Another brilliant video about a much loved programme. All the cast mentioned, with the aid of great script writing worked magic on screen. But what of the rest?Horrible Ives played by Ken Jones.Blanco Sir David Jason.Grouty Peter Vaughan and McLaren played by Tony Osoba(?) ***small little known fact before Porridge we had a show called " On her Majesty's Pleasure " also set in prison.And one of the guards was played by Ken Jones 😮
Beckinsale was as great a character actor as Ronnie, Nick Lyndhurst, David Jason - all of whom had Ronnie B as a mentor. Each time I see or here them all, I smile and laugh
Obviously the Narrator never watched Porridge or he would have known how to pronounce the names of the characters correctly - but that is an American, who wouldn't have understood most of the great comedy anyway!
Fulton Mackay rose to TV fame in the hit series Special Branch in the early 70's. Brian Wilde is mostly known for portraying Foggy im Last of the Summer Wine.
