Reggie Perrin at 50

Today sees the 50th Anniversary of the first broadcast of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. The classic BBC sitcom charts the antics of a middle-aged office worker who snaps, will take no more, and escapes. Reggie was the original Escapologist and I used to watch the series over breakfast when plotting my escape. You can watch watch the series and read the original books by David Nobbs. * New Escapologist Issue 19 and the anniversary edition of Escape Everything! are both available now.
