One Foot in the Grave

The Big Sleep - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: A minute or so after the health and fitness instructer dies, we see her lying flat out on her back. If you look carefully, you can see her chest moving up and down and breathing despite being dead. (00:13:05)

Suggested correction: If you actually watch the whole episode you will find she didn't die at all.

Talking rubbish I think, she did die. Maybe you're confusing her with the old lady who fainted?

At what point in the show did they reveal the instructor didn't die? It was the old lady who had just fainted.

Agreed. It's actually a plot point of the episode at the end.

I'm a big fan of this comedy and have probably watched each episode 20 times! I struggle to recall any mention of the fitness instructor not being dead.

Trivia

Trivia: The Christmas Special that aired in 1995, was initially intended as the series' finale, and would have seen Victor being killed while saving Margaret who was being attacked by a madman. The 1997 special was then intended to end the series with Margaret dying from a heart attack brought on from the strain of Victor's misadventures, but on both occasions the production crew got cold feet. It wasn't until the final series in 2000 that the team, in David Renwick's words, "plucked up the courage to kill Victor."
