The lamentable Reggie Perrin

[vickyducky]

I'm sensing a pattern here - and maybe it's just that I've become an old git - it wasn't like this in my day. I loved the original 'Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin' and I have to say I thought they would really struggle to do it without Leonard Rossiter in the lead, but actually what really did for it was the script. Obviously they had to update it, but it just wasn't funny, although the studio audience howled with laughter throughout. Perhaps it will improve when I've got used to it being different. I seem to remember that the original didn't really get into its stride until he actually decides to kill himself.
