Porridge - New Version

[lankeela]

Just seen this and was unsure when it started whether it could match up to the old one but have to say I thought it was very good - fast and funny.

[Tilly2]

I agree, Lankeela. I din't like the first one but it has grown on me. He is exactly like the old Fletch. His mannerisms and his timing is spot on. It is very funny.

[Islay]

It is very good isn't it.
I like the fact its not remaking it as the main character is Fletchers grandson.

[EDDIE51]

I am starting to like it, but you have to regard it as entirely new and not try to compare it to the old one.

[Tilly2]

The grandson behaves in exactly the same way as the grandfather. He is Fletch.

[Hopkirk]

It has the same writers as the original, so it was bound to be good and of similar humour.

[Old_Geezer]

I'm surprised anyone stuck with it.

[Cloverjo]

I didn't like it, myself. Can't see the point of dragging up an old classic.

[Tilly2]

Last night's episode had me laughing my socks off. I love it.

[Eleena]

I'm a fan!

[Tilly2]

Officer Meekie singing had me crying with laughter! Priceless.

[Eleena]

Missed last night's episode Tilly, Ill catch up over breakfast!

[Tilly2]

I hope you enjoy it, Eleena.

[murraymints]

so much like Fletch.... have warmed to it !

[Eleena]

Just waiting for my husband to return from having a haircut, he's picking up some grated cheese on the way back to make toasties with, I'm starving! Will definitely have a back to back catch up Tilly.

[murraymints]

cheese and pickle Toasty ... yum yum....

[Smowball]

I watched it and loved it. Hubby said it was a bit silly that that also have a Scottish prison officer and then to be called Meekie (like MacKay) but he still laughed at it.

[Prudie]

Oh dear, we watched 15 minutes and thought it was absolutely dire and turned it off.

[murraymints]

Prudie , you have to take it for what it is, a bit of updated nostalgia..

[whiskeryron]

Didn't give it much chance when I saw the 1st episode, now warming to it. Last night's episode was very good.
