Reggie Perrin - Season 2 (2010)

The staff express doubts as to the viability of Reggie selling his 'Grot' products - and indeed as to his sanity - but the goods fly off the shelves. The Groomtech chairman,hugely impressed,gives Reggie his next assignment,to cut half the staff. Nicola,feeling neglected as Reggie embraces his work with great enthusiasm,initially turns down David after he makes a pass at her at the swimming baths but still ends up ringing him. William,desperate to avoid matrimony,tries a feeble ploy to persuade Marion that he is gay,though it fails to work.

Reggie resists the board's efforts to make him conform and stalls when told he must sack a staff member,an announcement which sends Anthony and Steve falling over themselves to keep in with their boss. Told that Groomtech will ultimately be sold and he will be fired ,Reggie plots his revenge,including a naff and sexist advertising campaign featuring a leering Chris Jackson. He is so busy working on this he neglects Nicola and when he tries to make up for it with a birthday surprise,he ends up getting the surprise as he finds her in bed with David.

After setting to work on David's house with a nail-gun,Reggie moves in with Anthony in his chaotic flat and exposes Nicola's infidelity in his best man's speech at his mother's wedding. Groomtech is sold but nobody is sacked. However Reggie is demoted whilst Chris gets his old job back.Nicola comes to the flat where Reggie is enjoying the single life,to tell him that she now has a job and wants him to come home. Reggie is not certain if he even wants to stay in the country and,after Nicola has gone,packs a case.
