"The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" Quiz

Answer: Sunshine Desserts

Sunshine Desserts is where Reggie works in a job he begins to loathe as being pointless. It is a major factor in bringing on his mid-life crisis. He spends his day wondering if new flavours of ice cream and puddings are all there is to life, apart from writing letters to British Rail about the fact his train is always 11 minutes late.

Answer: Ponsonby

Ponsonby is a great support to Reggie as he listens to his cares, concerns and plans without making comment, but the main thing to Reggie is he is a good listener.

Answer: Raspberry Ripple

The exotic ices project is supposed to be Reggie's top priority however due to a computer error the most popular flavours turn out to be bookends, Pumice stone and West Germany leaving C.J. unimpressed at the results.

Answer: He leaves his clothes on a beach

Reggie steals a van from his company and after sabotaging C.J.'s fishing competition, by flooding the river with loganberry juice, makes his way to the coast. Having decided the water is far to cold to kill himself he leaves his clothes on the beach. He is then free to set off in tramp attire to start a new life.

Answer: One day

C.J. runs Sunshine Desserts by fear and he is constantly intimidating the staff. Reggie arranges to see him to demand time off but as soon as he is in the room his confidence evaporates and he is granted one day off work.

Answer: By climbing down a drainpipe

Reggie loves Joan from afar but when his wife has to tend to her sick mother he seizes the opportunity to invite her over. Most of his family turn up whilst she is upstairs, leaving her to make her way down the drainpipe. Joan makes two visits to Reggie's house and on both occasions she has to use the drainpipe to leave.

Answer: Two asprin

Doc Morrisey seems to treat all the patients the same. Firstly he listens to the symptoms of the illness and says "I have that .... I wonder what it is?" and then secondly he hands the patient two aspirins.

Answer: C.J.

The visitors chairs in his office have been bought especially because they make a farting sound when guests sit in them or get up, much to C.J.'s delight.

His catchphrase is "I didn't get where I am today..."

Answer: By train

The reason for the train being eleven minutes late varies but it ranged from someone stealing the line to dysfunctional bogeys. Reggie always tells his secretary the reason on his arrival for work.

Answer: An hippopotamus

As Reggie begins the descent into despair he starts to think of a large hippo every time his wife mentions her mother. His wife is not at all happy about him being so hateful about her mother, but to Reggie it's a term of endearment.
