About the “Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin”
The DVD release of “The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin” is sure to excite classic British comedy fans, as will the revival of the series by the BBC this fall. BBC One has announced that Martin Clunes (“Doc Martin,” Shakespeare in Love) will play the title character in “Perrin,” which will be written by the original series writer and creator David Nobbs with “Men Behaving Badly” writer Simon Nye.
Eccentric sales executive Reginald Perrin is disillusioned with his life and unrewarding job at Sunshine Desserts. As the stresses of his mundane life surface, he pushes the boundaries of acceptable behavior at work. Finally, Reggie reaches a breaking-point, his mid-life crisis leading him to an extreme attempt at escape. He leaves his clothes on a bench at the beach, and fakes his own suicide. Instead of starting a new life somewhere
else, Reggie tours the countryside assuming a variety of disguises – from buck-toothed pig farmer to pompous explorer. In his attempt at finding fulfillment, he discovers he truly misses his wife, and he returns home to start a brand new life. But, will he fall back into the same old routine again and again?

The Office is one of my favorite shows. Every episode is very funny and entertaining!
I love The Office both the original and British version but I’m partial to Pam & Jim’s relationship.
I love the Office. Steve Carell leaves me in tears from laughing so hard!
I love this show. It is one sitcom that I will never get tired of.
That is a pretty wacky storyline.. something that can only be on TV
I especially love their facial expressions on The Office
i have not seen this but my daughter loves the show her fav is steve carrell
The type of humor in The Office could fall into Jump The Shark territory very easily if it’s not careful. Absurd humor must be executed with a light touch. OTOH, I love Reginald Perrin!
The Office is a great show. To be honest though, the british version is not the same without Dwight
Still, love the dry British humor nontheless.
I heard a lot of good things about this movie.
Good prize to win, hope I am lucky.
My favorite moment on “The Office” has to be David Brent’s horrific and hilarious dance at the office - Ricky Gervais is such a comic genius, and I think that was his shining hour (well, shining four minutes) on the series!
Please enter me. I would like to see this show. Thanks!
enter me please
It takes a few New Castle Ales to appreciate British humor…
“Beats. Bears. Battle Star Galactica.”
Haha, Dwight is hilarious.
He’s not Russell Brand, but he’s a great british comic.
Please enter me. Thanks!

I’ve never been able to get into The Office on a regular basis. Funny, but it never grabbed me. Reginald Perrin, on the other hand, has me by the funny bone every time I watch an episode. I would absolutely love to win this!
