THE FALL AND RISE OF REGINALD PERRIN

THE CUCUMBER MAN

It is 1957. The Suez Crisis has been and gone. Henry Pratt has completed his National Service and having abandoned an unsuccessful career as a cub reporter in Thurmarsh, he is determined to find a role in life which will also help to make the world a better place. Who would have thought that working for the Cucumber Marketing Board might help him to achieve this?

PRATT A MANGER

Celebrity TV chef Henry Pratt’s life is on the up following his new-found fame but as usual things begin to go wrong. Could rival chef Bradley Tompkins be behind a plot to destroy his career? And can Henry resist the temptation presented by his lovely co-star Sally?

PRATT OF THE ARGUS

Henry Pratt, back home from National Service, is a man at last. Eager to prove it, he is thrown in at the deep end in his chosen profession - cub reporter on the Thurmarsh Evening Argus. Nothing ever goes quite right for Henry. So when the scoop of a lifetime finally comes his way it threatens to upset his family and complicate further his ever-hopeful love life.

SECOND FROM LAST IN THE SACK RACE

Growing up in south Yorkshire in the Thirties and Forties, Henry Pratt is a podgy schoolboy who is no good at games and not brilliant at work. By the creator of Reggie Perrin, this is a comic tale of two nations and of a boy who doesn't fit in anywhere.
