Website: www.laurelandhardy.org I am a long standing fan of Ronnie Barker in his many different shows. So this site was a treat. I don't know if many readers know, but Ronnie did a half hour show with Roy Castle (as Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy), it was a brilliant tribute to Stan and Ollie. We published and interview with Ronnie in a recent Laurel and Hardy Magazine.

Website www.partsforolderchickens.tk I was glued to the Porridge @ 30 weekend over Christmas at my parents' house (they have digital, I don't!). Never watched a whole episode before this only being 23 (think I may have seen a few in the late eighties), but it beats all the other present day sitcoms hands down. The writing is magnificent, and the acting and delivery by Barker and Beckinsale bring the humour to life. Never knew until I visited this site that it is available on DVD, so that's a definite buy for me. Great website, very enjoyable too.

In response to Martin's comments about repeated gags I can think of a couple. In the episode "New Faces Old Hands" when Fletcher is asked to fill the sample flask his reply is "what, from here?". Clement and La Frenais were involved in scripting the Bond film "Never Say never Again" and Connery's Bond has the same line. There is also a line from Barker who says "Of course I trust you Godber. Besides, when you were all in the showers I went through all your gear." This line was also used by Oz in Auf Wiedesehen Pet. Does anyone know of any others?

Caught one afternoon of Porridge @ 30 over Christmas. BRILL!! I've been a fan since the beginning (When I was 10!!) So I can confirm that the comedy stands up as a child and an adult. The Movie is by far the best ever TV spin off film. As mentioned on the website, some ideas for the movie were "lifted" from the series. However, there is a scene in one episode between Warren and Fletch where they refer to a fellow inmate "Lugless Douglas . Clement and La Frenais also wrote a scene in an episode of "Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads" where Bob and Terry discuss an old school friend called Lugless Douglas . I know this makes me a bit of a dork, but does anyone know of any other recycled gags!

Hello Boss. Came across this site when I needed to find Biggins character name and was surprised to find I share his birthday. Nothing Lukewarm about that! Great work, have always loved the show and not just because of the name conection or the fact that I eventually lived in Muswell Hill for five years. Thinking of that shouldn't there be a statue of Fletch situated there? Cheers Boss.

I got all the DVDs for Christmas (including the Christmas specials and the movie). I'd always preferred Open All Hours, but now I've spent days watching non-stop Porridge my opinion has changed! I'm now a fully fledged Beckinsale fan, so I'll be buying the complete set of Rising Damp as well. My favourite Porridge moment is probably when Fletcher and Godber break back into the prison in the movie. Fantastic stuff.

Porridge is a work of absolute genius. Ronnie Barker and the unforgettable Richard Beckinsale were perfect as Fletcher and Godber. This show will never be surpassed. Pure and simply a masterpiece
