I was looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this episode. Porridge is definitely one of those shows that people love to say "couldn't be made today", but it was surprisingly progressive for its time, and dealt with some very real issues. Tony Osoba, who plays McClaren, was actually the first black Scottish actor on British television, and yes, he does appear more in the series!
It had Black characters and homosexual characters but was never woke. Modern writers are usually crap.
@@countofdownable nowt wrong wi woke mate
@@stalfithrildi5366 There was nowt wrong wi what it originally stood for but since the phrase was hijacked and repurposed it's come to represent EVERYTHING wrong wi the modern world, if you disagree then either your heads been up your arse the last 10 years or you're on board wi it all
@@countofdownable Aren't they just....
Isn't Porridge an absolute gem? There are so many facets to it
I swear the characters in this show are still great. This show was the best. Even the less-than-PC language they use, never comes across as malicious so a lot of it slides for me and is taken in good humour. Ronnie Barker was one of the all time greats at comedic writing/acting. I'm glad you locked on to this and are enjoying it. There are so many wonderful characters still to be introduced, all with Fletcher at the heart of it.
5:26 prior to the battle of hastings William the conquerors nickname was actually William the Bastard
To most Saxons, it still was after the Battle of Hastings.
What makes porridge great is that the characters are realistic even when they're black or gay. both Mcclaren and Lukewarm are still characters outside these labels and the rest of the mostly white, straight characters aren't seen as enemies to them. they're all in the same boat.
If this was made today there would be an entire episode about the prisoners accepting homosexuality and racial intersectionality.
4:25 this has got to be one of my favourite moments in porridge, Fletcher may not be a violent man but if he needs to resort to it he's able to show why you shouldn't start sh/t with him
And the fact that he doesn't just show who's in charge and that's it, he then shows him why he's doing the wrong thing and teach the young man a lesson.
Tony Osoba is such a good actor. This scene gives insight to the character of McClaren and British society at the time. One of my favourite episodes.
Exemplary writing from Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.
Porridge is a classic
Absolutely!
They censor fletchers taste in wall art now though! 🤣🎉
It is a great show =]
What makes the series so superb is the humanity in Fletcher's character. It's that element that makes the show flow. Ronnie Barker here is at the top of his game. Even the director of the American show said his version wasn't in the same league as the original British version because of Ronnie Barker's performance....
classic line, “perfectly formed what?… Well I’ll give you a clue - there was two of them, and they went up and down when she ran“ 🤣
I used to watch this with my Grandad god rest him and we did nothing but laugh .. Fletcher is always scheming .. also in the later episodes see if you can spot David Jason (Del Boy)
My grandad loved Porridge too and we used to watch it with him. He was quite like Fletcher in many ways.
One of best British comedies of all time. 👍
McClaren certainly returns.
Tony Osboa is one of the very few actors of the show still alive.
I love how you say "porge"
I love this one because he gets through to someone who is angry at the world and again, starts to guide them to how to be better... well better while in prison anyway
Richard Beckinsale who played Godber can you guess who is daughter is.
Bloody hell, not this again! 🤦🏻♂️😴
Porridge is a British classic and very well worked plots that always works for Fletcher somehow. Timeless classic, even though some of the words are spicy for today, but wasn't in 1974+. Never ever seen a prison based comedy this good or better.
I love seeing you have such a great laugh at this awesome programme. And finding hilarious all the jokes which today would be considered offensive. I find it so heartwarming 👌
Little Women is a coming of age story about sisters during the American Civil War. Fletcher cons the guy into thinking it is an erotic novel about pygmies.
Mr Wainwright turns up in Series 2, Episode 3 - and yes, he is a b******.
Mclaren is one of the best characters.
Good episode showing a story between him and Fletch.
Fletcher could see the future.
There is the original pilot from ronnie barker series seven of one. It featured 7 individual pilots. Two of which became series. One was Open All Hours. The other was "Prisoner and Escort" which was the episode that became Porridge. It will be worth a reaction as it is the first episode. Also there is a spin off film called "Porridge" and "Going Straight" where Flecther is out of prison.
And 2 Christmas specials which are fantastic.
@@elizabethkelly586 yep! Defo.👍
As you say these days we don't bat an eyelid at kids born out of wedlock/mix-raced, the funny (but sad) thing is those who were labeled racists for showing pragmatic concern about such things back in the day have been somewhat vindicated as today we live in the very world they predicted where fatherlessness and racial ambiguity have indeed created a huge % of folks deeply scarred and hostile toward the ideas of identity or belonging
Fletcher is a great human being, who's ended up in prison.
Barker both wrote and acted the role so well, that I can only advise keep watching.
Porridge was written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (who were also responsible for the brilliant 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?'), not by Barker.
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais wrote Porridge, not Barker. They've been incredible in gauging the mood of a nation for decades.
See Auf Wiedersein Pet and Boys from the Blackstuff. 👏
Yes, you're both right.
Not this one the last one’really enjoying your posts and your infectious laughter🍡
Also if you haven't seen it yet (I've seen a lot of Karl Pilkington), check out Karl Pilkington- satisfied fool. It is a bit more serious of Karl's work, but really enjoyable
I will check it out thanks for the recommendation bud.
'we won't get any bookings next year'hhaa

That's the mockumentary of a follow up to see what Fletch is doing now(2003). Appearances from some of the other cast. Mclaren is funny in it. As is Ives. Featuring "previously unseen footage and dramatic reconstructions" 😂 Narrated by Bill Nighy.
Life Beyond the Box - Norman Stanley Fletcher
All I know about Little Women is that it's sorta like Gone With the Wind without the ardent bigotry.
I have Gone with the Wind on my bookshelf. I haven't read it for a while, but I don't remember any ardent bigotry.
@@MsMounen Uh, it is a romantic depiction of the CSA with the main worry of the 'heroine' being her marriage rather than the conditions the black people were subjected to.
@@Naylte what is the csa?
@@Naylte the main character is Scarlet, a member of the southern upper class. She is far from perfect, her most admirable Characteristic I thought, being her determination to carry on no matter what. The story is told from her perspective I believe. What is the likelihood that she would be spending her time worrying about the wellbeing of the slaves on her Dad's plantation? Considering that she is extremely self centred? Thinking about it, I believe her main concerns were with running her business and holding things together weren't they? And obsessing over her cousin Ashley.
