    I'm Going Straight as an Arr'aw - and with a Bafta!

    Like Porridge, Going Straight was a series that was to shine! In 1978 it won a Bafta TV Award and rightly so! With a fantastic theme tune (If you can find the elongated version on LP - do its magnificent!),Writing team and the superb acting of Ronnie Barker- Fulton Mackay and Richard Beckinsale who could say it was bad? As many posters have said here - it didn't live up to the expectations of Porridge and in a way this "could" be correct, but i feel it packs the same punch! It shows the strain of trying to reintegrate back into life, on the straight and narrow, fighting back temptation and the leering face of crime and Barker plays this to an Art! Be it the wittiness of Fletch,The stupidity of remarks from Raymond or the "happy ending" - The series is memorable for it.

    And to say that Barker said it was up there with Porridge - what more can one say!

    Excellent sequel, tragically early cancellation

    Couldn't agree more with another review on here, if both shows we're called "Fletcher" no-one would have spotted the join between this and Porridge. Ronnie Barker just as great as ever. And what a tragedy we lost Richard Beckinsale so early, truly talented young actor. Along with a supporting cast of Fulton Mackay (even though only 1 episode) and Patricia Brake as Fletch's daughter. Even a very young Nicholas Lyndhurst as his son. Maybe the support hasn't got as many purely comical characters as Porridge (Warren, Maclaren, Ives, Barrowclough etc) which probably just takes the slight edge off if you wanted to compare the series seperately. Still worth a revisit, or getting acquainted with if you liked Porridge and didn't catch this. And a catchy theme tune just to add the finishing touch. Great memories

    It's different but every bit as good

    I thoroughly endorse Liam's well expressed review. Going Straight deals with the same person in very different circumstances and one that has to have non-humorous aspects. The episodes are clever, and funny where they need to be, very funny, with Fletch's repartee as sharp as ever. And his delivery is flawless. I found myself chuckling all the time I wasn't feeling sorry for him or worried about him. It's an excellent supplement to the wonderful Porridge. And Godber was as perfect in his new circumstances as he ever was. Interesting to see some supporting actors who went on to considerable acclaim themselves. If I have any reservations they are only about Ingrid's London accent - though nothing could ever be as bad as Dick Van Dyke's chimney sweep.

    Who said sequels don't pack the same punch!?

    Well, I got the DVD of Going Straight the other week, and put it with my DVDs for Porridge. I've read all that stuff that says GS wasn't received as fondly as Porridge - and I've also read that Ronnie Barker thinks it's just as good. I am in full agreement with Mr Barker here.

    First off - yes, Going Straight dispensed with the "less is more" approach that made Porridge (and almost all the greatest sitcoms bar Fawlty Towers) so brilliant. But that's the only problem I have with it.

    I suspect that the people who dismiss this show were disappointed because it wasn't just more Porridge. Well, the whole point is that he's been released on parole. Alternately, for the people who miss Warren, Lukewarm and Grouty - remember that they were all sent down from different parts of the country, and so when released, all went home to different parts of the country. To have them all on the outside together would not be realistic. The only fellow ex-con to be kept in the series was, of course, Lennie Godber. Plus Fletch's daughter Ingrid has a much bigger part in this series - again, to be expected.

    Certainly, the series still has the same emotional resonance - Porridge dealt with the pressures of being in prison, and Going Straight deals with life on the outside for ex-prisoners, and the prejudices they are up against. Much like the prejudices that sequels tend to be up against . . .

    Overall, I like this series. Not quite as much as Porridge, I'll admit. But certainly enough to recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Porridge. Who said that sequels aren't as good?!

    Great follow on, unfortunately not aired on any network in in australia...

    Brilliance, itself,as a follow on to porridge, unfortunately due to the untimely death of richard beckinsale, i believe this shortened, what would have become, a thriving, multi-series show, as porridge was... British comedy at its best, with legend status, shame nothing these days can come anywhere near , ronnie barkers wisdom and wit...

      Despite winning a BAFTA for best comedy, it was felt by many involved that the show was too much in the shadow of Porridge and lacked the sparkle of its predecessor. Producer, Sydney Lotterby, said that Fletcher and Godber lacked purpose and context outside of the prison setting and that it was 'almost inevitable that there wouldn't have been a second series' regardless of Richard Beckinsale's subsequent death.
