4.0 out of 5 stars
Top of division two,
By anglepoise876 (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porridge (3 TV Episodes) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
While I hesitate to use the word "genius" in connection with Ronnie Barker or "Porridge" (each is, in the end, not in the first rank of British comedy) both are highly recommended for their intelligence, wit and quality."Porridge" is plainly not in the same league as "Fawlty Towers" or "Black Adder" or "Dad's Army" but is perhaps top of division two--an excellent example of the more quotidian British comedy series a la "Keeping Up Appearances"--not that "Porridge" has anything in common with KUA except the high standard of writing and acting. Ronnie Barker plays a criminal who is well used to life in prison and with wit and sometimes touching humanity helps his young cellmate Godber (Richard Beckinsale of "Rising Damp") to get through each trying day inside.

Ronnie kicked the bucket today and I will always look back on him as some special.
Porridge is so REAL and FUNNY! |
