Reggie Perrin

Reginald 'Reggie' hates his cozy, well-paid but boring routine life as in Groomtech's department head of disposable razors. This time, crazy, power-hungry CEO Chris orders Reggie and his over-eager, half-wit sycophant assistants Anthony and Steve to come up with a novel use for pumice. Meanwhile Reggie's wife's feminist discussion group crowds him out of his own living room.

Whilst deciding against suicide Reggie sees himself at a crossroads and resigns from Groomtech,planning to lead a self-sufficient life growing his own vegetables. But money is tight,Nicola is fearful for her job and the best the Job Centre can offer Reggie is shelf-stacking. Mother is planning to marry Nicola's dad and the therapist is rubbish. With Groomtech facing their largest decrease in disposable razors in years and Chris begging him to return,should Reggie sacrifice his principles and once more chain himself to the capitalist life?
