![]() ![]() One of the main factors which has ensured the series’ longevity is that the motivation behind each of the three original series is timeless. No one could argue about Leonard Rossiter being the driving force throughout the three series – after all, he was playing the lead – but what was rare compared to the rest of the sitcom genre was the quality of the whole cast. Who can forget the likes of the inept Doc Morrissey who suffered more ailments than his patients, wimpish David “Super!” Harris-Jones, Tony “Great!” Webster and Reggie’s loyal secretary, Joan?Īn endless supply of zany individuals meant the series didn’t rely solely on its main star to carry the show. Not only did the writer – who died in 2015, aged 80 – write funny dialogue, he also created strong and memorable characters, all of whom transferred well to the small screen. Reggie’s circuitous life was depicted beautifully through Nobbs’ clever and uproarious scripts. So what were the magic ingredients that made the show so popular with audiences back in the 70s and even now, whenever we’re fortunate enough to be treated to a re-run of this fine comedy? TV history is full of formulaic comedies with predictable plots and characters, but that could never be said of Reggie Perrin. Copy link A decentered black square over a white square.
