This is a fantastic website devoted to one of, if not, the best sitcom Britain has ever produced. Loads of great info to be had and the clips are superb '2 choc ices please' :-) It was wonderful little lines like that that kept me laughing all the way. There will never be anything quite as good as Porridge. Thanks Ian for your superb efforts.

Nice to see a tribute to one of the great British sitcoms. I bought Going Straight DVD recently and can't get enough of it. Had only seen it twice before including its original broadcast. Patricia Brake and Richard Beckinsale are amazing and I especially love the episodes Going Home and Going Sour. Fulton Mackay is the best he's ever been and great to see Roberta Tovey years beyond her most famous role in Doctor Who and the Daleks and Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150 AD. I can't believe there were only ever six episodes and wonder if there were more scripts written. Ronnie Barker released a single of the theme tune which was reissued along with its B side String Bean Queen on British Comedy Classics 3. Fletcher actually sings the latter at various points during the series. My Dad once met Brian Wilde at a fishing port and he bought him a pint. Quite an underrated actor. Sadly the main stars of Porridge are now all gone but the shows will live on forever :)

A wonderful show, I recently purchased the complete Porridge on DVD (in NZ) and have been having a bit of a marathon. One question, in the pilot and series one the prisoner transfer van is shown driving into a railway station, what station is it?

Ta very much Ian! for providing this oasis of knowledge of one of the greatest sitcoms ever to bless the television. Nothing will ever compare to it! It's a shame that my generation are too ignorant to understand or even know of Porridge - which frankly, is an insult to me and to all the wonderful people involved in the show, who most of, are sadly no longer with us. Long live Porridge!

Hey Ian how ridiculously stupid of me to credit John Sullivan for Porridge, I guess because I am also a fan of 'Fools & Horses'. I can't believe I made such a daft mistake of course I know Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais Wrote Porridge, it's a damn good job my blushes can't be seen on here. Again sorry guys. B.W.

My Dad was in the episode "The Hustler". He worked for Charringtons Coal Company and is person you see standing by the truck and pouring the coal into the bunker, via conveyer belt, when they were having their game of snakes and ladders.

Thanks Brian, that's a great clip! However, I don't think that Dick Clement and Ian le Frenais would be too happy about you crediting their writing to John Sullivan! ;)

Mr Dair, as we knew him was a neighbour in our flats where we lived in Abbeywood. I was the same age as his youngest daughter and we all knew he was a singer as we used to hear him practising! It wasn't till later that we used to see him in various roles on tv and especially Crusher in Porridge in the Levi advert. He made appearances in many tv shows and his family have wonderful memories and be enormously proud of him.

I love this show and always have done since the 70's. Probably the best TV on Saturday evenings even today. Timeless comedy that still will make you chuckle. Thank heavens we still have quality like this to enjoy. Very few things come close these days. Too many charmless nerks!!!!!!

Hello, Wonderful site. I'm 14 and I love Porridge and have done since forever it is something a treasure dearly. Its so inspirational. Ronnie Barker was an absolutely fantastic actor and comedian. when I was 10 I read this rather large book an porridge and all my friends thought I was mad but I wasn't. the morals and messages porridge gives out are so uplifting. Thank you.

An excellent website, thank you for it. I am a huge fan of 70,s British comedy. sadly the majority of the cast of Porridge, On the Buses and the Carry on's are no longer with us. Porridge was the best and for me Fulton Mackay was the VERY BEST. I have all the episodes on DVD and few evenings go by without a viewing of one or another of them. I wonder what the cast, writers and directors would think to imagine the show is still so well loved over 30 years after it ended. Simply superb.

A truely fantastic website. I live and travel around Australia for work and never leave without a porridge DVD tucked away in my bag. Never tire of watching the episodes of what was clearly the greatest sitcom in a golden era for comedy.

Thanks for your Porridge site. A fitting tribute to what must rank as one of Great Britain's best comedies. The characters and story lines were never less than brilliant, and I for one never tire of seeing them. If I had to pick a favourite character out of a whole cast of favourite characters, it would have to be Mr Mackay. his portrayal of an ex drill Sgt, now prison officer, was sublime, and he reminded me of every drill instructor I met in my service career. Brilliant is a much over used word nowadays, but brilliant "Porridge" certainly was.
