Hello!

In this Blog I am going to discuss the 1970s BBC Comedy 'Porridge' that featured Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale, posting interesting facts and figures on the programme as I find them...

If, you have watched the series before, I hope you enjoy the clips and the information that I upload, which should give more of an in-depth insight into this classic comedy.

If you are a newcomer to the series, I hope this blog will give you a taste of 'Porridge' (pardon the pun!) and that you enjoy the clips. May it encourage you to watch a full episode some time!

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Enjoy!

And the winner is...

'No Peace for the Wicked' Series 2, Episode 4

All the episodes are excellent but for me the above one is my favourite of all time.

In my opinion, this episode embodies everything that is wonderful about Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais' 'Porridge' and with its fast pace and the actors' appreciation for the audience's laughter, it even hints at elements of the Italian theatre genre of Commedia Dell'Arte.

A summary of this episode is available at the unofficial Porridge website, http://www.porridge.org.uk/guide.html#ser2
