This book provides a comprehensive research-based source of
material, which focuses on the important issue of dementia and
family care. It critically examines how dementia is defined,
diagnosed and "treated" and provides a new environmentally focused
approach to this challenging and growing issue for nurses and other
care givers.
All 21 episodes of the 1970s comedy series starring Leonard
Rossiter as Reginald Perrin, plus the post-Rossiter series 'The
Legacy of Reginald Perrin' (1996), and a 1982 Christmas sketch. In
the first series, life changes forever for Reggie when he imagines
his mother-in-law as a hippo one morning and realises how stressed
he is. Reggie begins a one-man campaign against his dull, routine
commuter existence, embodied by his boss at Sunshine Desserts, C.J.
(John Barron), yes-men colleagues Tony 'Knockout!' Webster (Trevor
Adams) and David 'Super!' Harris-Jones (Bruce Bould), incompetent
medico Doc Morrissey (John Horsley) and secretary Joan (Sue
Nicholls). In Series 2, Reggie, having faked his own death, has
adopted the new identity of Martin Wellbourne, his own long-lost
friend from Brazil, and re-married his wife, Elizabeth (Pauline
Yates). Reggie has also obtained a job at his old firm, Sunshine
Desserts, running his own memorial fund. However, tired of
pretending to be somebody else, Reggie reveals his true identity -
only to be sacked by C.J.: 'I didn't get where I am today by
pretending to be my long-lost friend from Brazil'. After an
unsatisfying spell on a pig farm, Reggie comes up with a whole new
concept in shopping: a store where everything sold is guaranteed
100% useless. He names his new enterprise Grot, and surprises even
himself with his success. In the third series, Reggie and
Elizabeth, having sold Grot, soon tire of their new lives as
travellers, and decide to set up a special community to help people
live in peace and harmony. All the old gang are recruited,
including Reggie's former boss, C.J., colleagues David and Tony,
Doc Morrissey and brother-in-law Jimmy (Geoffrey Palmer) - but will
their best efforts meet with success? 'The Legacy of Reginald
Perrin' catches up with the characters from the series years later
as they are forced to perform silly acts in order to benefit
financially from Reggie's will.
