Intelligent and funny, a winning combination.

Elisabeth convinces a burned out Reggie to ask his boss CJ for a holiday, he decides to visit The Doctor instead. Reggie's behaviour becomes a little more extreme, as he starts penning abusive letters, and buys Joan a a mountain of cakes.

The first episode had me hooked, I loved it, this second one however, was even better. Very funny from start to finish, poor Reggie, you can see him going downhill very quickly.

Loved that scene where CJ keeps Reggie waiting outside, he's such a control freak, he loves the power. We're introduced to a couple of new characters, Geoffrey Palmer so good as always.

Even though there's a bit of repetition, it's very amusing, we have the love scenes with Joan, and the mother in law nones.

Leonard Rossiter continues to impress as poor Reggie, you can almost feel the stress coming off him, equally matched by the marvellous John Barron, fabulous as CJ, who didn't get where he was today by allowing people to have holidays.

9/10.
