Kevin Reacts to One Foot in the Grave S1E1
Transcript
00:00Hello everybody, welcome back to the channel, my name's Kevin, I'm a geek, you're watching
00:16Kevin the Geek and welcome to my first ever reaction to One Foot in the Grave.
00:22Ironic actually that I'm watching this today, when yesterday I watched an episode that was
00:27also to do with death and a grave in the British Empire, but this one I don't know much about.
00:37I mean, from my vague memories as a kid watching Father Ted, I believe there's a character
00:43in this who goes, I don't believe it, but that is literally all I know.
00:50So this is going to be interesting, this has been highly requested by a number of different
00:54people over the various months and stuff.
00:57So we're finally checking it out today for the very first time.
01:25Nice, I like that.
01:33Alive and buried.
01:55Not everyone.
02:09Oh.
02:10Oh!
02:24Cap, wallet, car keys.
02:26Mrs Crouch ran off with her chiropodist.
02:28Margaret, where the hell did you put my car keys?
02:30How did they get in there?
02:31I never put them there.
02:32You know, that Derek Gibson.
02:34Derek Gibson is not a chiropodist, he's a foot fetishist.
02:37There is a difference.
02:38I've got to take the car into the garage this morning, I'm never going to make it.
02:41Oh and by the way, Mildred who works in the butchers sends you her regards and says she's
02:45sorry to hear the terrible news.
02:46That's very nice.
02:47What terrible news?
02:48She didn't say.
02:50She just said it wasn't worth shoving your head in a gas oven over and you should think
02:54of it as a brand new chapter in your life.
02:56She must have gone completely nuts.
02:57Does everyone know apart from him?
02:59At least I'm presuming he's the one who's making early retirement.
03:03And her voice sounds very familiar.
03:08I know her from somewhere.
03:09As I say, it's never an easy one for us.
03:12Still, just think of all that free time you'll have to yourself now.
03:16You must be thrilled to bits.
03:18Thrilled to bits.
03:19Of course, the biggest problem of all was how do you ever replace a man like Victor Meldrew?
03:24Well basically, with this box.
03:27Wow!
03:28I know.
03:29Isn't it amazing what they can come up with these days?
03:32It does everything you used to do except complain about the air conditioning.
03:35In future you see all visitors will have a special security clearance code.
03:39So when they come in they just feed the number in here and...
03:45Good morning.
03:46Welcome to Mycroft Watson Associates.
03:48Mr. Winfrey will be free very shortly if you'd just like to take a seat over there.
03:53We'll call you as soon as he's ready.
03:55Thank you for your cooperation.
03:58I'm sorry we haven't got you a farewell present yet.
04:02Only the whip round is taking a bit longer than we expected.
04:05There were one or two very ugly scenes in the accounts department
04:08which if you ask me were right out of order.
04:11But as I say, do feel free to pop in and visit us any time you're passing
04:15giving a minimum of five working days notice
04:17and quoting this six-digit reference number.
04:20Six-digit reference number?
04:23Look at you, Victor. A man of leisure at last.
04:31There's a lot of people who just never want to take the time.
04:34What do I do with myself?
04:37Is that what the premise of the show is going to be?
04:39Is that what he does after retirement?
04:41Or is he going to get hired back by the end of the episode?
04:48Oh!
04:52Yep, rub it in.
04:57Yeah, some people don't like it because it's a sign of them getting older.
05:09Oh!
05:17It was Bovril flavour today.
05:19What?
05:20The empty crisp packet on the front lawn.
05:23I was expecting prawn cocktail.
05:26Funny how things work out sometimes.
05:28Lord, what a day!
05:31We never stopped. Suddenly, everyone's dying at once.
05:36I'm thinking of compiling a special reference guide.
05:39The Observer's Book of Crap in Your Front Lawn.
05:45Give you something to do in the years ahead.
05:48Leaves, floral, tributes.
05:51I've never known such a run on lilies.
05:54A cornucopia of corpses, Mrs Treaty called it.
05:59You know how she comes out with these funny expressions.
06:03What is it? What's the matter?
06:07I've been replaced by a box.
06:11What are you talking about?
06:12A standard procedure, apparently, for a man of my age.
06:15The next stage is to stick you inside one.
06:19They haven't retired you.
06:21Oh, haven't they? Oh, it was all a bad dream then.
06:23What did they say?
06:26Bugger off, I think, was the line they just said.
06:30Oh, Victor.
06:35Why is it this seems to be happening to everyone at the moment?
06:39It was the same with poor old Arthur.
06:42Do you remember?
06:43A lifetime of loyal service and then suddenly...
06:47That was it.
06:48They said he was past it.
06:50And he was only 56.
06:52He was an elephant.
06:55A little bit different.
06:57I knew he was an elephant.
06:59I'm well aware he was an elephant.
07:01He was giving the children elephant rides.
07:04It's as obvious he was an elephant.
07:06I'm just making the point how suddenly you become dispensable.
07:11Why didn't you ring me at the shop or something?
07:14Oh, I don't know. I've been in a complete daze ever since I got back.
07:18An hour and a half I spent looking at these two photographs in the paper
07:22of Nicholas Ridley in an overturned dust cart.
07:25I thought it was one of those spot the difference competitions.
07:28I can't even see straight anymore.
07:33I'll make a cup of tea.
07:35When in doubt, when down.
07:3726 years.
07:39Always make a cup of tea.
07:41That's the British way.
07:43His hair always looks nice.
07:45I wonder what he washes it with.
07:47His vest and his socks, what do you think he washes it with?
07:51What are you saying?
07:53It's not real?
07:54Of course it's real.
07:56Look at the parting.
07:57That's not a parting.
07:59That's a crease where it's folded up in the box.
08:04Seems in a bad mood tonight.
08:06Really?
08:07Or is it just me?
08:08Maybe just you.
08:09Obviously it has been a bit of a trial to him, Gene, you know.
08:14He's been a real upset, all told.
08:17But then he always did get unbearably irritable at the best of times, didn't he?
08:22Do you mind I talk about him when he's in the room?
08:25I'm sorry, he?
08:26Who's this he we're suddenly talking about?
08:29Dr. Crippen Higg, the acid bath murderer?
08:33So how big was it then, Mr. Meldrew?
08:36What?
08:37This box?
08:39Well, I suppose it was about 12 inches wide by about...
08:43What bloody difference does it make how big it was?
08:46It was a box filled with wires and microchips and it's taken my job.
08:51I'm now officially a lower form of life than a Duracell battery.
08:56You've got to keep busy, Mr. Meldrew, that's the thing.
08:59Find things to occupy yourself, like Gene here.
09:02Now, she's never idle, are you?
09:04All our coffee mornings and jumble sales.
09:07Lunchtime shows every Thursday.
09:10Great.
09:12Now, look, there's something you used to do.
09:15Conjuring tricks.
09:17You used to put on little shows for the children.
09:20He's still got all the junk stored up in the loft.
09:23You know, silk handkerchiefs, dummy pigeons, you name it.
09:28Dummy pigeons?
09:30Weren't they?
09:31Of course they weren't dummy pigeons.
09:33They were real pigeons.
09:35How do you think they flew across the stage onto that perch?
09:39Don't ask me, some trickery or other.
09:42They were not dummy pigeons, you don't know anything about it.
09:45So, when are you going to come down to the centre, then?
09:48Put on a show for us?
09:49Yes, very funny.
09:51He's too stubborn, I'm afraid.
09:53Yes, they can be at that age.
09:55Oh, can they? Can they really, at that age?
09:57It's now dementia, I believe it's called.
10:00I believe it is.
10:02Of course he's right.
10:04You couldn't expect him to still manage it.
10:06Not after all these years.
10:08I can still manage it, don't you worry about that.
10:11I'm just not prepared...
10:12I'm just not prepared to prostitute my art
10:14in front of six wizened zombies from the local WI.
10:18I have plenty to occupy my time, I've been busy all these years,
10:21I'm not going to stop now.
10:23Last thing I'm going to be doing is moping about at home all day
10:26feeling sorry for myself.
10:28Yeah.
10:32And that's exactly what he's going to do.
10:34Nine o'clock.
10:3614 more hours before it's time to go to bed.
10:41Oh, God.
11:06Oh, oh, oh.
11:12A bloody WIX catalogue.
11:17You might get some kitchen design ideas.
11:20Mmm, goody, a comprehensive list of large lap fence panels.
11:25How could I have lived without one?
11:28Why is it when life's at its lowest ebb
11:31when you really need some good news to cheer you up
11:35the only thing that comes through your letterbox
11:37is a bloody WIX catalogue?
11:39Oh, my God.
11:40Could be worse, could be the Argos catalogue.
11:42Give me something to do.
11:44There must be more to it than this.
11:46What do other people do?
11:48What are you doing?
11:50Going to the toilet again?
11:52I just realised that there's probably some people
11:55who may be watching this who have no idea
11:57what an Argos catalogue is.
12:00Wow.
12:02That could age this episode and me very, very quickly.
12:07It's the only reason you're going upstairs to go to the toilet.
12:10You only went 15 minutes ago.
12:12And the only reason you're going again now
12:14is to relieve the monotony.
12:19Pull yourself together, man.
12:21You're becoming a lavatory junkie.
12:24If you go on like this, I'll have to wire your flies together.
12:28Weld your zip up with a soldering iron.
12:31Do something constructive.
12:33They must be in by now.
12:35Give them a call. What have you got to lose?
12:42And there'll be some people who don't know
12:44what a rotary phone is or how to use it.
12:46Hello, Stapleton Security Systems.
12:48Yes, look, I notice you're advertising for staff in this week's...
12:52Mail Drew.
12:54Who is he?
12:56Yes, he can.
12:58Mail Drew.
13:00Who is he?
13:02Yes, he can. I'm on 770301.
13:05No, that is the home number.
13:07No, I'll be here all day. No, I'm not going out.
13:09No, I'll be here.
13:11Because I'll be here all day, that's why.
13:13Yes, in the house all day.
13:15Look, never mind sod that for a life.
13:18Just ask him to ring me.
13:20What? Who is he?
13:22Oh, yes, hello.
13:24Well, I was with Watson Mycroft at head office for 26 years.
13:28Oh, yes, that's absolutely suitable.
13:31Look, yes...
13:33Could you hold on a second? There's someone at the door.
13:36They're going to hang up, aren't they?
13:38Yes. Good morning, sir. My name's Nick.
13:40I'm calling on behalf of the Outward Bound Scheme for the Elderly.
13:43I'm looking for Mr Victor Mail Drew.
13:46Yes.
13:48Oh, that's you. That's thrown me.
13:50I was told you were in the Granny Annex.
13:53Look, I'm on the phone just now.
13:55Can you hang on for just one second, please?
13:59Hello, are you still there?
14:01Yes, right. Come in for a little chat, why not?
14:04Why not indeed?
14:06Then we can get to know each other, have a friendly little natter.
14:09You can't do that standing on the doorstep, can you?
14:12At ten o'clock.
14:1410.15. Right, fine.
14:16Yes, I'll be there. Thank you very much. Goodbye.
14:18Look, what are you...? Friendly natter over a cup of tea.
14:21It's much more personal, isn't it? Cup of tea?
14:23I won't if you don't mind on this occasion,
14:25but it's always nice to be asked.
14:27Now, let me tell you a little bit about the Outward Bound Scheme.
14:31Basically, we provide little rides out and about,
14:34here, there and everywhere, really.
14:36I do not want to go to Eastbourne.
14:38Plus a special minibus to Eastbourne.
14:40Once a month, with a train nurse on board,
14:43should anyone suddenly collapse or suffer a wheezing fit of some kind...
14:47He's going to hit him, isn't he?
14:49Look, who sent you round here?
14:51Oh, I think a Mrs Capshaw from Help the Aged put us on to you,
14:54but I'm not quite certain.
14:56Well, look, you could just bloody well piss off.
14:58Oh! Wow!
15:00Go and see Mrs Orthob at 25.
15:02I believe she's ready to nail the lid down.
15:04Yes, I hear what you're saying.
15:06A desire for independence is perfectly natural,
15:08but you mustn't feel that you're being a burden at all.
15:11You know, a millstone round the neck of society.
15:13I'll tell you what, I'll just give you my phone number, and then...
15:16Look, if I need a car to pick me up, I'll ring for a hearse.
15:20Lovely to meet you then, Mr Meldroop.
15:22Sorry about the cup of tea. Maybe next time.
15:24Bye-bye to you, sir.
15:25Good morning.
15:28Whoa!
15:31Yes. Yes.
15:33Well, you are entitled to that opinion, Mr Glacken,
15:36but with... Yes.
15:38But with gre... But with gre...
15:40But with gre... With great respect, sir,
15:42we saw the end of In Good Faith,
15:44so I don't think we can be...
15:46Yes.
15:47Well, if that makes you feel better,
15:49by all means, sir, goodbye to you.
15:55Good afternoon, you're...
15:56Victor Meldroop, the Crimson Avenger.
16:01Yes, I... I... I...
16:03It's still on the ramp.
16:05I'm sorry, sir?
16:06You promised me, if you're ready, by 3.30.
16:08I've just spent two hours getting here
16:10on what the Spanish Inquisition used to call
16:12an Iron Maiden,
16:14but we now call Public Transport.
16:18It is now 5 o'clock,
16:19and I can't help but noticing
16:21that my car is still stuck up on a ramp
16:24with a series of pimply hues
16:25and boiler suits and earrings underneath it
16:27fiddling about mindlessly with monkey wrenches.
16:31I'm sure they're working as fast as they can, sir.
16:33They are not working as fast as they can.
16:35Two of them are staging a mock fencing duel with car aerials.
16:39What's going on?
16:41Just one second, Mr Meldroop.
16:45I thought this was the place I was going for an interview.
16:48I was thinking, first of all, why is he...
16:54I was thinking, why is he wearing that outfit,
16:56and then why is he coming in all... all angry?
17:00Yes, there does appear to be a slight hitch with that one, sir.
17:04Can you tell me what exactly was the problem with the car?
17:07What do you mean you don't know what's wrong with it yet?
17:10Well, we know what's wrong with it now.
17:13I was just wondering what was wrong with it
17:14when you brought it in.
17:17Well, it kept sticking in first gear.
17:20Half the time, I couldn't get it to go any faster
17:22than 10 miles per foot.
17:24It was a bit of a mess.
17:25Half the time, I couldn't get it to go any faster
17:27than 10 miles per foot.
17:29What do you mean what's wrong with it now?
17:30What have you done to my car?
17:32I do apologise, Mr Meldroop.
17:33It's so difficult to find the parts.
17:35It is if you've dropped them all over the bloody floor.
17:38There's a massacre of Glencoe with spark plugs out there.
17:42I'm afraid it won't be ready for you now
17:44until midday tomorrow.
17:45Midday?
17:47I've got an interview for a job
17:48on the other side of town tomorrow.
17:49How am I going to get there?
17:53There we are.
17:54Look, we're just passing the park.
17:56Oh, look, aren't the geraniums nice?
17:59Shall we stop and have a look at them?
18:01I think they are quite a geranium,
18:02it looks like, for God's sake.
18:05Can't this thing go any faster?
18:06It's quarter to already.
18:08Oh, look at that lady's hat.
18:09That's a nice one, isn't it?
18:11I wonder where she got that.
18:13Very smart on her.
18:14My goodness, look at the lovely colour
18:16of the traffic lights.
18:18It just turns such a nice shade of green.
18:21Go, go, go!
18:22Long enough to go back to that lovely red again.
18:31Oh!
18:34Oh, no!
18:35What's the matter?
18:36Why have we stopped?
18:38It's been stalling like this all week, damn thing.
18:40Now, if I could just get it on a roll
18:42down that slope there,
18:43we'd be in business.
18:53Oh, come on!
18:55You're not asking all the old biddies to roll it.
18:59Dig in, everyone.
19:01Just a bit further.
19:09Hey!
19:11That's going to drive us without us.
19:22I'll have this working in just a jiffy.
19:24Oh, my word!
19:26I don't think I feel very well, Mr. Meldrew.
19:30It's starting to be a bit stiff.
19:31It's been in the attic for 12 years.
19:33All it needs is a good clout.
19:35Mr. Meldrew,
19:36I don't feel very safe with it.
19:38Maybe the blade's gone a bit rusted.
19:40Oh, bugger that!
19:44It's certainly sharp enough still.
19:46Is he doing a bit?
19:47What if it doesn't work?
19:48It'll work.
19:49Have a little faith.
19:51Oh!
19:52I want to get out.
19:53We've gone to a wise shop.
19:55I think it's going to drop.
19:56Don't have the frame like that.
19:57It won't do it any good.
20:02Perfect.
20:03Perfect working order.
20:05That's splendid.
20:06I'm very pleased with that.
20:09Oh, I think I'm going to be sick.
20:12Not in that rug.
20:13I just cleaned it.
20:16No, that's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
20:19How long do you want me to do?
20:20A half hour?
20:21I suppose I could stretch it to 45.
20:23I'll give you a ring tomorrow.
20:27Jean!
20:28What's the matter?
20:29What's wrong with your neck?
20:30Don't touch it, please.
20:31My head may fall off.
20:38Have you been guillotining that woman?
20:40Yes.
20:41I thought I told you to try it on a cushion first.
20:44Where's the pleasure in that?
20:46Oh, it was fine.
20:48I didn't think it would be after all that time.
20:49I thought it might have gone a bit rusty.
20:52The escapology.
20:54Do you think I've still got the knack?
20:56No.
20:57Margaret?
21:04How did the interview go?
21:06Don't ask.
21:08I just asked.
21:09Well, don't.
21:11I got there two hours late and one of my bad tempers
21:13and was immediately insulted by some gink in a pit cap at the front desk.
21:18A gink?
21:19You know what they're like.
21:21What's a gink?
21:23What did he say?
21:24He said,
21:25Ah, you'll have come to do the drains.
21:29And I go through to the personnel officer
21:31and he managed to make three unpleasant remarks about my hat
21:34before I even sat down.
21:37So I don't know where to stick his job and left.
21:40Mr Langisham came into the shop today from your old office
21:44with a big leaving card for you.
21:48He said they were going to post it
21:50but it would just be a waste of a stamp.
21:53That's all he brought, I take it.
21:54He didn't leave a gold watch or a set of priceless wine glasses.
21:57Oh, you never know.
21:59There's still time.
22:00They could be planning a big surprise or something.
22:03Yes, look, there go another flock of flying pigs.
22:06He ain't getting out, is he?
22:09I've got lamb chops for tea.
22:11Is that all right?
22:12Bye.
22:21Is he wise with that guillotine there?
22:23Do I have to do everything myself?
22:25Go do it yourself.
22:26Wow!
22:28Any luck?
22:29Yes, at long last.
22:31They had to bring a new clutch, a complete new gearbox
22:34and four new tyres.
22:36I don't know why they didn't stick a new car onto the wing mirror
22:38and be done with it.
22:41Where are you going?
22:42I said I'd take Mrs Burkett for a meal tonight.
22:44I thought she was dead.
22:46No, they found out that was a mistake.
22:49I'm not going.
22:50I'm not going.
22:51I'm not going.
22:52I'm not going.
22:53I'm not going.
22:54I'm not going.
22:55They found out that was a mistake.
22:57She's still got a jippy spleen.
23:00Are you going to fix this shelf?
23:01Yes, it's all in hand, don't worry.
23:03Well, make sure it's level this time.
23:05I'll see you when I see you.
23:06Bye.
23:07He's got a lot of time in his hands to fix it.
23:09Daylight robbery.
23:12Well, we're running a bit late.
23:13Can we squeeze in one more question, please?
23:15Yes, I'd just like to ask the Chancellor
23:17how he would feel about having a rather large hoe
23:20bored in his head.
23:26That's better.
23:27How was it for you, Chancellor?
23:28Very good.
23:30Extremely well.
23:33Yes?
23:34Mr Meldrew?
23:35It's Mrs Warboys.
23:37I'm down at the community centre.
23:39I'm just going through some bits and pieces
23:41with Mr Matthews,
23:42who's doing the lighting for us for the show tomorrow.
23:45Yes?
23:46I know it's a bit late,
23:47but we were wondering if you could get down here at all.
23:50Run through your act, as it were,
23:52just to give us some sort of idea.
23:54Couldn't it wait till tomorrow?
23:56Oh, well, Mr Matthews can't get here till one.
23:59Oh, is it like a party?
24:00A surprise.
24:03Pop down about eight.
24:04It will be worth your while, I promise you.
24:07I'm just in the middle...
24:09Will it be worth my while?
24:11Oh, yes, Mr Meldrew.
24:12Definitely.
24:15Right.
24:16OK, I'll be there at eight.
24:17Fine.
24:18See you then.
24:19Goodbye.
24:20Bye.
24:22You never know.
24:23There's still time.
24:24They could be planning a big surprise or something.
24:27Oh!
24:28Yes, going out for dinner with Mrs Birkhead.
24:31Oh, no, it's not going to be, is it?
24:33No, no, it's all making absolute sense now.
24:36Right.
24:37Oh, God, this is going to be so awkward!
24:47I mean, I hope I am right that it is actually a surprise,
24:50but it's not going to be.
24:51Just a second, Mr Meldrew.
24:52Hang on there.
24:53The lights have just all fused on us.
24:55Oh, dearie me, have they really?
24:57Yes.
24:58This way.
24:59Ah, here we are.
25:01I'm sure Mr Matthews will have them all on in a sec.
25:05Oh!
25:11Sorry?
25:13What?
25:14You're all done up like a dog's dinner.
25:16You're off somewhere nice afterwards.
25:18Shh!
25:19What?
25:21Yes, um, it's just I thought, um...
25:25Yes?
25:28Nothing.
25:30So, have you got all your paraphernalia with you, then?
25:36Oh, um, yes.
25:41I'll get it out of the boot.
25:49Thank you very much, then, Mr Meldrew.
25:51It was all very useful.
25:54See you tomorrow at one.
25:56Yes, thank you.
25:57Bye-bye.
25:58Bye.
26:07Poor Mr Meldrew.
26:11Oh, please say his car's not going to break down again.
26:15You're supposed to fix this, for God's sake!
26:35Oh!
26:37Having trouble, Mr Meldrew?
26:39Mr Meldrew?
26:43Can I give you a lift anywhere?
26:45What?
26:47In that car?
26:49That's got no engine?
26:54Well, it's still good at driving.
27:05Oh!
27:10It makes you wonder what their marriages must be like.
27:13Oh, no!
27:15Is this not going to get arrested? No!
27:20Oh, no!
27:23Bingo!
27:24Here we go.
27:25Oh, no!
27:34The court then heard evidence from WPC Sharon Banks,
27:38who had been posing as a call girl
27:40as part of a police undercover operation to trap curb crawlers.
27:45First observed the accused driving around the area very slowly
27:48with a shifty look on his face.
27:51She said,
27:52after a moment he pulled up and called out,
27:54Excuse me, miss, but can you spare me some time?
27:58When I asked what he meant by this, he replied,
28:00I may need a hand pumping this thing up.
28:04A problem, I gather, commonly associated with elderly men.
28:10The court then heard that a search of Meldrew's car
28:13revealed a mind-boggling collection of chains, padlocks and handcuffs.
28:19When quizzed about these by the prosecution,
28:22he claimed to have been out that night rehearsing an escapology act.
28:27Much laughter and merriment from the jury.
28:29Much laughter and merriment from the jury.
28:32And though clear of all the charges before him,
28:34Meldrew was...
28:36fined £500 for contempt of court
28:39after taking the Bible in his right hand
28:41and hurling it at the head of the presiding magistrate.
28:44What's he going to say?
28:50It's not been a very good week, has it?
28:53Has it already been a week?
28:54Perhaps an electric fire in the bath might be the answer.
28:57Time will sort it out.
29:00You can't expect things to run smoothly straight away.
29:05No.
29:06You're like a car, stuck in the wrong gear.
29:10You've got to change down, slow down, adapt to a new routine.
29:15You've got a whole new life ahead of you.
29:17But can you go down further from Perthshire?
29:20You've hardly started.
29:22You've got it all still to come.
29:24Yes.
29:26That's what scares me.
29:28Mmm!
29:38Oh, that was great.
29:39That was really great.
29:42Oh, it's the Nick Crosby!
29:50Oh, Eddie Arnold's in the music.
29:52Oh, Eddie Arnold's in the music.
29:53Oh, OK.
30:05See, now I know it's Eddie Arnold.
30:06I can hear him, I can hear the voice.
30:23Nice!
30:25So, yep, no, no end credits.
30:27I didn't think there would be, but I thought, you know,
30:29first episode, let's just kind of let it play out.
30:31You never know.
30:33Right, so Annette Crosby.
30:37And I know where I know her from now,
30:39because her voice, it was bugging me all the way through that.
30:42I was like, where do I know that voice from?
30:44She was in an episode of Doctor Who.
30:46Specifically, the very first episode for Matt Smith.
30:51His first full appearance in The Eleventh Hour.
30:55It was a minor, minor, minor part.
30:59She was an old lady in the nursing home,
31:03or whatever it is that Amy and the Doctor and Rory went to.
31:08And she's like, oh, where do I know you from?
31:11Ironically, in this scenario.
31:13And then she's like, I know, he's the Doctor.
31:16He's the raggedy Doctor.
31:19You know, that is specifically where I knew her from.
31:25I mean, she's obviously done other stuff as well,
31:27but that, you know, it's weird.
31:29That minor role is where I most associate her from.
31:33But that, I think, has the potential to be
31:38one hell of an incredible show.
31:42I don't know what it is,
31:45but I like grumpy old men.
31:49Which, if you take that out of context,
31:52will sound really, really weird.
31:55So I hope no one's going to clip that as a meme.
32:01But, yeah.
32:07I think it's clear to say then,
32:09he's probably not getting his job back.
32:11Unless they do something with him.
32:16That they do it maybe at the end of a series
32:19or something like that.
32:20Because I thought if they're going to do it,
32:21they'd be doing it by the end of the first episode.
32:24But with a show called One Foot in the Grave,
32:27it kind of makes sense
32:29that they're not going to be giving him his job back.
32:33Because that's what they do say.
32:35You know, when you retire,
32:37you're nearing death.
32:41And it's like,
32:42that first kind of major part of your life
32:46is over and it's done with.
32:48And you're now getting ready to die, basically.
32:52And unfortunately, some people will embrace retirement
32:58and have a very happy retirement.
33:00But there'll be people who just don't embrace it.
33:04And they kind of wither away.
33:06And they end up in an early grave.
33:08They end up in an early grave
33:09because they just don't know what to do with themselves.
33:15And it's like,
33:16I've had the conversation,
33:17as I'm sure that many people have.
33:19They're like,
33:20oh, imagine if you won the lottery tomorrow.
33:22What would you do with it all?
33:23And everything like that.
33:24Wouldn't it be great to just wake up the next day
33:26and just go into work and say,
33:28I quit!
33:29I'm retiring!
33:30I've won the lottery!
33:32And you're like,
33:33I've always said,
33:34you know,
33:35I don't think I could do that.
33:37I would have to have something to keep me going.
33:42And I've always had it in my mind
33:46that I would have a little job of some kind.
33:51Maybe it's working in a shop for two days of a week.
33:55Or I'll volunteer somewhere.
33:58Or something.
34:00Because I just couldn't imagine just sitting around
34:03and basically doing nothing all day long.
34:06And that, unfortunately,
34:07is what happens for a lot of people.
34:09But especially when you get older,
34:12you know,
34:13the fact that you don't have a lot to do,
34:15but the stuff that you can do
34:18often can be dependent on your mobility
34:23and things like that.
34:24So this will be an interesting show moving forward.
34:27And I will be happy to watch more episodes.
34:31You let me know
34:32if you would like to see more episodes of this show.
34:36And of course,
34:37I will definitely,
34:39definitely,
34:40definitely
34:41consider doing more episodes.
34:43But that is going to do it for today.
34:45So I thank you very much.
34:47If you've stuck with me to this point,
34:48please drop your comments in the video.
34:50Please subscribe if you are new.
34:52But for now,
34:53my name is Kevin.
34:54I am a geek.
34:55And you've been watching Kevin the Geek.
34:58Goodbye.
