Re: Favourite Television Viewing

Just to keep Joan busy I thought I should place some new TV items on the board. :cool::redrose:


.Open All Hours - Series 1 - Ep 4 - Beware Of The Dog .

Comedy giants Ronnie Baker and David Jason both on screen together it isn't a surprise that this is a much loved sitcom.

A local crime wave scares the wites out of an already security-obsessed Arkwright - there's nothing for it, the shop has to be fortified!

There are many episodes on Youtube.

Re: Favourite Television Viewing

Porridge The Movie . Times are hard for habitual guest of her majesty Norman Stanley Fletcher (RONNIE BARKER). The new prison officer, Beale, makes MacKay (FULTON MACKAY) look soft and whats more, an escape plan is hatching from the cell of prison godfather Grouty and Fletcher wants no part of it.
The breakout is set for the day of a morale-raising football match between a "celebrity" football team and the inmates of Slade. Everything is going to plan until Godber (RICHARD BECKINSALE) is injured on the goal post. In the ensuing confusion, Fletcher finds himself on the wrong side of the prison walls and must now try and break back into prison.
