Reggie Perrin

Reggie Perrin is feeling frustrated and alienated after ten years working at Groomtech. With his wife Nicola too busy for him, he becomes besotted with new colleague Jasmine.

Reggie finds two unwelcome intruders interfering in his marriage to Nicola: his mother and his wife's father. As if that isn't enough, his ill-advised advances at the office bring a third outsider into the marriage, in the shape of the lovely Jasmine.

Ever searching for a new diversion, Reggie spends a day guest teaching at his wife's high school. But when he invites the class to spend a day with him at Groomtech, Reggie shows his judgment with teenagers is just about as bad as it is with adults.

When Reggie goes to Helsinki on a business trip with Jasmine, his marriage to Nicola faces its sternest test. Meanwhile, Chris has concerns that Reggie is faltering.

Groomtech's future is on the line, and it's up to Reggie to save the day. He must help his boss, Chris, persuade the board of directors that Chris is the right man for the job. As for himself, Reggie remains unconvinced he is the right man for any job.

Reggie's crisis comes to a head as Groomtech holds its office party. Can Reggie Perrin take any more?
