Synopsis:

Martin Clunes returns as the bored sales executive Reggie Perrin, an average man finding it increasingly difficult to put up with the monotony of life. Out of the ashes of his breakdown, Reggie Perrin creeps back from the brink with a new zest for his once monotonous life. The once-frustrated commuter and disposable razor sales executive has come up with an alternative plan - one where he can bail out of his misery-inducing career and finally live for the moment. Then, in a moment of red mist, his wife Nicola (Fay Ripley) loses her teaching job and Reggie's laid-back new lifestyle of oil painting, pointless therapy and baking is under threat. Reggie is sucked back into the world of men's personal grooming, but this time he's armed with the freedom to do as he wishes...

Reggie Perrin has a cushy job as head of innovation in a men's body care products firm, but philosophically hates meaningless office life.

Yet he never does anything about this life, even tends to help his hated significant others out of a pickle.
