History

Porridge originated from an idea used in a 1973 series called Seven of One, also starring Barker. Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. Seven of One is a British comedy series that aired on BBC1 in 1973 Each of its seven 30-minute episodes saw him playing a new character in a different setting.

In the second instalment, "Prisoner and Escort", a prisoner, Norman Stanley Fletcher (played by Barker), was being escorted from London to Slade Prison by two warders: the easy-going Mr Barrowclough (Brian Wilde) and the stern Mr Mackay (Fulton Mackay). Norman Stanley 'Fletch' Fletcher (born February 2, 1932) is the main character in the popular BBC Sitcom Porridge. Brian George Wilde ( 13 June 1927 &ndash 20 March 2008) was an English Actor, best known for his roles in television comedy Mr Mackay was a character in the popular BBC Sitcom Porridge, played by Fulton Mackay. Fulton Mackay (12 August 1922 - 6 June 1987 was a Scottish actor and is still fondly remembered for his role as Mr Mackay in 'Porridge' which ran between 1974 and 1977

After a long train journey, Fletch asks to relieve himself at the tiny station where the prison minibus is waiting to take them to the prison. He relieves himself into the petrol tank, and when the van stops in the middle of the moors, Mackay strides off to the prison for help. Fletch encourages Barrowclough to spend the night in an abandoned cottage. Here, Fletch escapes and spends the night running around the moors. He eventually discovers a second empty property and hides within it. Fletch finds that he is not alone, and prepares to attack his companion. Only then does it become obvious that the other resident is Barrowclough, and that the cottage is indeed the same one from which he had set off. Back at the prison, Mackay tells Fletch that the petrol tank was fuller than when last checked, and that it was 'definitely not 5-star'. Thus started the humorous conflict between Mackay and Fletch.

A year later, when the BBC were looking for a premise for a sitcom in which Barker could star, this episode was chosen. (The first Seven of One programme was also developed into a series: Open All Hours. Open All Hours was a BBC Sitcom written by Roy Clarke which ran for four series (26 episodes in all between 1976 and 1985 with a pilot )

Basic premise

H.M. Prison Slade Front Gatehouse (in reality the former St Albans Prison Gatehouse)
H. M. Prison Slade Front Gatehouse (in reality the former St Albans Prison Gatehouse)

The central character of Porridge is Norman Stanley Fletcher, described by his sentencing judge as "an habitual criminal". St Albans is the main urban area of the City and District of St Albans in southern Hertfordshire, England, around north of central London. Norman Stanley 'Fletch' Fletcher (born February 2, 1932) is the main character in the popular BBC Sitcom Porridge. Fletch's cellmate is Lennie Godber, a naïve inmate serving his first prison sentence, whom Fletch takes under his wing. Lennie Godber was a character in the popular BBC Sitcom Porridge. Mr Mackay is a tough warder whose bark often turns out to be worse than his bite, and with whom Fletch often comes into conflict. Mr Mackay was a character in the popular BBC Sitcom Porridge, played by Fulton Mackay. Mackay's subordinate, Mr Barrowclough, is more sympathetic and timid — and therefore prone to manipulation by his charges.

Each episode begins with a narration by the judge (voiced by Ronnie Barker):

"Norman Stanley Fletcher, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences — you will go to prison for five years. "

The prison exterior shown in the title sequence (and some episodes) is that of Maidstone Prison, which was also featured in the BBC comedy series Birds of a Feather. Birds of a Feather is a British sitcom that aired on BBC One from 1989 to 1998 In the episode "Pardon Me" Fletcher speaks to Blanco in the prison gardens: this sequence was filmed in the grounds of an old brewery just outside Baldock on the A505 to Royston. The barred windows closely approximated a prison. This property has since been demolished. The 1979 film was shot entirely at Chelmsford Prison (Essex UK).

Nicholas Lyndhurst (born 20 April 1961 is an English Actor best known for his roles as Rodney Trotter in Only Fools and Horses and The episodes regularly saw Fletcher offered temptations to commit crime and followed his reluctance to find work. The series lasted six episodes, and generally was not as well received as its predecessor. Following the sudden death of Beckinsale, Ronnie Barker decided not to proceed with a second series though the first series did win a BAFTA in March 1979 just days after Beckinsale died. A visibly upset Barker told the audience at the ceremony that the loss of Beckinsale meant he could not celebrate the award.

Life Beyond the Box

In 2003, a mockumentary, Life Beyond the Box, was produced. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar.

Film

The last "episode" of Porridge was made in 1979 as a feature film, shot entirely on location (Chelmsford Prison, Essex, UK). Year 1979 ( MCMLXXIX) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1979 Gregorian calendar) All the regular sitcom warders and inmates were involved, with the exception of Lukewarm and Harris. There was also a new governor, played by Geoffrey Bayldon. Geoffrey Bayldon (born 7 January 1924) is a British Actor. After playing roles in dramas of Shakespeare, he became famous with the

In the film, Fletch and Godber are forced by another inmate to escape from prison and then have to try to break back in before they're found by the police. Because Godber had been released in the final series episode, and yet was back in the same prison and in the same cell with the same cellmate again, the film fits into the original run of the show, and not after.

Three one-off characters made an impact in the film. Rudge, played by Daniel Peacock, was a young, timid prisoner in the Godber mould, seen arriving for his three-year stretch for shoplifting at the beginning of the film. Daniel Peacock is a British actor writer and director best known for his work with the team of The Comic Strip Presents Shoplifting (also known as retail theft, or shrinkage within the retail industry is Theft of goods from a Retail establishment by an ostensible He came into his own when he showed his outstanding football skills during the game which led to the breakout.

Unlike the television episodes, the film is not a BBC production, with no references to the corporation on the DVD release (2003).

Essential viewing for prisoners

Porridge was immensely popular with British prisoners. This is a list of British television sitcoms that have been adapted into cinema films either during their original television run or afterwards Erwin James, an ex-prisoner who writes a bi-weekly column for The Guardian newspaper, stated that:

"What fans could never know, however, unless they had been subjected to a stint of Her Majesty's Pleasure, was that the conflict between Fletcher and Officer Mackay was about the most authentic depiction ever of the true relationship that exists between prisoners and prison officers in British jails up and down the country. The Guardian (until 1959 The Manchester Guardian) is a British Newspaper owned by the Guardian Media Group. I'm not sure how, but writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais [. . . ] grasped the notion that it is the minor victories against the naturally oppressive prison system that makes prison life bearable. "

He also noted:

"When I was inside, Porridge was a staple of our TV diet. In one high-security prison, a video orderly would be dispatched to tape the programme each week. If they missed it, they were in trouble. "

Contributions to the English language

The script allowed the prisoners to swear without offending viewers by using the word "naff" in place of ruder words ("Naff off!", "Darn your own naffing socks", "Doing next to naff all"), thereby popularising a word that had been recorded at least as early as 1966. [1] Ronnie Barker did not claim to have invented it, and in a television interview in 2003 it was explained to him on camera what the word meant, as he hadn't a clue.

A genuine neologism was "nerk", which was used in place of the more offensive "berk" (Cockney rhyming slang, short for "Berkeley Hunt"). A neologism (from Greek neo = "new" + logos = "word" is a word that although devised relatively recently in a specific time period has been Rhyming slang is a form of Slang in which a word is replaced either by another word or phrase that rhymes with it or by the first word of such a phrase in which The Berkeley Hunt is a hunt in England. Its country lies in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire, between Gloucester and Another term was "scrote" (presumably derived from scrotum), meaning a nasty, unpleasant person. In some Male Mammals the scrotum - also 'scrutum' or 'scrootum' - is a protuberance of Skin and Muscle containing the Testicles

Novelisations

Novelisations of the three series of Porridge were issued by BBC Books, as well as an adaptation of Going Straight.
