One Footer in the Grave | [Title]


With one foot in the door of their retirement home for senior web designers, Paul Boag, Andy Clarke, Jon Hicks, and Marcus Lillington get together once a month to distract each other from everyday life and work.

The show’s funny and frivolous and the chaps have a genuinely unique chemistry and will entertain you if you work on the web and even if you don’t.

8: Norfolk an’ chance

In this new episode, Andy bought a watch which isn’t as expensive as the divorce he narrowly avoided after. Jon sadly missed his bird nerd holiday but bought himself a camera. Paul’s wife crushed his expensive headphones so he bought new ones. The chaps then talk about the things they buy which give them joy and what they’d do if or when they retire.
