The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
''The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin'' is a series of novels that developed into a British sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter in the title role. Both the books and television series were written by David Nobbs, and the screenplay for the first series was adapted by Nobbs from the novel, though subplots in the novel were considered too dark or risqué for television and toned down or omitted, an example being the relationship between Perrin's daughter and his brother-in-law.
The story concerns a middle-aged middle manager, Reginald "Reggie" Perrin, who is driven to bizarre behaviour by the pointlessness of his job at Sunshine Desserts. The sitcom proved to be a subversion of others of the era, which were often based on bland middle-class suburban family life.
The first novel in the series, ''The Death of Reginald Perrin'', was published in 1975, with later editions retitled to match the title of the television series. Subsequent novels (''The Return of Reginald Perrin'' () and ''The Better World of Reginald Perrin'' ()) were written by Nobbs with the express goal of being adapted into the second and third television series, respectively; Rossiter did not want to take the series forward unless it continued to be grounded in novels.〔David Nobbs, ''I Didn't Get Where I Am Today'', Heinemann, 2003, pp. 219-222.〕
The original three television series, all of the same name, were broadcast between 1976 and 1979; a fourth, ''The Legacy of Reginald Perrin'', also written by Nobbs, followed in 1996.
