Porridge is a British sitcom, starring Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, and broadcast on BBC1 from 1974 to 1977. The programme ran for three series and two Christmas specials. A feature film of the same name based on the series was released in 1979.
The sitcom focuses on two prison inmates, Norman Fletcher (played by Barker) and Lennie Godber (played by Beckinsale), who are serving time at the fictional HMP Slade in Cumberland. The show's title is a reference to both the traditional breakfast that used to be served in British prisons, and a 1950s British slang term for a prison sentence.

Ken Jones (horrible Ives) was a regular passenger when I was a bus driver in Aberystwyth, he lived in a small village called Llanrhystud, a lovely charming humble man he was.

Brian Wilde's character is Mr Barrowclough not Barrowclow

I don't think that the owner of the voice narrating this ever watched anything on TV, ever!

David Jason played Blanco not Bianco, among other errors.

Richard died of a heart attack, so you’ll have to be deeply saddened by that one instead.
-
Thanks for that, very enjoyable.

This man always without fail never manages to post a video without incorrect information. Also I suggest he renames it We are deeply saddened. However it does bring back some memories which you may have forgotten.

"We are deeply saddened by his passing" - so empathetic each time.
