45 Years Ago This Week

An all-time classic made its BBC debut: Porridge. Starring the iconic Ronnie Barker - David Jason's mentor in Open All Hours - and Richard (yes, father of Kate) Beckinsale, who also starred in Rising Damp before dying suddenly at he tragic age of 31. Fletcher's world-weary prison lifer paired with Lenny's innocence made for pure gold, but in comedy and warmth. HIGHLY recommended - get thee to Britbox now to watch!!
