Disillusioned by his unrewarding career at Sunshine Desserts, Reginald Perrin (Leonard Rossiter) has a mid-life crisis and fakes his own death. He hilariously attempts to "start over," but every time he breaks free, life comes full circle and the eccentric Reggie winds up exactly where he started. Adapted by David Nobbs from his darkly-comedic novels - the complete BBC series as seen on PBS.
