The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
Sick of his marriage, his family and the daily grind of his job, Reginald Perrin comes up with the only logical solution for such a deep midlife crisis: He fakes his own death. After various attempts at creating a new life, Reginald adopts a disguise and returns to his old life to find that nothing much has changed. He even re-marries his wife, Elizabeth, after wooing her at his funeral, and he gets a job at his former company, where he manages his own memorial fund. Eventually Reginald tires of being someone else and reveals his true self. The much-loved sitcom, based on a novel by David Nobbs, starred Leonard Rossiter in the title role and aired for three series beginning in 1976.
