Featuring many viewers' favorite scenes - including the Meldrew ‘Surgical Support Recycling Centre' and the indecent exposure identity parade - these are priceless episodes from a magnificent series.

Could it be his new part-time gardening job or does the answer lie in the stars?

Endgame - All seems to be going well for the Meldrews for a change. But disaster is never far away...Soon Victor is selected for an indecent exposure parade, becomes involved with the ghost of a dead Satan-worshipper, ends up in bed with his new neighbors and embarks on a holiday destined to test his 37-year marriage...
