    The Outside Child by Nina Bawden

    Jane sets off alone on the most important journey of her life and makes a shock discovery.

David Nobbs' classic BBC TV sitcom introduced the world to Reginald Iolanthe Perrin - 'Reggie' - the suburban dwelling executive who's had enough. Enough of working for his bullying boss at Sunshine Desserts, enough of the trains not running on time and enough of being impotent. His behaviour becomes increasingly eccentric until he makes a life changing decision. Starring David Haig. Dramatised in two parts by Jon Canter. Reggie ..... David Haig CJ .....
