    Moments like this you see why even those in lock up enjoyed watching Porridge, it really humanises everyone in there.

    Aunty can also refer to your Mums friends, growing up I called lots of my Mums friends Aunty whatever name, this is quite common in the UK I presume it is in a lot of places, I always assumed Godber was referring to a friend of his Mums.
    I think it comes from children calling adults by their first name is considered rude or inappropriate, but calling a close family friend Mrs or Mr whatever is too formal, so calling them Aunt Jenny or whatever is a good compromise. plus its almost like close friends of your parents are considered to be part of the family.

    I love Porridge. Sometimes though, I have to stop and realise when I'm watching a scene that briefly touches on a serious subject, like the desperation and mental health, as we'd say now, in this episode. That must've been rare for a British sitcom of that era. I can't think of any others that came close. Maybe Steptoe and Son, as there were some moments in that where you felt the emotional torture and blackmail of Harold having to look after his elderly father, and also the poverty. I think I'm just picking up on this or vocalising my thoughts because of the world we live in today.

      It was very 'woke' as they would say now.
      I've seen behind the scenes archives and they are all really middle class luvvies 🤣
      I think the truth might be: there was a social consciousness prior to the year 2000. We are battered over the head with that it was far less PC at the time. But it really wasn't. Even the Sweeney wasn't as masculine as some may wish it to be.
      If that makes sense.

    It was sarcasm/irony 😅 The Isle of Wight is an island in the English Channel, 2 to 5 miles (3.2 to 8.0 kilometres) off the coast of Hampshire, across the Solent. It is the largest and second-most populous island in England. Referred to as "The Island" by residents, the Isle of Wight has resorts that have been popular holiday destinations since Victorian times.

      The Isle of Wight is in a different time zone from the rest of Britain. You have to put your watch back 50 years when you visit. 😀

      To be fair, I've only been there once...and that was as a child. I remember the coloured sand and the ferry/boat that carried cars across water with no regard to human passengers 🤣
      The line did make me laugh as it was the poor man's Jersey etc. I guess. It's difficult to explain.. It just made me chuckle 😂 A very throw away line of its time but still can resonate nearly 50 years later.

    A great episode, although I agree that No Way Out is better. What's curious in this one is that the governor is a staunch teetotaler and is strictly against drinking, legal or illegal, and yet in the previous episode, he hosted a sherry party.
