Reggie Perrin

Reggie Perrin (played by Martin Clunes) retells the story of a sales executive on the edge. An average man finding it increasingly difficult to put up with the monotony of life. A disappointing marriage, the office grind and the daily commute. Rebellion begins to build in his mind, in the form of increasingly surreal flights of fancy. And, slowly, Reggie begins to say what he really thinks... This new adaptation of the classic sitcom has been written by Simon Nye (Men Behaving Badly) and the writer and creator of the original Seventies show, David Nobbs.

    I didn't get where I am today by having preconceptions

    This is much better than expected, and better than it has any right to be. Remaking Reggie Perrin is like remaking Fawlty Towers, or Blackadder. At the start, it's a surreal re-creation of the original, and it doesn't quite work. It's like listening to a cover version of your favourite song... But as it gets into its stride it completely taps into the same subversive vein that made the original so brilliant (having original writer David Nobbs on board probably helps). Clunes echoes Rossiter's Perrin admirably without aping him, and the whole thing clicks into place. The targets are oddly similar (late 1970s UK = economically shafted by an incompetent Labour government, 2009 UK = ...) so the humour is still relevant. Reggie's melancholy is all too prescient.

    I really like this remake, and I'm eagerly anticipating that 10 blade razor...
