The Better World Of Reginald Perrin

(Reginald Perrin)

From the bestselling author of Going Gently and the hugely successful autobiography I Didn't Get Where I Am Today.

This hilarious episode in the remarkable exploits of Reginald Iolanthe Perrin follows our hero on his most ambitious venture yet.

Setting up a commune strictly for the middle-class and middle-aged, Reggie's therapy centre nurtures its clients, encouraging them to find the love and goodness that lurks deep inside.

And he's gathered together the unlikeliest of staff to help him- including C.J. (for people's work problems), David Harris-Jones (handling their sex problems), plus Tony Webster (culture), his son-in-law Tom (sport) and Doc Morrissey (psychology).

With a team like this, how can the indomitable, unconventional R.I.P. ever fail in his bid to create a Better World?
