Review of Porridge

Porridge (2016 TV Movie)
2/10
Not impressed
30 August 2016
This rehash certainly didn't hit the spot for me, there was nothing in it that made me laugh, and that is sad for a comedy. When I saw the listing for it I thought they were showing one of the original series, I was left disappointed by this.

The gags in it were recycled from the original, the characters didn't have the presence of the originals, and they were trying to hard to be Norman Stanley Fletcher. Just seemed to be a poor copy and paste, and not something that was worth watching.

Whatever next by the BBC? A rehash of Only Fools and Horses? I hope they don't actually make any more of these rehash of old series, there have been a number of them, and they have all failed miserably. I had hoped by now they would spend my licence fee money on things more productive and new.
