Porridge Revisited Talk
Patch, Grays Yard, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 6QR
This talk reviews the TV comedy starring Ronnie Barker. It re-acquaints the audience with the programme and its main characters and revisits some of their adventures. It looks at some of the practices shown in Porridge that were later incorporated into the wider regime in UK prisons today. I show clips from the programme, which are templates for modern-day diversity, equality, and inclusivity (yes, really!) by using the strongest tool of them all: humour. You will see why Porridge is just as relevant today as when it was first shown on TV.
