It's Friday! We made it to the end of the week! What are you watching this weekend? I am watching the movie version of PORRIDGE. Sadly, my source is just a 4:3 SD DVD. I don't know of anything better for quality. #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #WitzEnd
Tonight I start the third and final series of PORRIDGE. No Radio Times covers to promote the new series but we get a preview. The episodes are "A Storm in a Teacup" and "Poetic Justice". #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #BBC #RadioTimes
Tonight, I continue on with PORRIDGE! What a fun series! Tonight is the second Christmas special "The Desperate Hours" and tomorrow I start the final series of PORRIDGE! Here are the Radio Times listings. #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #BBC #RadioTimes
Tonight I finish up S2 of PORRIDGE with "Happy Release" & "The Harder They Fall". This series we saw David Jason joining in some episodes and tonight is the first time we see Peter Vaughan as Harry Grout! #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #BBC #RadioTimes
Tonight I retrun to PORRIDGE with S2 of the series "Just Desserts" & "Heartbreak Hotel". When S2 came back, it garnered another Radio Times cover. I found the first series great! #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #BBC #RadioTimes
Book cover: “Sauce: Cheeky Pictures, Jocular Jests and Racy Rhymes of Days Gone By” by Ronnie Barker (Coronet, 1978)
At best an historical curiosity. Barker curates a book of so-called ‘saucy’ illustrations, alongside suggestive verse and black-and-white soft-core pornography dating mostly from the early 20th century. Much of this must have felt a bit off even at the date of publication. #RonnieBarker #Sauce
Tonight I finish up S1 of PORRIDGE. Tonight " Ways and Means" & "Men Without Women" with appearances of Sam Kelly and Patricia Brake. Really enjying this series! Radio Times listings below. #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #BBC #RadioTimes
Do you ever get tongue-tied? Start sweating at the thought of speaking in public? I occasionally find myself pismronunciation worms, I mean mispronouncing words, just check this out…

Richard Benkinsale and Ronnie Barker in Porridge
Ronnie Barker was born on 25 Sept 1929. He was known for roles in British comedy TV series such as The Frost Report, The Two Ronnies, Porridge, & Open All Hours. Porridge was always one of my favourite sitcoms from the 70s. Ronnie was undoubtedly a genius. He died, aged 76, in 2005. #RonnieBarker
