"It's a good tea today, we've got jelly!" "That is a plant!" "No it's not, it's a tin of pineapples!" The world needs this kind of comedy back! I met Ronnie Barker, he had an antique shop near my mums house, my dad took me to meet him. Total gent!
Matt Parkes He was nothing like Harry Grout. He was very polite and softly spoken and although he spoke for a few minutes he was a bit uncomfortable A real gentleman.
Love, love, love, Porridge, absolute class, humorous look at british prison in the 60/70s so close to how prison was the characters the decor of the scenes, marvelous, you know i could never look at jock screw without thinking. about mckay, yes i done a little time, Porridge is just a humorous reminder of what was, Fletch you was a good egg till the end. Lol Skulduggery.
The scene at the end of this episode contains probably my fave line from the entire series: Fletcher: "That is a plant!" Mackay: "No it's not, it's a tin of pineapples!" lol Classic comedy at it's finest. xD
what did they need that tin of Pineapple pieces for exactly where they going to use it to make a pie? or was the guards just checking to see how many tins of it was in stock?
@@eliotreader8220 Fletcher stole them originally because he wanted a good desert. Unfortunately for him, Barraclough found them during a RSC and feeling he owned Fletcher a favour, hid them with intent on returning them. Unfortunately for him, his wife found them forced him to eat them, leading to Barraclough replacing them with a new can (that Fletcher had to pay for0 at this point. The best of the ending is, MacKay nicks Fletcher for stealing, but leaves the can with Godber who then tries to eat them himself.
Thanks, bosskat57 - I had no idea he was Kate Beckinsale's father! I've just favourited a video that I found where she talks about him and they show more clips of him and her mother. Didn't realise that actress was her mother either!
Mr. MacKay reminds me of my Dad who was a military man of Scots extraction. He had a much better sense of humor than MacKay but he could also be intimidatingly strict. Great show with lots of fond memories.
Comedy was great back then . The days when we could be ourselves and have fun with everything , rising damp ,on the buses ,bless this house etc . Now all the great comedy has gone
Not PC? Porridge is a series with criminals shown positively, and with prominent gay and black characters. If this came out today Tories would be calling it "woke"

The whole ensemble cast was gems. The show was genius. A laugh a minute.
The greatest sitcom ever. End of.
Mr.McKay,simply brilliant piece of acting.
Without doubt the best most perfectly crafted comedy BBC ever produced.Nothing modern compares
huioplf
Doesn't even begin to compare with Yes, Minister (and Yes, Prime Minister). Good, but no Gold Medal.
@@DieFlabbergast Those were more documentaries than comedies though!
@@paulsengupta971 Even Maggie Thatcher remarked how true to life Yes Minister was
Brilliant show, great actors and character's. Very funny 🤣. One of my all time favourites. Timeless classics.
They are all in there Barker, Beckensale, Biggins, Sam Kelly, Fulton McKay....great classic 70's comedy...
in alphabetical order
Beckinsale
Lukewarm...actor Christopher Biggins still going strong at age 75..
"Why is your hat standing to attention?"
Great acting, great scripts. Comedy at its best.😂
Fulton McKay was brilliant.
“You do not mooove!” LOL
He was better than that
Class act. Loved the end of the episode with Napper Wainwright when they sang for he's a jolly good fellow for him.
Were did he get that super posh Scottish accent from 😂
@@mickharrison9004 Scotland. And it isn't super posh.
'i forgot where i was sir' hahahhahahaha
Such a brilliant line and amazing acting.
This would make you smile on the sadness of a day....wonderful xx
"It's a good tea today, we've got jelly!"
"That is a plant!"
"No it's not, it's a tin of pineapples!"
The world needs this kind of comedy back! I met Ronnie Barker, he had an antique shop near my mums house, my dad took me to meet him. Total gent!
I don't think I've ever heard a bad word said about Ronnie Barker.
Matt Parkes I met harry grout in the coop in hawick
@@terrydavidson5052 and was he genial in real life?? I'd have loved to have met him! What was he like?
@@geoffpoole483 He did have a bit of an obsession with erotic art :). Not a bad word, just a fun fact ☺️
Matt Parkes He was nothing like Harry Grout. He was very polite and softly spoken and although he spoke for a few minutes he was a bit uncomfortable A real gentleman.
Timeless comedy that's like a good wine it gets better with age. They don't and won't make them like this anymore
I prefer Shakespeare, it’s more sophisticated and not afraid to use bad language, TV in the seventies was too afraid of upsetting Mary whitehouse
They've made plenty of great comedy since then.
quality comedy of the highest order
Ronnie Barker's greatest role
Favourite Porridge episode. This scene is brilliant.
One of the best episodes, Flether goes nuts" there is a theif among us!" In a prison 😂😂😂😂

"Is this the tin that's missing?"
"That's the one sir."
"Good."
Class, utter class. The kind of class that is long since gone in this day and age.
Lukewarm to Godber - Your not going to escape are you ? We have a good lunch today, we’ve got jelly! Brilliant.
You do not moooove!
When the BBC produced real entertainment.
RIP Sam Kelly
Is this the tins that missing ? That's the one Sir !.....It's the same humour as "Don't tell him Pike " British at its best !!!!
The best comedy ever off the BBC.
God bless Ronnie Barker
Best comedy ever!
My fav porridge moment.
What i love about this is when godber is mentioned as far as mckay is concerned yes its defo him 😂
Thanks, bosskat57 - I had no idea he was Kate Beckinsale's father! I've just favourited a video that I found where she talks about him and they show more clips of him and her mother. Didn't realise that actress was her mother either!
His other daughter couldn’t look more like him
His other daughter was in London's burning
Along with Yes, Minister/Prime Minuster , my favourite sitcom.
Mr. MacKay reminds me of my Dad who was a military man of Scots extraction. He had a much better sense of humor than MacKay but he could also be intimidatingly strict. Great show with lots of fond memories.
Had a Sergeant Major like him in the army.
@colinp2238 the actor had been one be first.
The guy praying at the end played a leading role in 'allo 'allo.
Sam Kelly. He also appeared in a couple of "Carry On" films.
Klop!
Comedy gold. They don't make em like the used to 🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant comedy at its its best x 😂😂❤❤
Hilarious! This is proper comedy! It's funny
Magic.
Comedy was great back then . The days when we could be ourselves and have fun with everything , rising damp ,on the buses ,bless this house etc . Now all the great comedy has gone
You do not moooove😂
Absolute classic
Poor old Bravinger was tricked, why are there not actors like this anymore.
If you made stuff like that now people would be falling over themselves to pay the license tax. Utterly wonderful.
If you knew how to spell "licence" people would be falling over themselves to take your opinion seriously.
@@cacambo589 I am not sure that a spelling mistake is enough to make most people disregard facts!
Fulton was brilliant
They only just got delivered and they went missing 🤣
Head chef went nuts 🤣
Interesting that fulton chose his real surname for the role😊😊
In my top ten British tv shows porridge is in the top five, auf wedersien pet number 1 written by those who wrote porridge
Ah, British comedies are the best! Beats the junk we have here in America.
Well... the programme aired from 1974-1977 and I think you equally had some brilliant comedians in America during this period.
Sadly our comedy is no where near the level of this today.
Your country gave us "Married with children" ,so it's not all bad.
Great stuff!
This show might be considered not PC today, but they nailed it. I know, I did 5 months for my first and last crime many decades ago
Not PC? Porridge is a series with criminals shown positively, and with prominent gay and black characters. If this came out today Tories would be calling it "woke"
@@njujuznem6554 You seem to be making an argument about agreeing, that's new
Classic comedy. That is when sitcoms were actually funny, not like the dross that passes for comedy now.
Barry the Sheep……… Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
When the BBC made comedy!
remind me vaguely of The case with the missing strawberries from the film the caine mutiny
hahaha "pick that up boy" its like being a kid again!
A young Christopher Biggins 😍 it's a good lunch today it's jelly
It's a plant, no it's a tin of pineapple!!
Classic.
Bril!. Nuff said!. 🙂
Someone was stealing the ribeye steaks every day 😍
Sam Kelly steals the scene right at the end.
@stargazinboi
I don't think he was referring to the scene, he was referring to the series.
Class
Keith Acton ( head chef) 😍
Thanks, Edgeworthscravat!
The prison officer went on to become the last Chief Executive of Sheffield
A whole scene without Fletch . They were all talented .
Shear class
Richard, Lennie Godber. the tall one with dark hair who says: Forget where i was!
2022 now and Porridge is British tv comedy at its very best, only challenged by Monty Python. 😂
Do not mooove!
Magnificent. But one tin to feed 100s of prisoners?!? That's hard. No Sky Sports in cells in those days.
It has to be 1 tin or it wouldn't be missed so easily and the comedy is gone.
Did McKay played the part in the pink Floyd film ?👍🏴
does any1 know who the actor is that plays mr birchwood and what else hes been in.he looks so familiar.god rest fulton mckay and richard beckinsale
I see at the end it says BBC Worldwide, but only the British pay for it.
Several times over, In fact!
That’s a plant no it’s a tin of pineapple chunks
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
never to be seen again
All this for a tinna chanks
Christopher Biggins 😍
Its a plant, No its not its a tin of pineapple chunks.
@gamewizard Thanks!
Nice answer bosskat57!
See, the BBC was a good network once
@MissJagUR
The one in the tall chef's hat.
Just like jury's Inn kitchen Manchester 🤣
Never make anything like this ever again never .
Which one was Kate Beckinsale's father?
Lennie the one who steals the pineapple chunks in the first place
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 His other daughter Samantha is the image of him.
how come bbc is advertising homebase? what about license payersl fee
all that fuss over one missing tin of fruit!!!! they treated like a murder was committed!!!
lol :)
It's a plant.
Leave Godber Alone
Peter file , Grasses , violence against old people , violence against women , and anything to do with domestic pets . WATCH YOUR BACK !
rofl!!
The New Woke BBC still takes the praise for the creation of a fantastic series like porridge . They can't make sh ite now
@tyhghgfewr Ronnie Barker isn't even in this scene you clown, lol.
TREVOR HARRIS
