With Martin Clunes, Fay Ripley, Neil Stuke, aired on 24 April 2009

[@gedrooney9305]

I came here straight after a binge of the original series..cheers for the upload ;)

[@MsRosieA]

I’ve just come from a clip of the original series and I see that Reggie is still on his way to Sunshine Desserts… But what a clever twist to make it just a company sharing the building!

[@danielwilder7835]

cannot abide remakes but this series stands out for me as one that actually works

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

"As i always say anyone who can bleed for 5 days without dying deserve a bunch of flowers every now and again" What a great line.

[@odd_shoes]

This is a good remake. Much better than others made from British Comedy Classics; eg. Dad's Army or Porridge

[@andrewsmith74]

The new version of Porridge is awful.

[@Beelzebubbbbles]

There is one good thing about this series: it's so awful that I went out and bought the box set of the originals with the late, great Leonard Rossiter.

[@geoffreycarson2311]

IM 67 and L Rossiter WAS BRILLIANT !!!BUT I LIKE THIS TOO !!!OH Jasmine 😘😘😘😘😘😅g

[@AliFareedMC]

That's why I thought about starting with the remake first lol to avoid disappointment

[@LVAOMEGA]

R: "How are you Vikky?"\ V: "Mff" R: "Oh well another 56 years and it'll all be over!" XD

[@jacobsymes8066]

Brings back memories

[@ManCave1972]

This show was well written and executed, and Clunes was ideal for it, but it is so hard to remake something so classic and of its times as the original. Let’s face it, the BBC is incapable of making anything even as good as this remake anymore.

[@JudeisObscure]

Thank you for uploading this! Martin Clunes is hilarious.

[@songsofthecentury3909]

Yes True!!!!

[@geoffreycarson2311]

BRILLIANT !!!!THE Ic3 ON THE TRAIN He Cut His lead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol g

[@_PrimetimePranks]

Thanks for this! I loved the original, glad to finally see the remake.

[@megasteinman]

love this thanks 2 whoever uploaded

[@davidcolon4284]

it really is a good show they should bring it back put a few more bucks in and bam please bring it back im gonna start a petition be on the look out ill tag it from my fb

[@applejuice5272]

It seems that Sunshine Desserts' jellies bounced the company back in to profit. I didn't get where I am today without Sunshine Desserts' jellies bouncing the company back in to profit!

[@peggymount]

Thanks for uploading. A remake equally as good as the original. Martin Clunes was perfectly cast as Reggie. Great stuff.

[@RussellFogg-ew1ju]

This is funny, I accidentally Came across it on Amazon…..anyone recommend any other series like this?

[@OccasionalPigeon]

I came here from Amazon too. It’s good! Leonard Rossiter is 👑 tho

[@stevebloodymckenna]

Doc Martin, I've never seen you smile so much!

[@MrJetsmets]

JUST GREAT..

[@bazzaoffreshwater]

This show wasn't shown on TV in Australia and I have just discovered it, saw the original which mostly went over my head as I was too young. We do get a lot of British TV but not this which is a shame, come on ABC get with it. Leonard Rossiter is a hard act to follow , Martin Clunes does a great job and with the exception of the "why reggie is late" lines the jokes are up to date and original.

[@georgepom328]

As remakes go not bad but still not on the same level as the original

[@songsofthecentury3909]

This is a Brilliant Comedy, as good as the original. Clunes is a great comedy actor.

[@songsofthecentury3909]

Fantastic.....

[@quicksilverlives]

Thanks for uploading this series. I like it better than the original one. Martin Clunes is so good.

[@stevebostock8730]

Very funny . As a former commuter to an office job this hits the target. Brilliant.

[@briky71]

omg please tell me they didnt remake this????????they did .OH DEAR

[@BruceAlarie]

$ perhaps?

[@cacampbell3654]

Had never been exposed to this, or the “original” version so many talk about in the comments below, before today! Don’t understand why so many are so critical! I think it’s funny, witty, intelligent, etc.

[@crystalheart9]

Thanks so much for uploading this :D

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

ive only seen one of the original.. i think they are both great.. a bit of lunacy never hurt anyone

[@JavertRA]

We watched this first and are currently watching the original (my parents had already seen both) and I think both have their merits. This is more screwball, the original was more dramatic with Reggie's breakdown.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

brilliant and underrated series (with AWFUL canned laughter)

[@cacampbell3654]

Tony England: I think the “AWFUL canned laughter” is part of the satire/mockery/humour!

[@songsofthecentury3909]

It is Brilliant & the laughter is real.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

@@songsofthecentury3909 Of course it isn't real, man, be sensible.

[@LVAOMEGA]

I love it when Reggie throws his suitcase into the room! XD Thank you for uploading this!!! You're so awesome! I'm gonna subscribe to you! =D

[@OccasionalPigeon]

Didn’t even know there was a remake. I prefer the Leonard Rossiter one but this is okay too

[@timnolan4407]

Just found this. I hope 🤞 it's good. It'll take some . To beat the original . With Mr Rossiter.

[@ThePirateofWar]

is it possible to get higher quality uploads thanks for uploading this btw

[@crossgearedviking1559]

I hope I'm lucky enough to get a secretary that looks like Vicky, even if she isn't all that bright. what a gorgeous woman!

[@badlydrawnsmiffy]

Russell Howards sister, Kerry.

[@barrycross2585]

I love the original and have put off bothering with an unnecessary remake, I'll continue watching this episode but won't see any more.

[@jasoneaton9477]

God this generation know how to take the fun out of everything and make it excruciatingly boring.. I'm watching the original now

[@geoffreycarson2311]

Bleed For 5 Days !!!!!🎈😳😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂OH WELL I WILL GO In THE KITCHEN !!!!LOL BRILLIANT g

[@87654321j]

@ 6:06 its Jim from horrible histories wow just realised

[@videosearchmen]

I've got a question...more to all youtube channels.... why the fu*k must it be uploaded in some many pieces...

[@adroharv9213]

why exactly is what you're left wondering when seeing this? I'm guessing It didn't cause any impact because it's the first I've even heard it was a thing

[@flyingtoilet1]

@tantracecilia Are you going to upload series 2?

[@sallyfieldrequired]

I had no idea that he wals past sunshine deserts

[@DuranFan09]

4:00 to 5:30 - Matthew Malone :-D

[@peterburke1709]

Martin clunes and fay Ripley played a married couple before in a BBC adaption of fungus the bogeyman

[@Trillock-hy1cf]

I like Martin Clunes in 'Men behaving badly' and 'Doc. Martin', but not sure that he is really suitable for this show, because it keeps reminding me of Leonard Rossiter, the original. The same is 'Minder' when Dennis packed in playing Terry, in 1994, and then the show was brought back with Shane Richie playing his part in 2008. These remakes never really work, because the originals played for many years, and people got used to them. Also just as bad, is the BBC bringing in a remake of some 3 lost episodes by new characters..........and I doubt it will work either.

[@BruceAlarie]

doc martin!THAT was this guys claim to fame

[@Trillock-hy1cf]

@@BruceAlarie It was the remake of the Reggie Perrin show, and like all remakes, Martin Clunes didn't really fit. Much like Dad's Army remake, it didn't work....

[@AceHermes]

Oh dear God.................

[@HHM706]

Not sure why you would want to remake a classic??? This was incredibly misconceived and very unfunny🤦

[@armanidavincci]

indeed

[@geoffreycarson2311]

OHHHHHHHHHHHJasmin 😅😅😅😅😀g

[@dancingmad23]

I Still Cant Believe Vicky Is Russell Howard Sister She :D

[@isleofnewyork]

Martin Clunes is great, but the laugh track ruins this version. I would stick to the older one (1976), where the fake laughs are not quite so loud and frequent.

[@RayM53]

Never actually seen this before. Old format meets Men Behaving Badly. Nothing wrong with Martins performance but just a thinly reworked plot.

[@talstory]

agree with puppi3000 - this is mildly amusing but I remember the original as funnier. Maybe puppi3000 can help?

[@BruceAlarie]

a bit painful

[@BruceAlarie]

he will always be that dry boring forgettable detective guy from a few years back===what was the name of that show again??

[@Howler15]

@tantracecilia cuz hes right or at least put remake rubbish in the title

[@mikedaniels3009]

Pathetic, Sacrilege. Leo Rossiter would turn in his grave and David was still young in 2009 and needed the money he sold his masterpiece for on this treachery.

[@peckerdecker]

This is NOT funny. Martin Clunes seems very "forced " as reggie perrin. Reg perrin 2009 version-Rubbish

[@MrMatthiasSchneider]

What is this? Sacrilege!!!!

[@BruceAlarie]

however they are spot on with the entire human race technologically in their own bloated pompous little world--- we are literally turning into the Borg

[@rickrolltide]

Isn't the lead married to Sarah Alexander from Coupling? If so, lucky guy!!! ;)

[@andrewsmith74]

No, the lead actor is Martin Clunes. Sarah Alexander is married to Peter Serafinowicz.

[@eoghanlyng5074]

What is the purpose of this remake?

[@1292liam]

I like Vicky

[@tamikawoods4034]

ugh.. poor remake

[@mikegray002]

Shocking remake not funny at all should never have been made. Has not got a touch on the original series which was brilliant.This version is just total boring PC modern day crap.

[@neenD]

vicky = Russell Howard's sister :)

[@axeman2638]

Sacrilege. Tragic, pathetic sad.

[@DenkyManner]

It's much more formulaic and dull than the original. Feels very normal, the original was a snappy farce with real rage underneath, this is flat and tired.

[@circle2867]

now I've not watched the original and I seen this a few years ago. but this was quite funny. do you see much better on the BBC nowadays? definitely not.

[@ekcentrik]

Is Martin Clunes the only actor on British television? He seems to be everywhere. There is such a thing as overexposure. Give the younger actors some work.

[@shellc6743]

Absolutely dreadful ... who had this stupid idea ?

[@29au81]

Canned Laughter,,,,Shite,,usually like what Martin does but bloody hell ..

[@thejacalofskaro74]

I prefer the original, but this is good, it's just hard not to compare all the time. The only thing which really annoys me is the dreadful canned laughter.

[@davefoster3918]

Martin Cline's is the only funny thing in this rather depressing series

[@neilreading3552]

The laughter track is over the top, "i wont" is amusing not funny it doesn't merit a big laugh.

[@mikejones-go8vz]

Canned laughter is pathetic, the original is a thousand times better

[@stanleywhite611]

This is total rubbish . The original was great

[@markye1872]

Fucking appalling.

[@roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855]

Not even remotely funny. RIP LR….

[@paulwoolerton664]

This is absolute shit compared to the classic.

[@crabbyoldgamer3028]

+Paul Woolerton They re=imagined the show: what if that good show was crap?

[@bipinmistry3590]

Extremely unfunny ! 🤮👎
