poor Richard Beckinsdale he left us too young

Ronnie Barker . One of our greatest actors , comedians . RIP .

Fletch and Godber RIP.  You did good lads, you did real good.

Nearly forty years old and still fresh as a daisy. Genius

I loved that in this episode Mackay and fletch parted ways with a hand shake and respect for each other

Fulton McKay was brilliant in this episode 😊😅😂

Ronnie Barker was the king of British sitcoms.

That handshake at the end was one of the greatest moments in TV history

Two legends of comedy. It makes me smile just seeing Ronnie and Fulton play opposite one another. Sadly missed souls.

THANKS LADS FOR SUCH A GREAT BRITISH SHOW, AND REST PEACEFULLY LADS, YOUR FOREVER MISSED. WILL AND ELAINA.

26p a pint of beer, retirement at 55. A lot can happen in forty years. I last brought a pint some years ago and it was over £5 then, I can't imagine how much it is now. As for retirement at 55, my dear old mother is 68 and still has to work every day with no hope of ever actually retiring.

The old comedies are always more fun than the modern ones.

Fletcher looking at his diary:
"No entry after September 11th - that fateful day."
How bizarrely prescient!

Great writing and acting. I actually wept watching this. ‘Your loyalty isn’t rewarded … you’re just a number!’ How very true.

Drunk Mackay is hilarious haha he was a fantastic actor, shame this spin off only lasted 6 episodes it was pretty decent.

Although Going Straight was good, I feel that this episode was the only one which retained the magic of Porridge. The last scene between Mackay and Fletcher is a real lump in the throat moment.

That's a great "drunk" performance from Mr. Mackay

David Jason and Ronnie Barker taught each other so much 💜❤️💜

Fletcher and Mackay actually did like each other, and although they were from opposite worlds, they had a mutual respect,
It was a lovely touch and the only way to say goodbye to Porridge and hello to Going Straight ,
And the brilliant writing reversed roles for Fletcher and Mackay -
And Gobder and Fletcher .
Just watching this happen on the train was an evolution of fantastic writing and a wonderful conclusion.
Words are hard to find and harder to justify.

I’ve seen this episode many times because when Fletcher speaks of “ loyalty “ to the establishment it is still today so painfully true
