I remember thinking “Reginald Perrin” was a very funny show when I watched it on PBS. A few years ago, I noticed that the local library had Season 1 on DVD, so I borrowed it; I thought it was moderately amusing, but not as funny as when I was a teenager.

Then he was mis-informed. The next comic opera in sequence was “Princess Ida” so he would have been Reginald Princess Ida Perrin, which sounds a lot better. Perhaps not as funny.
I have. The books contain a couple of nasty sub plots that the TV show wisely leaves out. It explains for example the disappearance of Reggie’s son Mark, while in the TV show he’s a Chuck Cunningham. You might like it better if you avoid reading them.
Forgive me my sins, but the blackface scene with CJ had me falling off my chair laughing.
(He has it just on his face, not his neck, ears or hands, and his pretending to be Jamaican or whatever it was was so over the top comical and offensive at the same time.)
