few whisky chasers just on the train from Carlisle to London. He mentions that an average day in Muswell Hill involved visiting four different pubs for a 'swift half'.".. but in working class British terms that barely even counts as wetting your whistle. That's perfectly normal social drinking by British standards and is not worthy of the expression "something of a drinker".
567:
I have already corrected the error about the crime Fletcher was sentenced for which was breaking and entering. The previous version had it as stealing a lorry and crashing it through garden walls and a shed but this was just a (very old) shaggy dog story that clearly went over the head of the author.
598:
I also think it needs to rewritten. Although I have not watched this series, I think the information about the character was randomly jotted down and did not really have a proper structure or breakdown. In my opinion, the structure should have a logical flow...start with full name, location, career.
571:
I don't know where the person who wrote this is from... "He is also something of a drinker - on one occasion, after sneaking away from an outdoor trip, he goes straight to a pub and drinks several pints of beer, one of which he downs in one. In Going Straight, he consumes several pints of beer and a

It was a build up to the play on words punch-line "I asked for six other fences to be taken into consideration". (Fences/Offences... Geddit?). It's clearly not intended to be taken to be true but Mr Barrowclough fails to get the joke... Much as the author of the previous version seems to have done.
575:
Also... His son Raymond was not conceived at the cinema. He was conceived at home when Ingrid was at the cinema not Fletcher and Isobel. In the episode "Women Without Men" when Fletcher is on compassionate leave Ingrid says that if he gives her the money she'll go to the pictures leading to Fletch
473:
What? "LoL, that was funny" or "LoL, you fool, Steptoe, Till Death and Hancock were not crap, but rather important and influential televisual productions that have shaped the landscape of the British sitcom"? Either way I agree, but I still think "A Night In" is the most memorable example. Love
524:
If I recall correctly in the first series when he gets weekend release he says he's been able to watch Sputs win at home, whereas in the film he's says a disillusioned lifelong Orient fan. I guess the show's and film's writers didn't have an indepth guide of every throwaway line for reference.
444:
Porridge wasn't the first sitcom to do a single-set dialogue-heavy episode. Galton and Simpson did it several times in Hancock and Steptoe & Son, and several episodes of Till Death Us Do Part were all talk.

saying that that was how her brother was conceived. Ingrid was out at the pictures... Fletch and Mrs Fletch stayed home and "conjugated" as he would say.
487: 354: 668: 534: 608: 663: 486:"is widely renowned as one of the great comic creations." Personally, I think he's hilarious... but some references to that claim wouldn't go amiss. 591: 245: 140: 643: 406: 235: 564:
This entry is pretty poor and in my opinion needs a complete rewrite. Preferably by somebody who has watched the whole thing at least once.
