believe me.
Everyone loves Only Fools And Horses, revered, rightly so, as top-notch british comedy. I'd argue that One Foot In The Grave is equally as good. Victor is a curmudgeonly old bastard, yet despite his obvious flaws, you can't help but like him. Dead mans shoes had me crying with laughter 😂
The many times I wanted to do this working in the industry, wish I had his nerve. Only did it once and got the sack while smiling all the time, the worm turned hahaha!
I can't say I blame the old guy. Victor maybe cantankerous, but he's smart and unafraid to stand up to people who are rude to him i.e. that snob and his wife.
Victor was considered a old moan to casual viewers but to avid viewers they knew where he was coming from considering he was dealing with a lot of nut jobs.
As I get older, I start to understand why Victor Meldrew behaves the way he does. If I had to deal with such jumped up, smug and arrogant people in person, I would feel like doing the same as Victor.
You have access to the internet and a device for going online. I'll bet you also have food in your tummy and a roof overhead. Globally you're in the top 1% when it comes to wealth. What needs to be abolished is global injustice and snobby attitudes.
Ha, ha! You can always spot a broke man. He always points out how expensive his stuff is and covets ( not sure of spelling) it. A wealthy man always points out the bargains he got and wants everyone to share it and his excitement. Granted those bargains can still cost more then what most of us earn in a year.

Same here, no jobs worth putting up with people like that

He's a bit of an unsuccessful Larry David

Victor proved it's not always the job that's bad it's the people you deal with that makes it bad.

GO VICTOR!!!!!!
The older I get, the more I feel like Victor
Same here 😆
100% agreed...Most people are annoying 😂😂
Me too.
I’m 33.

You'll get that everywhere
Nothing worse than snobs and people who think they're better than other people.

“If there’s one thing I can’t stand is snobbishness. People who try to act superior make it so hard for those of us who really are”.

One word: satisfying.
Victor is the man,ain't no doubt about that😂😂😂😂.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT😂😂😂😂
Best scene ever
I am with Victor.....
I love Victor. He would be my soul mate, if he was a real person.
HAHAHAHA OMG. i love the actor! he was also in Merlin as gaius! HAHAHA
They really are odious bastards Im so glad Victor calls them out😂❤😂
The many times I wanted to do this working in the industry, wish I had his nerve. Only did it once and got the sack while smiling all the time, the worm turned hahaha!
Bloody brilliant 😆🤣
Classic comedy! 😂😂😂
2:04 Wow that guy actually bent the metal of the drain cover he must have really wanted his wig back.
Victor didn't know he was dealing with a man with inhuman strength.
I can't say I blame the old guy.
Victor maybe cantankerous, but he's smart and unafraid to stand up to people who are rude to him i.e. that snob and his wife.
This is genius!
My fav show. One of my fav scenes too.
Now he knows how basil Fawlty feels and what he has to deal with every day lol
I love Victor and Basil,we really needed more than two seasons of Basil though,he was really funny😂😂😂😂
The script writing is just brilliant. So well thought out
Well done Victor there so many snobs
Victor was considered a old moan to casual viewers but to avid viewers they knew where he was coming from considering he was dealing with a lot of nut jobs.
Looooooved this!!💖
Beautiful 😄😅😂👏👏👏👏
This is only the second part. The first one showed two women chatting and Victor opening and closing the door thinking the woman was going in.
Nice to see Richard Wilson’s Labour Support is shown in sketches.
As I get older, I start to understand why Victor Meldrew behaves the way he does. If I had to deal with such jumped up, smug and arrogant people in person, I would feel like doing the same as Victor.
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌
He put them in their place.
notice the snob says victor after he takes his wig off
Norfolk Royale Hotel
And this is precisely why capitalism _and_ wealth inequality need to be abolished.
More like people with godawful manners must be abolished. And horrible bosses.

Poignant scene, Victor is an all-timer (and an old-timer)
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!!!
