Well, I watched abar 5 mins of 'Are you being served' (Through the one eye as I was quite 'refreshed')
Typical 21st century garbage. Of course, John Inman's character had been made tamer and far less camp; and there was the obligatory black man who just had to be the epitome of cool, chasing after the white, blonde, bimbo.
And 'boycey' from 'fools & horses' (Another that became tedious) agreeing to appear in that tripe.
God, but you must be hard-up.
Overall, about as amusing as a death at a birthday party. Five minutes I could've spent being stuck in traffic.
Needless to say, I didn't bother with the Porridge rehash....
You're absolutely right, by the way - did the 'gawp' bit give it away, perchance? Bet it did, the gormless, talentless gawp.
If it wasn't, the the 'crap actor' must've been.
Best this country has to offer? My, you're easily pleased.
