'''''Going Straight''''' is a British television [[sitcom]] created and written by [[Dick Clement]] and [[Ian La Frenais]], and starring [[Ronnie Barker]] and [[Richard Beckinsale]]. 

The programme was a direct sequel to the sitcom ''[[Porridge (1974 TV series)|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. The programme also featured the appearance of [[Patricia Brake]], reprising her role in ''Porridge'', and [[Nicholas Lyndhurst]]. Both [[Fulton Mackay]] and [[Tony Osoba]] guest starred in the first episode, also reprising their earlier roles.
