The peregrine falcon provided the inspiration for the 1970s comedy series The Fall and Rise of Reginald Peregrine after the writer David Nobbs heard an old Scottish folk story about a bird of prey that
becomes fed up with its life flying faster than any other bird and chooses to abandon its family for a life on the ground.
The lead role in the comedy hit was taken by Leonard Rossiter, who also starred in Raisin Dump, a documentary series about the EEC's long forgotten dried fruit mountain
