    Josh understands shows like this and OFAH better than any other American reactors. Gets the humour and the character dynamics/emotion are not lost on him either.

      Maybe because he’s open minded and because he’s from Gary Indiana and has seen a lot more of the harsh side of life. A lot of Americans from comfortable circumstances are narrow minded and inept (and small minded).

    This episode really hits the nail on the head with regards to some of the biggest challenges of doing time. This series was more than just a comedy, it had many incredible moments of serious connections to the real challenges of prison.

    Superb reaction, you really get it. This is a really deep comedy without any pretensions to being so. Two excellent actors, both long gone, Beckinsale from a heart condition at a freakishly early age. R.I.P. Lenny & Fletch.

    Really enjoying your Porridge reactions. Grew up with this series when it first came out (yep I'm old). As you say the characters grow throughout and at times, the storylines can get quite deep and you find yourself really getting a feel for the struggles of prison life.

    I remember this episode from when I first watched , so many years ago. To write comedy can't be easy, but to write a half hour episode about two guys locked in a cell with absolutely nothing in the way of distraction, and still make it funny, warm, engaging, and to make you feel you have learned by the experience of watching it. Two great actors, and a great script.

  • @Theinternalrewrite
    @Theinternalrewrite Год назад +2

    Porridge was good at occasionally glimpsing the bleakness of life in prison, why it should be a deterrent. There's an episode where you spend some time hearing the bangs and clangs of each cell door being slammed closed and locked before lights out at the end of the day. It's haunting and demoralising to have curtailed freedoms represented by a series of hollow, dull sounds. A very well made show.

  • @christinebakewell3475

    Nice to see an American enjoy what is a quintessentially British sitcom starring the late great Ronnie barker very rare for an American to understand this very British humour- might like ( as others have suggested) RISING DAMP and OPEN ALL HOURS both very old but very brilliant.

    Shame about Richard Beckinsale (Lennie) who died at 31. He'd already starred in 3 successful sitcoms (The Lovers, Porridge, Rising Damp) and you wonder how his career would have gone had he lived for another 40 or 50 years

  • @Denathorn

    Like I said, Porridge is classic TV, slighty slower then the likes of OFAH and Red Dwarf, it's a comfy sitcom, still funny and has some great moments, but it is indeed one of them shows the whole family could sit down, enjoy and when the credits rolled you felt you really had been entertained! :)
    In the era this and many other great TV shows were aired, I bet noone had a single problem paying for a TV license, now... Sadly, the BBC we loved back then is well and truly in the history books, in the most part, from a small handful of shows, which they are shutting down too. People actually despise paying the license fee because it is genuinely not worth the money when it comes to BBC content now, apart from the Attenborough documentaries, they are second to none I will admit, not even Discovery can touch the quality of Sir David's stuff... For many years the amount of people wanting it scrapped and the BBC being funded by the subscription model is growing, and this reflects the state of their sitcoms if you ask me, generally, they are just rubbish.

Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (Miss Jones`s real brother out of Rising Damp ) they have 141 writing credits between them, including , Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Lovejoy, The Likely Lads, Shine On Harvey Moon (us older Englishmen will know then) also movies such as The Commitments, Vise Versa, Bond- Never Say Never Again, Flushed Away , to name but a few .

    I knew Josh would enjoy Porridge. It's such a well-balanced sitcom. There's enough of a storyline and emotional moments without it interfering with the comedy. I love OFAH, but for me the Trotter family grew too much and it became complicated, unwieldy and smooshy. On the other hand, the Roy Clarke sitcoms could be like groundhog day, overly repetitive with every episode following pretty much the same formula. Fawlty Towers was devoid of any empathy for the characters other than perhaps pity. I love all of those programmes, but Porridge just seemed to get everything right.
