[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 308100, member: 23"] I rounded off the series with the Britain's Best Sitcom episode focussing on [I]Porridge[/I]. I wasn't expecting much but I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a lot of reminders about just why it's so brilliant, plus it was nice to revisit clips from the series and to hear other fans' opinions on it. Tonight I also watched the [I]Porridge[/I] film. I was expecting a greatest hits type affair, but there weren't a whole lot of familiar lines. There was one lifted directly from the Fletch/Godber bedroom two-hander from the final episode of [I]Going Straight,[/I] when Lennie told Fletch he was "getting on my goat", only to be corrected. That dialogue and the following few lines was identical. A few absent friends and at least one recast (with Geoffrey Bayldon as the Governor, and Slade itself looking very different inside and out). But nicely consistent and better than other film spin-offs from TV sitcoms. [/QUOTE]
