The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin CJisms: "I didn't get where I am today..."

Now Available on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001T46TCE/

Opening with a naked Reggie running into the sea, this groundbreaking BBC comedy series tells the story of a man desperate to escape his daily monotony. Adapted by David Nobbs from his darkly-comedic novel, and powered by the unique performance of Leonard Rossiter, this brilliant satire had the world "cracking up" over one man's nervous breakdown.

Reginald Perrin (Rossiter) has a respectable career at Sunshine Desserts, a happy marriage and two less than satisfactory children. But the pressures of the rat race are beginning to push Reggie over the edge. The mere mention of his mother-in-law conjures the image of a hippopotamus, the word 'earwig' keeps creeping into his conversations, and his thoughts are repeatedly interrupted by outrageous fantasies involving his secretary - what's an overstressed food firm executive to do?
