Revival of the 1970s sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Creator David Nobbs co-wrote these six 30-minute episodes with the help of Men Behaving Badly writer Simon Nye.

Reggie Perrin retells the story of a sales executive on the edge. An average man finding it increasingly difficult to put up with the monotony of life, the disappointing marriage, the office grind and the daily commute.

Rebellion begins to build in his mind, in the form of increasingly surreal flights of fancy. And, slowly, Reggie begins to say what he really thinks, to his wife, to his boss, to his fellow commuters... and, most dangerously of all, to his new colleague, the beautiful Jasmine Strauss.

Executive producer Phil Clarke told Broadcast magazine that the aim of this project (Objective's first studio sitcom and its first comedy commission for BBC1) was to deliver an accessible family show for a pre-watershed slot.

Martin Clunes plays the lead character, and an impressive cast list, including Wendy Craig and Geoffrey Whitehead, provided ensemble support.

Clarke continues: "Reggie's still a man in crisis with the modern world, but what's interesting is to look at where the world has changed since the 1970s and where it hasn't. He doesn't, for example, dictate memos to his secretary... he uses email. It's an opportunity to comment on the modern world without being heavy-handed."

The forthcoming second series will find suburban sales executive Reggie back from the brink with a new zest for his once monotonous life. But will Reggie's ideas for a new way of life appeal to his wife Nicola, who is already at breaking point?

As Reggie tries to slam the door on his old life, can he rid himself of those surreal flights of fancy? And could Reggie's ideas really bring him the fulfilment he seeks?

Reggie Perrin returns once again with Martin Clunes in the title role of the troubled everyman.

Simon Nye, the writer behind Men Behaving Badly, and David Nobbs, the creator of the original Seventies show The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin, have joined forces once more to pen the next instalment of the popular sitcom.

The beautiful Jasmine is the new head of balms and lubricants at Reggie's company. Elegant, softly-spoken, intelligent and witty - it's hardly surprising that Reggie is becoming besotted with her.

However, his obsession comes at a cost - it is starting to jeopardise his work to the extent he may be fired. His inappropriate screen saver is clearly not going to impress when it is discovered, and his inappropriate office kiss most definitely strayed over the border of acceptability. However, further into the series Jasmine reveals herself to be lonely... so perhaps there is a chance there will be romance between her and Reggie after all.

Jasmine is, of course, played by Lucy.
