    The Lovers

    The Lovers

    The Lovers is a British television sitcom by Jack Rosenthal, starring Richard Beckinsale and Paula Wilcox as a courting couple, Geoffrey and Beryl. It was made between 1970 and 1971 by Granada Television for the ITV network. The hook for the show was the mismatch between the two, particularly in the area of sex. Beryl was a slightly dizzy character with a penchant for pet names such as “Geoffrey bubbles bonbon”, while Geoffrey, though dreamy, was somewhat rough around the edges, obsessed with taking Beryl to bed. A typical exchange between them might consist of the following:

    The series ran for 13 episodes over one year. Like several other British sitcoms of the time, it was used as the basis for a movie in 1973.

    Going Straight

    0 out of 5

    Going Straight

    Going Straight is a BBC sitcom which was a direct spin-off from Porridge, starring Ronnie Barker as Norman Stanley Fletcher, newly released from the fictional Slade Prison where the earlier series had been set.

    It sees Fletcher trying to become an honest member of society, having vowed to stay away from crime on his release. The title refers to his attempt, ‘straight’ being a slang term meaning being honest, in contrast to ‘bent’, i.e., dishonest.

    Also re-appearing was Richard Beckinsale as Lennie Godber, who was Fletcher’s naïve young cellmate and was now in a relationship with his daughter Ingrid. Her brother Raymond was played by a teenage Nicholas Lyndhurst.

    Only one series, of six episodes, was made in 1978. It attracted an audience of over 15 million viewers and won a BAFTA award in March 1979, but hopes of a further series had already been dashed by Beckinsale’s premature death earlier in the same month.
