The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin - Part 1
4 Extra Debut. Reginald Perrin is fed up and keeps wanting to say 'parsnip'. David Nobbs's classic comedy dramatised by Jon Canter. From 2022.
David Nobbs's television comedy series introduced the world to Reginald Iolanthe Perrin - 'Reggie' - the suburban dwelling executive who's had enough.
Enough of working for his bullying boss at Sunshine Desserts, enough of the trains not running on time and enough of being impotent.
His behaviour becomes increasingly eccentric until he makes a life changing decision.
