Do you think we could convince James Corden to make a remake of Porridge and just lock him up in solitary for a few years? I think the licence payer would happily chip in for that.

The BBC is hardly going to say anything nice about it after the makers snubbed their request for a pilot episode (Jay and Lynn's pithy response: "There are 38 pilots already"). Most of the reviews I read were lukewarm.

Or to put it another way, it is light years better than the BBC's recent execrable sitcom output like "Mrs Brown's Boys" and "Citizen Khan".

I use the word in its loosest - and I mean loosest - sense, insofar as I believe they were intended as comedies.

"Mrs Brown's Boys" is an acquired taste. Despite being Irish, I have yet to acquired said taste, even though the show has been running for many years here in one or other format.
