Reggie Perrin

After cracking up in front of his colleagues at a sales conference, Reggie has disappeared to the beach. But what should he do next? Walk out to sea, or start a new life? Without Reggie, Groomtech is in big trouble.

Reggie continues his search for a fulfilling new career, but money worries are snapping at his heels. Meanwhile, the Perrins discover they have a new next-door neighbour.

Reggie is the new boss at Groomtech. With the freedom to do what he wants, he decides to have some fun and introduce a new kind of product. But Nicola is feeling neglected, and is grateful for the attention of her new neighbour.

While Reggie is busy working on his new Grot product range, David reveals his true colours to Nicola at the swimming baths, and William becomes increasingly desperate in his attempts to get out of the wedding.

When Grot becomes a huge success, Reggie faces a difficult choice at Groomtech. Meanwhile, his attempts to make things up to Nicola lead to a shocking discovery.

With Nicola's affair with David out in the open, the Perrins clash as Nicola's father and Reggie's mother prepare to tie the knot. Back at Groomtech, Reggie needs to come up with a plan to scupper the chairman's plans to sell the company. Or should he just disappear again?
