Question Time special: When Victor got it wrong (a debate)
Was Victor Meldrew completely faultless in life? Could he have executed things differently when going full throttle in his pursuit to fight against the crappy things faced in society?
My good mate, Dan 'the beefcake' Heath (nickname not verified) debated with me on as many Victor scenarios as we could think of.

Director/Producer: Susie Belbin
One of the best conversations I've had on the podcast.
Susie Belbin was a producer/director for a whole host of shows, including:
One Foot in the Grave (S1-S5)
Jonathan Creek
Are you being Served?
Bread
Hi-de-Hi!
'Allo! 'Allo!
It Ain't Half Hot Mum
Only Fools and Horses (S4)
She also worked with Morecambe and Wise.
Her CV is impressive and her experience, knowledge and pioneering w
The Manchester collective
Hallo!
All 3 of my guests are from the Manchester area. We met up a few weeks ago for lunch and a One Foot chinwag. Consider this pod a debrief of that.
It's a longy - so, plan that long distance travel or dog walk well.
Richard Webber - The Pod legend!
Remember all those times I and other listeners would reference "the Webber book" which became my trusted bible? Well, a great coup was had by the pod with having the man himself on for a chinwag about his marvellous book 'The Complete One Foot in the Grave'.
The Easter Special
It's Easter - why not?
Joining me is friend and fellow podder, Si Smith of the Men Behaving Badly podcast 'Don't Forget Your Goodbye Gherkins' & co-host of The 3 Comidos.
A couple of quizzes, a 'where are they now' chat and a discussion on who we'd cast in One Foot in the Grave if it were to make a return.
Thanks for downloading.
Only Fools convention with Sir David Jason - my thoughts (tiny bit of One Foot speak)
I attended the Only Fools and Horses convention and met the legend that is Sir David Jason. At long last!
I speak my thoughts on the drive home.
The Wisdom of the absolute b**ch - A Christmas revist
One Foot in the Podcast outro music creator, Anthony Satterthwaite chinwags with me about 'Wisdom of the Witch' - which the alternative title given would suggest we get quite iritated with the person responsible for Victor nearly being killed. I mean, he is eventually killed but had Renwick had other ideas, we'd have been starved of 2 more specials and a final series.
Merry Christmas.
**Jonathan Kydd** - A.K.A Chippy Joe / Market Stall Geezer
He was supposed to turn up on the pod for the usual Sunday slot, but alas, he arrived Wednesday!
So, in the spirit of Chippy Joe, this pod is being released on a Wednesday.
Jonathan Kydd was so easy to natter with and a man of many talents.
Thank you for downloading.

An unplanned ramble (part 1 of 2)
Hello and welcome.
Pod regulars, Si and Dazza join me to quite simply, keep me company. It's just us talking. Mainly about comedy.
I hope it inspires....someone? It won't, but we had great fun.
Doreen Mantle - A eulogy and farewell
Doreen Mantle, aged 97, has sadly passed away as announced today by her agent.
Si, Darren and I pay tribute to one of the comedy greats in TV sitcom history.
We loved Mrs. Warboys, but she will live on in the One Foot in the Grave universe forever more.
A live pod opposite Victor's house
This has got to be a first, but I recorded and uploaded a podcast outside of Victor Meldrew's house. Just a short and sweet live transmission of my thoughts on the show whilst I holiday in the Poole area.
Fun & Games with Christchurch resident Jen!
I'm podding with Jen, a resident in the Christchurch area. Which was the only excuse I needed to do some podding once again.

A Creek David Renwick Special - Part 1 (**100th episode spectacular!**)
Hello! David Renwick makes his fourth appearance on the podcast (not that I'm counting), to talk about for the most part, Jonathan Creek.
Jonathan Creek remains one of the, if not the greatest mystery drama comedy out there, in my opinion. It stands the test of time. Si and I throw several questions David's way (poor man) and the three of us had fun discussing this other masterpiece of David's.
One Creek in the Foot - The Scented Room
Back with a sequel to the "one-off" Creek discussion from the other week.

Welcome back to part 2 (of 2), closing the final couple of chapters of David Renwick's 'One Foot in the Grave and Counting'.
Social experiment - if you are one of the probable few who reads the gubbins in this podcast upload, get in touch and let me know that you read this!
And then introduce yourself!
One Foot in the Grave and Counting - A review (Part 1)
I finally got round to reading David Renwick's 'One Foot in the Grave and Counting' novel released October 2021. I for one was grateful to have some new
material to review, albeit there being some very familiar storylines, there was plenty to sink my teeth into given the subtleties in differences between
the TV series and this book. Plus, some organic One Foot material!
You know the drill - get in
One Foot in the Creek - A natter with an old mate
Welcome!
This could be the dawn of a new era in One Foot in the Podcast land - in the respect that perhaps I'll be doing more of a diverse route into discussing some of Britain's finest TV shows? Or perhaps not. I've always wanted to go down the Jonathan Creek rabbit hole and particularly withmy old school mate, Si Marsh. He is very much the Creek to my Meldrew. He is a Creek fanatic

One Foot in the Rewatch - S2E3: Dramatic Fever with Richard Latto
Hello!
This week, it's a bit of an alternative take on all things reviews. Richard and I do discuss Dramatic Fever, but it's not picked through like a fine-tooth comb like usual. This is a more informal and relaxed approach and often us going off topic!
