Is it a personality defect, bad karma or sheer rotten luck that sets Victor Meldrew apart from the human race? Anything that can go wrong - and quite a few things you wouldn't think possible - invariably befall our hero. Not that he accepts each setback phlegmatically...
"I'm sorry, what language are you talking in now? It appears to be bollocks."
The Pit And The Pendulum:
Victor decides that Patrick's cherry tree is the cause of his garden being dry and enlists a Neanderthal gardener to cultivate the stray roots.
Descent Into The Maelstrom:
Margaret collapses from nervous exhaustion, but after a few days of Victor's loving care decides to go back to work to get some peace and quiet.
Hearts Of Darkness:
On a trip into the countryside, Victor stumbles upon a home for the elderly where the residents are being abused by the staff and hatches a plot for their liberation.
Warm Champagne:
Margaret has arranged to meet up with Ben, an acquaintance she made on holiday. She is surprised to find another woman in her bed when she returns. And so is Victor!
The Trial:
Victor spends a day at home whilst on-call for jury service. He contemplates his various ailments, gets a letter from a disgruntled Jehovah's Witness and struggles to save himself from a blow-by-blow account of Mrs Warboys' holiday.
Secret Of The Seven Sorcerers:
The Meldrews invite Patrick and Pippa around for a friendly meal, but Patrick is distinctly worried about what horrors might befall them.
