Summary

Reginald Perrin is dead, killed by a falling billboard.

Solicitor Geraldine Hackstraw (Patricia Hodge) is given the task of reading (and enforcing) Reggie's rather strange will. He's left his fortune to his wife and friends on condition that they do something outrageously absurd.

Among the beneficiaries are Elizabeth Perrin (Pauline Yates), Jimmy Anderson (Geoffrey Palmer), C.J. (John Barron), David Harris-Jones (Bruce Bould), Doc Morrissey (John Horsley), Joan Greengross (Sue Nicholls), Tom Patterson (Tim Preece) and Linda Patterson (Sally-Jane Spencer).
