The programme was a direct spin-off to the sitcom Porridge, which all four were involved in, with its premise surrounding the exploits of Barker's character Norman Stanley Fletcher following his release from prison and his attempts to not commit another crime for the sake of his family, despite the allure that crime brings.

Both Fulton Mackay and Tony Osoba guest starred in the first episode, also reprising their earlier roles. A single series of six episodes was made and aired across 1978, attracting an audience of over 15 million viewers and winning a BAFTA award in March 1979. Plans for further episodes were shelved after the premature death of Beckinsale in 1979. (en)
  • Hem från kåken (originaltitel: Going Straight), brittisk komediserie med Ronnie Barker (Norman Stanley Fletcher), Richard Beckinsale (Lennie Godber) och (Mackay). Svensk TV-premiär i februari 1979. En fortsättning på TV-serien Hem till kåken. Efter att ha suttit av tre år och åtta månader av sitt fängelsestraff blir Norman Stanley Fletcher villkorligt frigiven. Anpassningen till livet utanför murarna blir inte alldeles okomplicerad. Totalt gjordes det sex avsnitt 1978. (sv)
