One Foot in the Grave

Viewers primarily experience **Humor** from Victor Meldrew's misanthropic rants and the absurd misfortunes that befall him, leading to significant **Joy** and **Happiness**. However, the show's 'bittersweet' and 'darker edge' ensures strong feelings of **Sadness** and **Melancholy** due to Victor's constant misery and the poignant struggles of his long-suffering wife, Margaret. **Empathy** is also a key emotional response, as audiences connect with the characters' enduring predicaments.
