Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I waited for decades, literally, to be able to see the complete series again ... only to find it had been bowdlerized. Shame on them.
What is particularly galling about this censorship, is that the portions removed were making fun of the types of people who would flee a neighborhood just because somebody "different" moved in. Apparently, somebody who had no clue as to what was really going on, saw CJ in blackface and Tom with a turban, and decided that we would be scandalized by seeing it.
Leftist censorship is no better than rightist.

Opening with a naked Reggie running into the sea, this groundbreaking BBC comedy series tells the story of a man desperate to escape his daily monotony. Adapted by David Nobbs from his darkly-comedic novel, and powered by the unique performance of Leonard Rossiter, this brilliant satire had the world "cracking up" over one man's nervous breakdown.
Reginald Perrin (Rossiter) has a respectable career at Sunshine Desserts, a happy marriage and two less than satisfactory children. But the pressures of the rat race are beginning to push Reggie over the edge. The mere mention of his mother-in-law conjures the image of a hippopotamus, the word 'earwig' keeps creeping into his conversations, and his thoughts are repeatedly interrupted by outrageous fantasies involving his secretary – what's an overstressed food firm executive to do?
INCLUDES ALL 3 SEASONS (21 EPISODES) PLUS:"The Very Best of Leonard Rossiter" – the ultimate film review of the acclaimed actor including unforgettable highlights, archival interviews with Rossiter and first-hand reflections from four of his Reginald Perrin co-stars.
"Reginald Perrin Christmas Special Sketch" – the long-lost sketch, which reunited the cast three years after the completion of the series; originally broadcast as part of BBC's 1982 "The Funny Side of Christmas" special.
