"That's it, we're moving to Cornwall. I'll teach surfing, you can open a tin mine." As frustrated commuter Reggie Perrin (Martin Clunes) continues to be infuriated by the tedium of his life, his marriage to Nicola (Fay Ripley) is also feeling the strain in this slightly amusing sitcom remake.
Rachel Ward, The Telegraph, 15th May 2009For once there seems to be a consensus of opinion around the water cooler - this remake of Reggie Perrin is extremely funny. Tonight, Reggie (Martin Clunes) heads off to Finland with the beautiful Jasmine to spearhead Groomtech's thrust into the global marketplace, and for the first time his wife (Fay Ripley) senses that all is not well in their marriage. "He's changed," she says. "He's stopped taking disposable razors seriously." Reggie's take on globalisation has a universal appeal, but the funniest moment is the receptionist struggling to remember something important.
