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).

This show is really FUNNY, but it is funny because it is so smart. Smart scripts, with a real feel toward the nonsense many of us have experienced in corporate/office life. Martin Clunes is truly wonderful, bringing a genuineness to the absurdity of the situations he both encounters and creates. The other actors are good, too, but it all works because of him. He has a special ability to convey many layers of thought and emotion on his face in just a few seconds time. Tremendous energy and charisma, but rarely over the top. I can't think of when I enjoyed a series more - a great surprise as a worthy follow up to series 1!

OH DEAR, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT
I am a huge fan of Martin Clunes and of both the original Reggie Perrin and the remade first series starring Martin Clunes. Read more

"I'm almost physically excited!"
This fresh show brings Reggie into the twenty first century, yet retains the comic genious of "The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin". Read more

Much better than the original Series
At first, Martin Clunes seemed an unlikely replacement for the originally morose and depressive protagonist who had lots of cringe and never quite made you laugh. Read more

One of the funniest shows in years!
Martin Clunes deadpan delivery and a well written script have me smiling and laughing throughout both Season 1 and 2. Read more

Brilliant
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. Read more

Comedy Hell
Words can barely describe the horror of this feeble offering. The scripts are lame and feeble, like watching Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps without the jokes. Read more
