麻豆约拍

David Nobbs's classic comedy continues. It's 1975 and Reggie has reached the bottom: his farcical non-affair, his rage at the 8.16 from Surbiton always being 11 minutes late, his impotence, his need to keep saying 'parsnip', they have all led to the moment where he gives a drunken speech at the fruit growers association conference from which there is no going back. But Reggie has a plan - he is going to turn his back on the rat race, fake his own death and rise again as a new man and embrace freedom. But there is one problem he can't stop thinking about home.

Part of the Working Titles season looking at the changing world of work.
