Reggie Perrin at 50
Today sees the 50th Anniversary of the first broadcast of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.
The classic BBC sitcom charts the antics of a middle-aged office worker who snaps, will take no more, and escapes.
Reggie was the original Escapologist and I used to watch the series over breakfast when plotting my escape.
You can watch watch the series and read the original books by David Nobbs.

New Escapologist Issue 19 and the anniversary edition of Escape Everything! are both available now.
