Carol Drinkwater was a better Helen Herriott.
The DM reported that a couple of weeks ago but it was only rumour. Mirror has rewritten that piece.

Citizen Smith was of its time - I don't think it would work in 2015, even if they cast/writer weren't all very old and or dead.

I don't like the sound of this. I am not keen on re-makes. For the most part they don't work as you look back fondly on the original. Open all hours didn't really work for me.

I quite like Still Open All Hours but 'names' tend to spoil it a bit.

So is this grandson of Fletch`s his daughter Ingrid`s son? And is his Father Lenny Godber?
I might give it a go, but I`m sure it won`t be a patch on the original. I can`t recall ever watching anything that is.

How can they call it Porridge and relate it to the classic series? Ronnie Barker, Richard Beckinsale, Fulton Mackay & Brian Wilde (The four main stars) all no longer with us

Anyone watch Are You Being Served? I was so close to turning it off.

I enjoyed some of it. It didn't work for me this time round
Hope to goodness they don't turn it into a series

I thought Goodnight Sweetheart great though.

I caught up on iPlayer with GS because I was readmitted to hospital due to complications after my op. I loved that. It was like it had never been away. Definitely could go full series.

BBC commissioned a series of Porridge.

I'm annoyed about that. Porridge was okay but it was like they dusted off an old script and changed the names. I was in hospital when GS was shown so it was the first thing I caught up with on iPlayer when they finally released me. I had to stop myself laughing because it was agony. It was just so cleverly continued like it had never been away. Maybe they went for Porridge because it's in-house after the Bake Off farce.
