dan.adams Review of Reggie Perrin

Reggie Perrin (2009–2010)

Good try-but don't give up up your general practice Doc...

[2/10 · 1 February 2010]

I didn't get where I am today by watching remakes of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin! But I DID watch episode one of Reggie Perrin, this evening-right after having had a good laugh with Doc Martin. Mostly Martin Clunes got laughs for his Doc Martinisms-he really didn't bring RP to life.As the imagined "office water cooler romance" developed, I saw the Clunes of MBB emerging. I'm a great fan of MC,he is one of today's comedic stars.Don't want to be to hard on supporting actors(all of them) but by and large their efforts were pathetic. CJ was a definite cj..........and what a dill Reggie's secretary is! I think bringing Perrin back from his water grave is ...a mission impossible!
