I'm sure when the first episodes were aired not everyone fell in love with them - indeed Ronnie wasn't keen on Porridge and wanted to make another comedy series they piloted instead. That's why only 21 episodes were made, he refused to make any more. He did Going Straight as a spin off but it wasn't popular and was dropped after the first series.
