Fletch's cell mate is called 'Lotterby'. Sidney Lotterby was the Director on the original series.

Fletch's full name is Nigel Norman Fletcher, grandson of Norman Stanley Fletcher portrayed by Ronnie Barker in the original Porridge (1974)

The pilot aired as part of the BBC's 'Landmark Sitcom Season' run of 2016 which celebrated "the heritage and legacy of BBC comedy", where it garnered 5.38 million viewers.
