Press
In this sitcom's original 1970s version, Reggie Perrin was a character who could do something bizarre at any moment - his frustration with the daily, middle-class grind was palpable. Tonight the BBC's remake splutters into its third episode but there's still no sign that Martin Clunes's Reggie is a tenth of the man Leonard Rossiter brought to life.
Matt Warman, The Telegraph, 8th May 2009Despite the canned laughter, this sitcom does raise genuine titters.
