	BBC - Comedy Guide - Porridge
		Fletcher was a marvellous creation - a bona-fide TV comedy icon, one of an elite number that also includes Alf Garnett, the Steptoes, Basil Fawlty and Victor Meldrew - and Ronnie Barker, who by the mid-1970s was at the acme of his profession, was sensationally good in the role.
		Porridge was so successful that people wondered why prison hadn't been used before as a situation for comedy, the general explanation being that jail was such a sensitive setting that only the finest-judged writing and performances could make it acceptable.
		But, actually, Porridge did have antecedents: an earlier ITV show, Her Majesty's Pleasure, and the 1960 feature film comedy Two Way Stretch (director Robert Day) which featured Peter Sellers as a cockney character akin to Fletcher, Bernard Cribbins as a Godber type and Lionel Jeffries as an officious warden, much like MacKay.

		In fact, his role is pivotal to the comic element of both the film and the TV series - virtually all the oral humour comes from his utterances and his philosophies of life (both within and outside of prison), and from his reactions to the circumstances on which the sitcom is based.
		Based on the hugely successful TV show, this film spin off of the cult prison comedy stars all of the cast character favourites including Ronnie Barker as Fletcher and Richard Beckinsdale as his hapless sidekick Godber.

		The recipe I follow is called variously "porridge," "rice pudding" and "gruel," is a lot like this one, but you don't need to follow any strict instructions here.
		You cook about a cup of rice in a cup of water, then once the rice is done and the water is absorbed, begin adding five cups of milk (I'd suggest whole milk), about a cup at a time, until all the milk is absorbed.
