Life Beyond the Box: Norman Stanley Fletcher

Just found out about this documentary style catchup on the characters from Porridge from 2003. I've found a short clip here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzEYceCpX6Q but I'm very interesting in seeing the whole thing. Anybody remember this? Anyone got a copy?

Remember this as being okay, all the surviving cast, including a cameo from Barker, and a decent take on how their lives might have progressed, with some reasonable gags (don't know if Clement & La Frenais were involved).

They did one in the same series on The Good Life, which was dreadful.

At the time I thought it was dire but maybe I was being too harsh. I doubt the original writers were involved as the Esmonde and Larbey had nothing to do with the Margo episode.

Remember the Fletcher one being good. I didn't watch the Margo one.
