The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin: The Complete Second Series

The entire second series of David Nobbs' popular 1970s comedy. Having faked his own death, Reggie Perrin (Leonard Rossiter) has adopted the new identity of Martin Wellbourne, his own long-lost friend from Brazil, and re-married his wife, Elizabeth (Pauline Yates). Reggie has also obtained a job at his old firm, Sunshine Desserts, running his own memorial fund. However, tired of pretending to be somebody else, Reggie reveals his true identity - only to be sacked by boss C.J. (John Barron): 'I didn't get where I am today by pretending to be my long-lost friend from Brazil'. After an unsatisfying spell on a pig farm, Reggie comes up with a whole new concept in shopping: a store where everything sold is guaranteed one hundred per cent useless. He names his new enterprise Grot, and surprises even himself with his success.
