Best Patrick and Victor moments?


For me, it has to be Patrick continually catching Victor in the middle of doing something that we see as part of the story and vaguely normal, and him totally misinterpreting it as a completely loopy and insane action, such as mowing the front room carpet, when all that's happened is Victor is using the rake to gather the leaves that have just blown in the living room window and the Flymo is sitting there. Another favourite is when Victor is under the impression that Patrick has a gay twin brother and introduces himself to him while returning his dirty video, leaving Patrick completely baffled. How about the deadpan Patrick turning down Victor's offer of the spare bedroom in 'Wisdom Of The Witch': "Mr Meldrew, on balance, I'd rather stick my head up an elephant!" So many I could name. Yours, please?

when the two of them are stuck together in the wisdom of the witch episode. during the board game they seem to be genuinely getting along (for a change). of course that ends suddenly following a phone call from margaret.

Where Victor's old friend is staying over and learns his wife left him. He then tries to junp off tge roof but ends up hanging naked in front of tge window whil Patrick's potential business partners are there. Oh, and he is wearing Victor's underwear.

Victor prodding at the fried rice, looking for cockroaches. The look on Patrick's face was hilarious!
