This was a perfect 6-parter. Tragic that Beckinsale died of course, but I think it ended well here as it achieved what it set out to do. Modern fiction could learn a lot from this simple, well-executed character development and arc for one of sitcom's greatest characters. The comic irony that the prison sitcom was more upbeat and lackadaisical than the more realistic life on the outside where you are your own worst enemy, is just perfection.

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.

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."

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

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.
