Porridge
Fletcher's inside story - even funnier as a film
A comedic prison romp built on character humor and camaraderie, where a habitual offender navigates institutional absurdity and unwanted entanglement in an escape scheme.
Times are hard for habitual guest of Her Majesty Norman Stanley Fletcher. The new prison officer, Beale, makes MacKay look soft and what's more, an escape plan is hatching from the cell of prison godfather Grouty and Fletcher wants no part of it.
