From the BBC sitcom 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin' starring Leonard Rossiter. A story about a man going through a mid-life crisis resulting in a breakdown where he leaves his clothes and a suicide note on a beach to give the impression he's dead whereas in reality he starts a whole new life.
