The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Reggie''': "It ''almost'' rhymes and scans properly, that's the important thing. This is exactly what I'm paying you for."

'''Tom:''': "Thank you. Well, I'll just give you one more, perhaps: 'Grot is the ideal place for gifts, because they're all on one floor, so there aren't any lifts.' They aren't all of that standard, of course." }}

** [[As Time Goes By|Geoffrey Palmer]] as Reggie's brother-in-law, Jimmy.

** CJ is played by John Barron, who later had a recurring role as Sir Ian Whitchurch on ''[[Yes Minister]]''

* [[National Stereotypes]]: Intentionally invoked and later subverted with Seamus Finnegan, the Irish labourer who Reggie hires as his admin officer in a pub (quaffing Guiness, naturally). A self-confessed hard-drinking lazy gambler, he soon turns out to be [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|hyper-competent]], much to Reggie's annoyance.

* [[Not That There's Anything Wrong with That]]: One of the boss' toadies is [[Mistaken for Gay]] after overindulging at a party and does a desperate Not That There's Anything Wrong With That speech, going overboard with panic when he thinks his boss might be reading more into his use of the stock phrase "Some of my best friends are ..." than he intends.

* [[Running Gag]]: Plenty, often [[Once an Episode]] at least. One example is Reggie drifting into an [[Imagine Spot]] of a hippo wallowing in mud every time his mother-in-law is mentioned.

** 18 minutes late, correcting [[TV Tropes]] entry, missed 7:15 train, had to wait for 7:30 train.

** Great!

** Super!

* [[Violent Glaswegian]]: Kenny McBlane, the cook from Series Three who is always muttering indeciperable gibberish and almost always weilding something very sharp in his time on-camera.

* [[Yes-Man]]: Whenever Reggie or CJ suggests something, [[Those Two Guys|Tony and David]] respectively say "Great!" and "Super!"
