synopsis


'Porridge’ is slang for a jail sentence, and habitual offender Norman Stanley Fletcher (Barker) is doing five years. Six episodes of cynicism, self-preservation and bare-faced cheek as Fletcher takes on the Slade prision system. New Faces, Old Hands "Twenty-three and you want to go straight? What kind of talk is that? You've got your whole life in front of you!" It's Godber's first time in prison, and Fletch is going to teach him the ways. The Hustler Ives is such a loser that if Elizabeth Taylor had triplets, he'd have been the one in the middle. But there's no way he's going to be left out of Fletch's gambling enterprise. A Night In Fletch explains to Godber that the best way to cope with his first night in prision, is to see it as just a "quiet night in". Trouble is, Godber's got another 698 to go. A Day Out The rest of teh working party are thrilled to have a day out, but Fletch is masking indifference - what's so exciting about digging a ditch anyway? Ways and Means Who would want to spend eight hours a day sewing fishing nets? Not Fletch, who is hellbent on a cushy job in the library. Men Without Women Fletch fancies himself as a bit of an agony aunt and is called upon by his fellow inmates to help out with affairs of the heart.
