The fall and rise of Reginald Perrin

Absolutely superb stuff.
Fantastic performances from the brilliant cast and still "quoted" today - CJ' "I didn't get where I am today..." and the brilliant railway excuses.
Whenever I see missing letters on corporate signs I think of Sunshine Desserts.
A real fave of mine.
The hippos. I forgot about the hippos. That's the one!
Audrey Roberts was the typist he used to fantasise about
Excellent comedy in every way
Not a swear word used compared to the dog shite that is Mrs Browns Boys
Are you sure? I didn’t realise it was supposed to be a comedy

The first series was shown on BBC Four earlier this year.
There are elements that wouldn't be considered PC now, but I thought it stood the test of time well.
Rossiter was such a great performer.
When it was on, I had just turned 46. The same age as Reggie in the show.
I found it fascinating as everyone seems so old, or at least come across older than I feel now!

I re-watched it all the way through and absolutely loved it.
You're right about the age aspect.
Mind you, footballers of old always looked much "more mature" than the current and more recent crop.

It was repeated on BBC1 in the early 90's
I remember it clashed with The Bill & wanted to watch that
My granddad turned over & said watch this its funny so reluctantly did
After 30 minutes thought it was brilliant
Its not a laugh out loud comedy like Fools & Horse
More dark thought provoking so maybe not everyone would get the humour in it
Nowadays someone would probably say it 'tackles issues'
I never did watch that episode of The Bill

Dont worry. They're on permanent re-run on Drama.
