This is a link post I got to stay up late for this as a nipper
Remaking with Martin Clunes was an act of stupidity on a par with Brexit

This is a normal post do you find
you can't finish the crossword like you used to, nasty taste in the mouth in the mornings, can't stop thinking about sex, can't start doing anything about sex, wake up with a sweat in the mornings, keep falling asleep during '"Play For Today"?

This is a normal post Yeah, I distrust remakes in general,
and while I don't have anything against Clunes himself, it feels like an act of sheer stupidity to try to outdo Rossiter.

Also... who was the target audience? The people who already loved Reggie were never going to want to see a remake. So that leaves people who never saw the original or never cared for it, and they don't seem like people who would be up for it either.

This is a normal post I actually think it could have worked if they'd changed it more.
If I remember, the books have a bleaker tone and more social comment, and I'd welcome a version more like that.

This is a normal post But then so was The Legacy of Reginald Perrin
where original got back together to fulfil Reggie's final wishes.
