5.0 out of 5 stars Reginald Perrin -- the best BritCom ever!, October 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin (Collection Set 2) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I didn't get where I am today without knowing that "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" is, quite simply, the best Britcom -- no, the best television comedy -- ever made. Leonard Rossiter (Reggie Perrin) is brilliant, and the entire cast is superb. My wife and I have been watching these shows over and over for more than 20 years, and my teenage daughter is hooked as well. Our conversation is laced with Reggie-isms (sometimes to the bafflement of our friends and relatives). I recommend that you promptly go to what can only be called the bank, get some money, and buy both sets (don't fail to buy set 2; it's even funnier than set 1). After you've seen them, you'll agree: Good; splendid; tickety-boo. And then you can join me in urging Amazon to offer set 3 (the final one in the series), as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today Without A 3rd Series!", November 28, 2000

This review is from: The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin (Collection Set 2) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There WAS indeed a third series in the Reggie Perrin saga!! Series 3 featured one of my favorite sequences: C.J. as a street bum/minstrel singing "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today!" as Reggie walks by! It's been YEARS since I last saw Series 3, but I do remember that part well enough! Sadly, BFS Video has stated to me that they have no plans to release Series 3 to video(with NO caveats such as "in the immediate future"--sounds like a definite "no go").

The character of Reginald Iolanthe Perrin is one of the most finely-tuned creations from the golden era of UK television. Oddly, it remains as relevant today if not more so than when it was written. The abundance of strong characters delivering hilarious exchanges of essentially normal rubbish is a joy. All of what happens is capable of happenning (if it hasn't already) in real life. As far as situation comedy goes, there is no greater situation than life itself.
