I believe Richard died within a year or so of the making of Going Straight. Ironically, David Swift was also in Richard Beckinsale's last tv show Bloomers. It's noticeable the bags-under-the-eyes on Richard in this episode and it has been said that he had raised concerns about his health with his doctor in the months before his tragic death.

The bar was set a lot higher back then - there were only three TV channels in the UK, so programme quality had to be competitive to get viewers in. Even though Going Straight paled next to Porridge, it still had quality writing and a very talented presence in Ronnie Barker - not just a veteran comedian, but an excellent actor with impeccable timing, a craft he honed through many years of experience and talent.

@highdownmartin Жыл бұрын

Watching the last series of father Ted knowing that dermot Morgan was dead, it seemed less funny and not as good. But years later that was just my mood. Watching going straight at the time felt like “ it’s not porridge it’s not as good “. But forty years later ( naffin ell ! Really?) it’s still sharp writing, fletch is in civvies but clement frenais still give him excellent lines and the same outlook, there’s beckinsale and maybe that time away from it makes me think that this is way better than the credit I gave it at the time of transmission. And the two hander with Mac Kay on the train in ep 1 is right up there with the absolute best of superb acting and brilliant dialogue. That’s a real jewel
