- The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Season One Episode Two - 15 Sept 1976
Life is beginning to get on top of Reggie as he starts to dictate abusive letters. Perhaps he needs a nice peaceful holiday. Unfortunately his daughter Linda asks him to take her and her husband Tom and their children,Adam and Jocasta,to a safari park,as Tom has crashed their own car. Being cooped up in a hot car in a safari park is too much for Reggie who gets out of the car for a walk and has to be rescued from the lions. - Zábava

The younger I was the funnier this is. The older I get, the sadder it becomes. Absolute masterpiece, and wouldn't have worked with anybody except Leonard Rossiter
elaborate on the sadder aspects with examples please. thank you
When I saw this as a teenager back in the 70s I used to laugh out loud. Now I watch it and I'm just as likely to cry. Superb programme. Read the books.
It really is quite poignant and dark in some respects and the closer you are to Reggie's age the more you see the stark reality of it all.
elaborate on the dark aspects with examples please. thank you @@unasperanza9803
My favorite dark comedy.
I remember watching this years ago. One of my favourite comedy series. Quite brilliant. Leonard Rossiter a comic genius.
My favorite comedy. Reggie P and All Creatures Great & Small were the pinnacle of Brit TV.
Leonard Rossiter such a talented actor so great in Rising Damp as well!!
Over the past 43 years I felt sure I remembered Pauline Yates saying "Look! Yak!", but in recent years I started to doubt myself. This video has put many demons to rest and for that I am thankful.
Masterful balance of comedy and pathos, I was too young to appreciate it when it first aired..but even as a kid the opening sequence and music hit me..I just didn’t understand why. Cheers for the upload ;)
elaborate on the aspects you better appreciate now please. thank you
@@JoBlogz As an adult I appreciate the melancholy and absurdity of the character- he is defiant in the face of absurdity and hopelessness. It’s about the absurdity of existence-in particular the male experience and middle class British family values. Are you British?
22:05 My father sang in the Pontarddulais Male Voice Choir! 1976 - by far the best summer ever. I was 18, young and free, with a motorcycle, and living in Pontarddulais!
I wasn't far from you. I lived in Llangennech! Bont is well known for its choir. Leonard Rossiter got the pronounciation pretty much spot on too. I've heard it been called worse.
@@muttley8818 I knew quite a few Hendy boys and maybe one or two Langennech. Even the nickname Muttley rings a bell, although that would have been quite a common nickname at one time. Where are you these days.PS. I'm off to bed so I on't reply to anything until tomorrow.
@@crispindry2815 It was a Suzuki T500, followed by a Norton Commando 750.
@@aussiesam01 These are some bikes eh. The Suzuki would be worth 4 or 5 grand. Lord knows what the Commander would fetch. I’ve been retired 22 years and have a Yamaha Virago 250 in the garage. In the uk I was one of the ton up boys in the Brighton run,many years ago.
@@colinbryan8265 they sure were gteat times and great bikes. Best time of my life. And to top it off Queen came out with bohemian rapsody.
GENIUS!!!!!!!!BAR NONE g
Masterpiece
I'm dreading the day i hear of a prequel or a sequel, just leave it be.
Jimmy speaking military banter. Classic!
Leonard Rossiter is really good actor he was really good in raising damp and pink panther 3.
now you see ,talking to yourself in 1976 meant you werre crazy---talking to yourself in 2023 means youre probably on the tiny phone stuffed in your ear NOW THATS CRAZY
Nice touch how the brother only speaks in some kind of military haiku
Brilliant
CJ WAS A BARSTUARD !!!😂 lol g
Right. Best saying ever. one word, just "Right" conveys a lot of emotion and pathos at about 19:00
I have known people like Tom. I came close to being one myself.
I always liked Doc Morrisey.
take two aspirin ;-)
Are you feeling 'chesty'?
for a month off i would have told him my johnson was falling off!!!
ahh wonderful'wonderful so un pc just natural jokes laughter fun relaxation brilliant.and absolutely no hurt pain insult or racial intended natural human nature, absolutely wonderful

I worked at a safari park when I was 15
very young Geoffrey Palmer keep expecting Dame Judi to pop up!!
Geoffrey Palmer Is great again.
super
@@paulharrison5977 Great!
My favorite Britcom
'The Smoking Room' is a great if lesser-well-known Uk sitcom (also on CZcams)
It's a different era (2000-ish) but you might like it if you enjoy the quality of writing / acting here :)

@Curtis Rupp You're welcome Curtis, no worries! 👍
- it's a slow burn (hehhh!) at first, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I found myself enjoying it :)
@@zetetick395 I had completely forgotten about "The Smoking Room".
'british comedy 'will do,thank you
Take the afternoon off...
24:22 Oh shut up!! 😂😂
that cj is an absolute terror as a boss but take his power away,along with his intimidation,and hes nothing funny how that works here
I also have a friend who hasn't as it were very much if at all for more month's than he cares to remember
my friend, too :D
funny
Pauline Yates was always the most pleasantly British beauty on the show, and Reggie's still fantasizing about his secretary. I'll never understand that.
It's like an upscale British AL Bundy
I wish they could repeat "Married with Children".
Audrey Roberts..?
Yes.
I WOULD Have GOT Rid Of JIMMY !!!!on the DOUBLE !!! 😔😂g
i wouldnt have offered that steak to that numbnuts thats for sure
It is the Human condition
I never saw a guy get straight up naked in the opening of a show on 70s American TV.
That's British TV for you.
£42000 houses, and i take it from her tone that that was a lot to pay for a house
I think that's exactly what my first one cost.
that must have been a good while after this was on tv. my dad's first house cost about £7000, that was late 1960s
It wouldn't be the Perrins' first house, though :) and he'd be on a fair whack for the time as a middle manager, I suspect.
In the seventies, £42k was a luxury home with many bedrooms and a large garden. Today, £42k is a deposit.
@@leopold7562 that sadly doesn’t go very far in London.
Sally Jane Spencer had magnificent norks
14:40
I've done biggies..... Haha
24:34 I love the thought of Pauline Yates looking at a cameraman sitting in the back seat and saying "I've done biggies"
poopies!
Was it Judy bennet Shula archer did the biggies voice ?
15:52 I 'd love to take Pauline Yates into the country for a quiet couple of days. It would be anything BUT quiet.
It would be fairly quiet: she died in 2015.
@@grahamnoble4887 yes, but 1977 P.Y. i mean
@@grahamnoble4887 it is 3am and I cannot sleep and am laughing myself silly over “ fairly quiet”. Well done.
@@grahamnoble4887 aw! cold.
Yet, Reggie's fantasizing about his secretary. Never got that.
Leonard Rossiter is as antsy, edgy and mercurial as he was when he played Rigsby in 'Rising Damp'.
He'd either got high blood pressure or ... I think he died of something to do with high blood pressure, tbh. Relatively young, too. In his 50s?
And his co-star in Rising Damp, Richard Beckinsale, died at 32 yrs of age!! And he could hardly be called antsy or on edge the way Rossiter was.
My Mam told me that Rossiter could be a very tactless person in his personal life. Sounds as if he didn't suffer fools gladly but he plays his parts so well I'm not sure whether that's true. He played the uptight lecherous, skinflint landlord, Rigsby, perfectly. And when he wasn't edgy he was especially funny as he reminded me of my Nan when she would ask about something personal.. kinda like talking but without sounding out the words in case somebody should overhear. His character worked so well with the young Beckinsale student in RD that it was always a perfect partnership for comedy.
I know Rossiter played as Fagan in a [musical?] version of 'Oliver'. I'm sure I saw some pics of him playing the part at the Liverpool Empire.
What a shame both actors died so young. One of the best reasons for CZcams to exist is to access these classic comedies although I much prefer stuff from the late 80s and 90s - 'Nightingales', 'Chelmsford 123', 'Red Dwarf S1-6', etc.
{Apparently I watched all of these a week ago and made comments. I have absolutely no memory of this.
Seems like Mr.Hyde is making an appearance again. I wish he'd stay away}
Apart from an extra-marital affair with BBC's Sue MacGregor, I never heard anything negative about Leonard Rossiter. He died of heart failure brought on by cardiomyopathy - an enlargement or thickening of the heart - when he was 57. He was performing a play and died in his dressing room whilst waiting to go on.
It's actually pretty sad when you see how many comedy actors from the 1970s died while in their prime (and sometimes while mid-series). James Beck is another one, and Arthur Brough in Are you Being Served, Lenard Pierce in Only Fools and Horses. I'm sure there are a few more I'm forgetting, but I just keep thinking how depressing it must have been back then enjoying your favourite comedy shows then having a twinge of tragedy associated with each one.
I think he was a shy man
