Ever since the final episode of dark sitcom aired over 20 years ago, fans have been speculating about Glynis Holloway's fate. In the final episode, Things Aren't That Simple, Margaret Meldrew can be seen struggling to deal with the death of her husband Victor Meldrew after he was killed in a hit and run. At the end of the episode, the widow discovers that her new friend Glynis was the driver responsible for Victor's death.
The BBC series had an ambiguous end. After uncovering Glynis' scrapbook of press clippings about Victor's death, Margaret prepares a glass of orange juice with paracetamol for Glynis, who is suffering from a migraine. Ominous music plays as Margaret watches Glynis drink from the glass, then leaves the house and drives away.
The show does not reveal what happened to Glynis. However, the show's writer and creator David Renwick has addressed the long-standing question of whether Margaret poisoned Glynis.
Fans may not be too happy with his response, as he simply confirmed that the scene was written without a clear resolution. However, the actress who played Margaret has expressed a firm opinion on the matter.
In a discussion with IMDB, Annette Crosbie said that she believes Margaret did go through with poisoning Glynis. Viewers have continued to debate the matter online over the years. One recently revealed: "Just seen the last One Foot In The Grave again. For 10 years I've thought Margaret killed Glynis. I have JUST changed my mind."
However, another shared a different perspective, writing: "Just caught the last bit of One Foot in the Grave - Who else believes Margaret killed that woman?"
The final sequence of the episode features a montage of scenes from Victor and Margaret's life, set to the Traveling Wilburys' End of the Line. It offers no further clues about Glynis's fate.
One Foot in the Grave originally aired on BBC One from 1990 to 2000. The show ran for six series and due to popular demand also featured secen Christmas specials.
It revolved around the life of retiree , who was constantly having comical mishaps and railing against a world he often found himself at odds with. Richard Wilson played the archetypal grumpy old man, while Annette Crosbie starred as his longsuffering wife.
