74: The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin

Number 18 in the Comedy/Variety category

still

Serial sitcom detailing the bizarre misadventures of Reggie Perrin, a Sunshine Desserts confectionery executive caught in a mid-life crisis and spinning madly out of control. Perversely, the madder he becomes the more successful he seems to be. Giant performance from Rossiter in an intelligent, dark comedy, way out of the mainstream.    DF
