All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky

David Tennant Explains The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Released 9 April 2026.

We normally try and sit down for a chat with someone who was involved in the making of the show we're watching, but very nearly everyone who worked on this show is long dead, and so we've made do with popular actor and comedy fan David Tennant. Hope that's okay.

Next time we’ll go back to the source with Hancock’s Half Hour. We’ll watch series 5 episode 1, “The Economy Drive” and series 7 episode 5 “The Blood Donor”.

Here’s a long list of social media systems where you can find the podcast and us.
