God, I love Richard Wilson! Just a British treasure! The odd thing about this scene is that the cars pictured at the counter are a circa 1990 Cadillac Brougham and a Cadillac Eldorado. All I can guess is that the aforementioned "Crimson Avenger" understood to be an American car by the writers or director, while though named the "Chrysler Avenger", it was entirely a British product of the Rootes Group and sold under the "Chrysler" nameplate in the UK as the US company had taken a stake in Rootes in the 1960s. It was as American as Branston Pickle, toffee, or Ribena.
Loved watching Victor Meldrew on utube it ended up being poor quality I hope someone will restore it and keeping up appearances like they restored steptoe and son xx
I used to work in a Ford Dealership in London in the 80s and our Victor Meldrew s were the contents of the House of Lords with their empty tattered expensive leather brief cases , screaming blue murder at us about their Wireless not working or their exhaust Pipes being too loud and our Workshop Manager was nick named Basil Faulty , it was a carry on film every day , where has all the fun gone ???
Probably not helping that judging from the pictures on the desk he’s taken his Avenger to an American car specialist. Maybe if Victor called it a Plymouth Cricket they’d have more luck sourcing bits for it.
I like how people say Victor is the grumpiest man in Britain but when you actually watch the show you realize he has legit reason to be so angry and grumpy.
Yes. And also Margaret is deemed the long suffering wife but Victor never intentionally upsets her whereas Margaret, at times, thoughtlessly hurts Victor.
That’s the point of the show. In most comedies the main character is the dumb one or crazy one. Victor meldrew is described by the writers as the only sane one in an insane world which is what makes it such a good show. Victor speaks for all of us

Victor's bloodpressure must be reaching orbital heights... But I have to say that whenever I have a bad day, all I have to do is watch something from OFITG to be assured that it can ALWAYS be worse.
I feel desperately sorry for today's woke generation. They miss out on this so much, in favour of humourless, sanitised monoguff. Give me Victor Meldrew and his crusading socks any day.
"....my car is still stuck up on a ramp with a sea of pimply youths in boiler suits and earrings underneath it fiddling about mindlessly with MONKEY WRENCHES!" This quote randomly popped into my head today and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The crimson avenger, I almost wet myself first time round. It still one of the funniest things ever done, stands up against anything ever done absolute class
