Life Beyond the Box: Norman Stanley Fletcher is a 2003 BBC Television comedy docudrama telling the life of Norman Stanley Fletcher from Porridge and Going Straight.
The film details how Norman Stanley Fletcher's life had panned out in the 25 years since his release from Slade Prison. The majority of the programme featured the surviving cast members, in character, with Ronnie Barker featuring in the last few minutes as Fletch.
The absence of Fletch's naïve young cellmate Godber, originally played by Richard Beckinsale who died in 1979, was explained in a scene where Fletch's daughter Ingrid receives a phone call from him to say that he is stuck in traffic and will not be able to appear in the BBC "documentary".
