I'm trying to rally fans of Porridge to get on the www.cjsonline.gov.uk/insidejustice website to vote for Mr Barrowclough on their POLL for Britains favourite justice character. Tip - you can vote every day! He's languishing in 7th place, so get on there and vote before they close the poll.

Hello Porridge fans! I just wanted to let you know that you have a chance to get Mr Barrowclough from Porridge voted as the greatest British justice character of all time. Follow the link below and vote on the poll - Mr Barrowclough is currently languishing with a lousy 3% of the vote, with Sherlock Holmes out in front with 56%. Let's get voting and make sure Mr Barrowclough gets the recognition he deserves! You can find the online vote at: http://insidejustice.cjsonline.gov.uk

Website: www.goldonian.org Anybody know about the screenwriters for porridge? Does the name Frank Norman appear, of Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be fame? I know he wrote a few sketches for The Two Ronnies but I am unable to find names of screenwriters for Porridge, or he could have been an adviser?? Regarding Porridge a TV show you can watch and watch again in a few weeks and still love every moment. If only the BBC could find this magic again. An excellent web site about a very funny man and excellent actor.

I'm only 18 but I love Porridge not to mention Going Straight. Actually all of Ronnie Barker's work but my fav is Porridge. Love the site. If you're interested I've typed the Going Straight lyrics since I found them nowhere else online. Email me and I'll send them for the site. Note from Porridge Webmaster: Andrew sent the lyrics in and you can get hold of them by clicking here.

I am a true Porridge fan, love every episode. I have got them all on DVD now as well as the film and Going Stright. Also have the books, well written and researched. Fletcher and Godber great characters, I can watch them over and over again, they don't make commedy shows like that anymore. 20th Century Classics!!!!

Easily the best Britcom ever. How it came only 7th is a travesty. Only discovered Porridge last year when I watched an episode with my dad (may have been A Day Out) - became irrevocably hooked. Mr Mackay has to be one of the great characters in ANY TV show - sitcom or otherwise. My favourite episode is 'New Faces, Old Hands', if only for "What, from here?". Johnny Vaughn put forward 20 reasons why Porridge is Britain's best sitcom. I can think of 21 off the top of my head (the 18 episodes, two Christmas specials and Prisoner and Escort) - the great thing about all of them is that they're inherently rewatchable time and time again. Although I do think the third series tailed off a little in comparison to the first two... One other thing I didn't see anywhere here - there are some continuity errors. In 'Ways and Means', McLaren says he's in for 3 years. Yet in 'Going Home', he's still doing time while Fletch leaves "3 years, 8 months and 4 days" later. Which, considering he went inside in September 1974, means he would have been out in May 1978. But when he runs into Mr Mackay on the train, Mr Mackay's APRIL birthday is approaching! Also, Mr Mackay's birthday changes from April 25 in 'Disturbing the Peace' to April 23 in 'Going Home'. Wow I can ramble... Finally - I think adding more detailed synopses of each episode as well as the 2-line summaries would be a great addition to this site. Love the place, Love Porridge, and hopefully Fletch and Godber are keeping on the straight and narrow upstairs.

Recently, Sam Kelly, who played "Bunny" Warren in Porridge, was on Midsomer Murders the other week. I can't remember who he was but my mum made me watch it. Thought ya might want to know Lewis (with a "L")

As the first person due to play Fletch on stage in the U.K. I can honestly say this site is spot on. It is run by someone who loves the series as much as me. Please will all fans try to pop along to Tring in June, and they will be made more than welcome. For more details E mail me at rookers@tesco.net "whats an isthmus?"

It's good to know there's another Porridge fan out there. My favourite actors are: Ronnie Barker, Richard Beckinsale, and Fulton Mackay. Mackay is just phoenomenal.

With regards to what Liz was asking about Particia Brake, I just thought that I would add that, Liz, Particia Brake recently appeared in Coronation Street as Viv Baldwin. (Danny's mother) Hope that's helpful :) Yeah, Tom that is quite scary I noticed that too. Richard, I think that was filmed somewhere in Cumberland, but Im not sure? Anyone know?
