Reggie seduces Joan - The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin - BBC comedy

During the remainder of the episode Reggie will also be visited by Jimmy amd Tom. Strangely, none of the vistors will mention seeing Joan's car parked outside. Presumably she did not "travel 20 miles" by public transport.

i think Martin Clunes's version of this is a very good modern adapation which young people who havn't seen this would like. Martin did state that he never wanted to be compared to Leonard Rossiter because it was a remake of the book and he knew he would never be as good. Personally i think the new show is excellent and didnt miss an episode - yet my opinion may be different if i was old enough to watch this version of the show when it was on tv

Joan is played by Sue Nicholls, better known as Audrey Roberts in Coronation Street. Classic timeless comedy.The 70 s was a golden age for sit coms, Fawlty Towers, Whatever happened to the Likely Lads and others

Thanks very much, Shah. I knew I recognized her, but couldn't think of where I'd seen her.

Excellent show. A contemporary show I also enjoyed greatly was 'The Good Life'.

Coronation Street is shown in Canada?! Or maybe you are an exiled Brit? Saw Penelope Keith recently in Educating Angels where she played a slightly snooty but kind hearted upper middle class snob, i.e just like Margot Ledbitter,a terrific comedy actress.

It is shown here in Canada. I watched it off and on for about 20 years. I still miss Angie Freeman.

Yes, Penelope is a great comic actress.

The British have made so many great comedy series. Including Red Dwarf and Black Adder.

I think Martin Clunes is great so logged on to see what the original was like. I am completely won over. It's brilliant. Why did they remake it?!

I've got Clunes on the telly ,and Rossiter on here . There's no comparison .
Clunes is brilliant.

I didnt get where I am today by telling the truth.

Clunes tries hard, but it just doesn't work

No farting chair either , the best thing in this!
