The synopsis is not correct. "Ronnie Barker dons cloth cap and pebble glasses to play a myopic, bumbling removal man, Clarence Sale. Clarence spends more time bumping into things than actually delivering them until he bumps into prim housemaid Jane Travers, who changes his life in ways he can't imagine." - but that is for the programme "CLARENCE" The programme itself was very good, although it lacked the brilliance of the interplay between Warders and prisoners that was in "Porridge". the "us versus them" that worked so well was sadly lacking.

Was a good show, but write up was about Clarence the half blind removal man, and not on going straight

Not as good as porridge by a long shot
