  • The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin és una sitcom britànica protagonitzada per Leonard Rossiter en el paper principal. Es basa en una sèrie de novel·les escrites per David Nobbs. Es va produir de 1976 a 1979. Va adaptar el guió per a la primera sèrie de la primera novel·la. Algunes de les seves subtrames es van considerar massa fosques o exigibles per a la televisió i es van modificar o ometre. La història tracta d'un directiu mitjà de mitjana edat, Reginald "Reggie" Perrin, que es revela a la primera sèrie amb 46 anys, que comença a presentar un comportament estrany per la insensibilitat del seu treball a Sunshine Desserts. La sitcom va demostrar ser una subversió d'altres de l'època, que sovint es basaven en una vida familiar suburbana de classe mitjana. La primera novel·la de la sèrie, The Death of Reginald Perrin (la mort de Reginald Perrin), es va publicar el 1975. Les edicions posteriors van ser retitulades per coincidir amb el títol de la sèrie de televisió. Posteriors novel·les de Nobbs (The Return of Reginald Perrin [1977] i The Better World of Reginald Perrin [1978]) van ser escrites per Nobbs amb l'objectiu exprés d'adaptar-se a la segona i tercera sèrie de televisió, respectivament; Rossiter no volia tirar endavant la sèrie a menys que es continués basant en novel·les. Les tres sèries de televisió originals, totes amb el mateix nom, es van emetre entre 1976 i 1979; una quarta, The Legacy of Reginald Perrin, també escrit per Nobbs, seguit el 1996. Al Regne d'Espanya, TVE va emetre només en castellà les dues primeres temporades, amb el títol traduït literalment: Caída y auge de Reginald Perrin. (ca)
  • The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is a British sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter in the title role. It is based on a series of novels written by David Nobbs and produced from 1976 to 1979. Nobbs adapted the screenplay for the first series from the novel. Some of its subplots were considered too dark or risqué for television and were toned down or omitted. The story concerns a middle-aged middle manager, Reginald "Reggie" Perrin, who reveals himself in the first series to be aged 46, 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. Later editions were retitled to match the title of the television series. The Return of Reginald Perrin (1977) and The Better World of Reginald Perrin (1978) were written by Nobbs to be adapted for the second and third television series; Rossiter did not want to take the series forward unless it continued to be grounded in novels. 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. A new dramatisation of the original novels by John Canter, without the complications introduced in the TV series, was broadcast on BBC Radio Four in November, 2020. (en)
