David Haig stars as the suburban comic hero who's had enough of the rat race

Reginald Perrin is having a crisis; he's lost his drive at work and in the bedroom and he keeps wanting to say 'parsnip'.

David Nobbs's classic comedy dramatised by Jon Canter.

David Nobbs's classic comedy introduced the world to Reginald Iolanthe Perrin, the suburban dwelling executive who has had enough; enough of working for his bullying boss at Sunshine Desserts, enough of the trains not running on time, enough of being impotent. His behaviour becomes increasingly eccentric until he makes a life changing decision.

Part of the Working Titles season looking at the changing world of work.
