Going Straight Series 1, Episode 1 - Going Home - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Norman Stanley Fletcher is out of prison and determined to go straight but no-one seems to believe him. Certainly not senior prison officer Mackay who he ends up sharing the train home with. And as normal for Fletch, temptation and trouble are never far away.
Further details
Fletcher's out and after a heartfelt goodbye to McLaren and a slight false start he's on the train and headed for his new life on the straight and narrow.
However, Fletch's first taste of freedom is marred by the appearance of his long-standing foe, Senior Prison Officer Mackay. But Mackay is not the only familiar face on the train home and the first temptation is not long behind the first beer!
Will Fletch resist the pull of his old life and do his old adversary a favour in the process?
