I really don't like this current mania for redoing old TV classics and Ronnie Barker's Porridge WAS and still IS a classic. However for once this remodelling does stand well against it , 40 years on. Nigel, Fletch's grandson is a likeable rogue and the prison officer looks and speaks like Officer Mackay. Worth a watch.
