Page "One Foot in the Grave" Paragraph 11

In later episodes, Margaret develops into a more complex character.

She is shown to be fiercely protective of her marriage to Victor, becoming easily suspicious and jealous, for example, of a Dutch marionette that Victor becomes occupied with repairing in the episode " Hole in the Sky ", eventually leading her to destroy it.

In " The Affair of the Hollow Lady ", a greengrocer develops a liking for Victor and wrongly attempts to convince Margaret that he has been unfaithful to her.

In revenge, Margaret assaults the woman with a pair of boxing gloves.

However, Margaret herself is shown to have contemplated infidelity with a man she met on holiday in the episode " Warm Champagne ", eventually deciding against it.

She sums up her relationship with Victor in this episode by telling Ben ( her admirer ) " Victor's the most sensitive person I know-and that's why I love him.

And why I continually want to ram his head through a television screen ".
