What's your fav TV show that you always go back to?

I have a few comfort ones that I always return to, all sitcoms. New Girl, The Office US, The Likley Lads and Only Fools and Horses are the main ones

I often go back to watching Porridge, the acting is brilliant, it’s where David Jason ( Blanco) first met Ronnie Barker. A young John Sullivan was a scene shifter on the set and showed Ronnie the script for a sitcom he wanted to make. Jim Broadbent was an original choice for Del, he turned it down but obviously came back as Snide Slater.

I heard that Jim Broadbent initially auditioned for Del Boy. I couldn't imagine anyone other than David Jason playing him though. 

I remember David Jason in Porridge, he was Blanco the old man whod been falsley accused of murdering his wife. He always used to carry round that Muffin the Mule he made

Yes the film was good, the exterior of Slade Prison is actually in St. Albans, they didn’t want to travel far from the studio, google St.Albans old prison. My brother came across this van recently, it’s in a poor state.

The Porridge movie was absolutely hilarious as well.

Have you ever seen the Porridge spin-off  Going Straight? I first remember Nick Lyndhurst  in Butterflies.
