DVD Description
Martin Clunes returns as the bored sales executive Reggie Perrin, an average man finding it increasingly difficult to put up with the monotony of life.
Out of the ashes of his breakdown, Reggie Perrin creeps back from the brink with a new zest for his once monotonous life. The once-frustrated commuter and disposable razor sales executive has come up with an alternative plan – one where he can bail out of his misery-inducing career and finally live for the moment.
Then, in a moment of red mist, his wife Nicola (Fay Ripley) loses her teaching job and Reggie’s laid-back new lifestyle of oil painting, pointless therapy and baking is under threat. Reggie is sucked back into the world of men's personal grooming, but this time he’s armed with the freedom to do as he wishes…

I've never seen the original, so I can't compare the two, but I like this version a lot. The first series was good, but now Reggie's in charge it's stepped up a gear. I've laughed a lot during this current series.Older friends still tell me the original was better, but that's not going to stop me enjoying this.

Although I had a hard time getting into season one, I found this season better balanced and even side-splitting at times. I especially couldn't get enough of Reggie's secretary this time round...this actress is hilarious. There's no sense comparing to Leonard Rossiter's...it's a different time and whole different animal. Martin Clunes deserves high praise for bringing his own brilliant timing and manic touch to the material. And watching he and Faye Ripley together is just like putting on your favorite pair of old slippers. Definitely worth the money...some scenes are so funny they need to be watched over and over (keep an eye out for the scene where the parents announce they've become engaged).

Don't buy this if you can't get the original off your mind, this isn't just a modern take on the original, it is a fantastic script well acted and with great storylines.This series will be a classic in its own right due to the outstanding comedy genius that is Martin Clunes. Well worth buying. I just hope that there are more to come.
