Nothing much wrong with Mckay. Apart from being Scottish of course....

Well, I'm 54 and this is the first time i've seen this programme and it only came up because i was born in Stafford and typed it in the search bar yesterday to see what my home town is like now.

Sir Humphrey 😊

I respect prison officers like maki. I I counted afew HMP liverpool😂

Never seen a sitcom with Barker that’s boring… this popped up in my feed yesterday and I’m already in love with it… he’s great.

Nooooo Golder Don't marry Ingrid

I'm sure someone's already said it, but Fletch must have been really in his head about paying for the wedding or someone as canny as him would have known full well that £500 for a "Peripheral roll" is £500 to play the part of "That's him your honour, that's the mastermind of the whole thing". Repeat offender, on probation, desperate for the money for his daughter's sudden wedding? he's the perfect fall man. Any judge would look as his record, and the circumstances and throw the book, the shelf and the rest of the library at him.

"She's found another man, dad" turned out to be tempting fate I suppose.

I don't know what is going on with u tube but most of the time doesn't work and what u watch it's not what it is need to get there act together

I always loved Mr Mackay!

Cost of living brilliant

Porridge is my all time favorite British comedy. Pure genius writing and dialogue. ❤

I love than Fletch needs Godber just as much as Godber needs Fletch.

5p for the gas meter take me back to them days lol

What a pile of rubbish same old comments about best of British if these were the best to offer in the 70s no wonder people had massive family’s cause there was nothing worth watching on Tv

I never new Rodney from only fools and horses was in this.

He has a Tottenham keyring.. and talked about Spurs while inside. Then in later episodes of Going Straight he turns to Orient. LOL!

28:12 "Oh, ta-ta." Brilliantly understated reaction from Fletch 👍

Fulton McKay was fantastic .

He deserves better Ingrid is so annoying get your hands off gobba Ingrid 😡

He’s the bloke that shared the cell with Nigel Fletcher in the remake of Porridge

23:40 onwards - the best portrayal of a flashback that I've ever seen. And the best portrayal of somebody suddenly seeing sense. "Err - no, no. Only I can do that."

❤ Ronnie The greatest writer and deliver of comedy

I love how in 70s an employment officer can guilt trip you about living off women and then tell you you'll take what you can get. Good times when society expected men to support their families

2024 anyone?

Galopping Reg Jessop.

Not a big fan of British humor. Watched a few episodes of Open all hours. Just realized the guy on here is the same guy as the store owner. Arkwright or some such thing. just younger.

Open all hours (not even David Jason could save) and Porridge remakes were so bad. Not even remotely close in style or comedy. Goes to show how good Barker was. Nothing he did ever succeeded after him. Including Corbet.

Oh shut up Ingrid 😡

A very good TV series old fashioned just like my generation I love ❤️ all of Ronnie Barker's TV comedy series he has made absolutely brilliant and entertaining 👌 👍

April 23rd, !!…..I’m watching this on Mr McKays birthday 🎉

They'll be ready Thursday 😂😂 The level of writing is off the scale

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE

GOOD.

2024 anyone?

April 2024?

Memories fantastic,

Interesting to know whether Harris and Ives were still at Slade?

Ahhhh the good old days when people could take a joke and being honest was funny. 2020 to 2024 is the joke now.

7.55 Lee Ritchards Famous British "Extra" was in many shows. Minder, Big Deal, Hammer house of horror and multiple times in Only fools & horses...

Absolutely love this programme and porridge and ofah and open all hours and still open all hours

30 mins flue by as fast as the train… Hilarious and poignant.

I ❤Richard Beckinsale

As both an ex-Army and ex-Correctional Officer myself, Fletcher's comment that ‘Your loyalty isn’t rewarded … you’re just a number" rang very true. After 10 years and 19 years of service respectively, I left with barely a thank you.

Funny 😂

DELBOY!!!!!!!!

Yeh at 67,so do I.😮

awsome comdey

Dick Clements..wrote some funny telly. Had a great writing partner too. Took the mantle from Galton and Simpson...great sitcom duo. Tragic only 6 episodes of Porridge and 6 of going straight were made. His best role ,Ronnie Barker .. porridge could have run for years ...aged better than say the goodlife. To the mannor born .funnier than only fools n horses...by a country mile ...dont repeat many others from the timeframe

Brilliant script. So clever.
