Dans les milieux politiques, l’inquiétude monte et une contre-attaque se met en place pour arrêter la juge trop curieuse. Mais il est trop tard pour agir car, ivre du pouvoir qu’elle sent détenir, la juge Killman est déterminée à aller jusqu’au bout de son enquête. Pour cela, elle est prête à tout sacrifier, sa sécurité et même son mari qui ne supporte plus la vie infernale qu’elle lui fait vivre.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin [BBC Comedy] (Complete) Movies

Posted by TopCat at Dec. 25, 2008

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is a novel and a British sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter in the title role. Both book and TV series were written by David Nobbs, and the screenplay for the first series was adapted by Nobbs from the novel, though subplots in the novel were considered too dark or risqué for television and toned down or omitted, an example being the relationship between Perrin's daughter and his brother-in-law.

The original three series, all of the same name, were broadcast between 1976 and 1979; a fourth, The Legacy of Reginald Perrin, also written by Nobbs, followed in 1996.
