- Quotes
[first lines]
Mrs Warboys: What's this? More paraphernalia?
Margaret Meldrew: [reads] 'Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents'. Some survey or other. I thought I'd fill it in while we're waiting for the x-rays.
[reads]
Margaret Meldrew: 'Give a brief description of how the accident occurred.'
Mrs Warboys: A garden shed fell on him.
Margaret Meldrew: I put: Rotting timbers collapsed on head while dismantling old outhouse in rear garden.
[reads]
Margaret Meldrew: 'Was the accident unavoidable or due to the patient's carelessness?'
Mrs Warboys: Carelessness. Put stupidity. That was asking for trouble in anyone's book, unscrewing all the nails in the building before you've taken the roof off.

Mrs Warboys had planned an outing for a group of friends to go to the BBC to watch a new sitcom being made, numbers dwindle and it ends up just being Victor, Margaret, and Mrs Warboys' Cousin Wilf. An unfortunate mishap by Mrs Warboys part meant she's taken the window cleaner home, barely conscious he ends up going in place of Wilfred. Worse for Victor and Margaret, Ronnie and Mildred plan a visit, showing pictures of their Loft Conversion. On the plus side for Victor he's landed a job, but sadly it doesn't go well.
Some really funny bits, the busted Mattress, Citroen 2CV, Margaret and Victor hiding from Ronnie and Mildred, and the awesome ending, Victor working as a concierge. it's a classic. 10/10
