Season 2, Episode 4
10/10
So funny, but it will break your heart.

Why can't anyone nowadays realise that to deliver first class comedy you need to darken it with a little sadness, David Renwick knew only too well when he wrote one Foot in The Grave.

Who will buy is another classic from the outstanding second series. Everything about it is perfect, the writing, acting, scenarios and of course the constant laughs.

We learn so much more about Margaret, we learn how kind hearted she is, the story of the poor elderly Gentleman is incredibly sad, quite literally enough to bring you to tears.

Patrick and Pippa finally arrive, now the fun and games really start, the future clashes between Victor and Patrick were terrific. Plain to see things were off to a bad start, Victor needed a neighbour to clash with. The look on Victor and Margaret's face when Pippa takes the dummy, side splitting.

There's the murder mystery element throughout, we even get a bit of the Poirot music.

A perfect Comedy clash of fun and sadness, it's a real gem, 10/10.
