Just finished re-watch of whole of Clement and La Frenais' PORRIDGE on #BBCiPlayer (now disappeared!). It's unfathomably good -- by which I mean, it creates a mostly feelgood comedy while implying a penal system that might just crush you if you don't fall in with just the right old lag. I love everyone in it, but of course Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale are supreme. I was a Godber to a colleague's Fletch when I started teaching. We've all been there, I'm guessing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00789bm
I caught this by chance whilst channel-hopping. A great reminder of how suddenly and brutally our democratic rights can be stolen from under our noses.
