# Quote 1 All the best sitcom characters are relentlessly horrible. 2 There are too many people involved in making the decisions at the BBC now. In the Seventies, one or two made the decisions, now it's all done by committees and focus groups. (Speaking in 2009) 3 My initial reaction to this remake was the same as quite a lot of people: why? I don't like remakes of programmes anyway. It's unimaginative. It's much better to start afresh with a blank sheet of paper. I think Martin Clunes is wonderful and he may save the day, but I'm pessimistic. I probably won't watch it. Comedy is like wine - it improves with age. And Leonard Rossiter was Reggie Perrin. He was the catalyst for the show's success. (On Reggie Perrin (2009))
