IT'S arguably Meldrew's finest moment, and I was lucky enough to peer through my office window at the Echo and see it being filmed.
Our grumpy hero's got a new job as doorman at the Norfolk Royale on Richmond Hill but his very first morning ends in confrontation as he snatches the toupee off the head of a snooty guest and tosses it down the drain.
Other priceless episodes in this third series of David Renwick's achingly funny sitcom include the one filmed entirely within a car during a bank holiday traffic jam, with optional commentary by Renwick and Richard Wilson.
The inclusion of the 1991 Christmas special is a welcome bonus.
