Porridge: Inside Out

Porridge: Inside Out

Banged Up (1x2)


Air date: May 28, 2014

This is quite simply TV heaven. Just stick two colossi of comedy writing in front of a telly and get them to comment on favourite scenes. At one point in another delicious serving of Porridge memories, writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais do just that, the latter nailing the success of the show’s plots and its main character with one phrase. But there’s much more besides. Celebrity fan Simon Day tracks down the famous, clanging doors of HM Prison Slade, there’s brief behind-the-scenes footage from 1977 (more!), and Kate Beckinsale, daughter of Richard (Godber) will bring a lump to your throat with a story about her favourite episode.
