I think this was one of the best ever comedy series out of the UK!

I don't appreciate being bombarded with a fucking computer game advert on youtube when I'm watching a clip of something completely different!

Youtube, if this is the way you are moving forward then you can shove your website up your world wide web arse hole!

Great series, an iconic reminder of cultures past. As for the comment left by Killwill83 here is a suggestion if you don't like the advertisements on this site - DON'T COME ONTO THE WEBSITE AT ALL!!!! As for the language you decide to use do you think others 'appreciate' that. YOU ARE AN IDIOT - GROW UP!!!

This And Fawlty towers, the elite of British sitcoms.

Personally I think this series is brilliant because it was ahead of its time. The kind of advertisments and useless crap marketed as useless and therefore desirable anticipates the mid nineties up to today by about 2 decades! They also made use of the whole 'anti advert; idea that collette dickinson pearce and saatci and saatchi claimed to be their own by about a decade (although I beleive the former may have been making their famous cigarette ads around the same time as reggie perrin).

Those talking of Irish racism in this sitcom obviously haven't seen it all. The Irishman turns out to be the only one who works out what Perrin is up to, rendering the argument redundant.

A boardroom full of about 15 English twats and 1 Irish twat, and there are issues over anti-Irishness? Is it now the case you can take the piss out of anyone as long as they are english?

I'm 100% Irish and 100% not offended') 

[perrin6]

A a person who's maternal Grandfather was irish and therefore I am one quarter Irish, I'd like to announce that.........I feel only one quarter as offended as I would be if I was 100% Irish.

[perrin6]

@killwill83 agreed !

@rugbyboy198127 One more thing. Some stereotypes are based on a small element of truth. The Thai stereotype of Westerners that live in Thailand is that we are either criminals or whoremongers (partly true). The expat stereotype of Thai men is that they are lazy, violent, drunks who leg it the moment they get a girl pregnant. This is, in some cases true, but not for all Thai men. Thai culture has, in the past, turned a blind eye to cheating on your wife.
