The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin - s01e03 - The Sunday Extraordinary Business Meeting

[@jayne-annephillips8000]

Oh boy - straight back to my childhood! Brilliant writing - excellent acting - has stood the test of time too. Geoffrey Palmer was a treat too xx

[@Wilayaat]

This. Rising Damp. Love Thy Neighbour. On The Buses. Fawlty Towers. Only Fools And Horses. A period when British comedy was absoultely fantastic; superb writing and excellent acting that still stands the test of time.

[@ianjeffery6744]

I'd forgotten how hilarious this series was (and is). Leonard Rossiter was just...super!

Leonard Rossiter at his absolute best in this every time I watch it on dvd I proper howl with laughter lol 😂

[@barrycuda3769]

I can fully understand that, especially this episode , it's marvelous. 🙂👍

[@stephenchecksfield632]

@@barrycuda3769 yes agreed indeed it's one dvd I can honestly watch nearly every day and laugh so much at him and his mannerisms only my second favourite sitcom by the late Leonard Rossiter was Rising damp equally as good 😊

[@stephenchecksfield632]

@@barrycuda3769 also I remember the late Leonard Rossiter in the sitcom Trippers Day largely forgotten these days however and I did remember the sitcom Slingers Day with the late Bruce Forsythe but I never found it all that funny to be honest 😔

Superb, brings back memories.. Between this and Rising Damp we were certainly kept entertained - not like todays rubbish.

Everytime Reginald Perrin says "Oh My God!" he sounds like Rigsby from Rising Damp...

[@BruceAlarie]

he IS rigsby from rising damp LOL

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Kids and Tiswas? But later Jimmy seems to be a bachelor. Also... Geoffrey Palmer seems to genuinely find Leonard Rossiter hilarious. Can't wipe the smile of his face at times!

[@trevormatthews6005]

In the original books Jimmy's wife was an alcoholic and spent the house keeping on drink hence his cock up on the catering front speech was to cover this up don't know if in later books he left his wife

Here we find out Reggie's middle name - Iolanthe. R.I,P - a hidden gem!

[@miguelrotaeche8582]

I spent a summer in England in the 70's and there was never a moment for that in that Country. This episode is very realistic. I hope for them it has changed. And I was not married. But this is only by the way.

I don't understand why he is so enraptured by Joan. Like, at all.

[@michaelhughes4466]

I've always thought the same. His wife (Pauline Yates) was far better looking, though June Whitfield would have been just as good.

"Headaches in the medicine cabinet if I have one of my thundery aspirins". "Give my mother your best regards". "I think the view would be better through the window." "Give our drinks another guest". "Edith Piaf, 4-49". R's extraordinary timing turns what are otherwise merely amusing lines into absolutely hilarious ones 😂😂
