I have loved the new series of Reggie Perrin. I think the way he conducts himself with the outward front of near normal and then the inner outrageousness seems incredibly familiar.
I kept that thought to myself until my OH said the other day that he thought Reggie and I were remarkably similar in our outspokeness /increasingly outrageous comments.
Plus the frustration and inner rages. and if anyone wishes to have a go at me seeing a degree of adhder in a fictional character - sorry.

Is reggie perrin ADHD? Oh wait there's another area for that...
Was it good? I couldn't bring myself to watch it, Leonard Rossiter will always be my Reggie!

Well, we had exactly the same feeling initially - and were cycnical about it being as good as the original we were brought up with. I think we watched it expecting to find it lacking compared to the original.
It's an updated version with plenty of nods to the original series, which meant that there was a sort of 'in joke' edge to it. The company building where the current Reggie works is right next door to an old building called Sunshine Desserts - that sort of thing.
and Reggie's commuter train is still delayed by 27 mins every day!
