Synopsis
If you were serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure, you wouldn't get Christmas privileges half as good as this - two 40-minutes specials from inside the walls of Slade prison!

"No Way Out" - In his innocence, Godber is looking forward to Christmas, but Fletch knows that if, ''there's one big event around here, it's not the coming of Our Lord, it's the tunnelling of Tommy Slocombe''. And this Christmas, he is determined to stay well clear of Tommy Slocombe, his dodgy mates and their even dodgier plans for escape.
"The Desperate Hours" - So far, Christmas doesn't look good for Fletch and Godber - Mackay has discovered the illicit liquor they've been brewing in their cell since July and they're up before the Governor. However, whilst they're waiting to see him, things suddenly take a turn for the better... they get caught up in the psychotic Reg Urwin's attempt to take Mr Baraclough hostage (he's after a 'copter and 10,000 in used notes). Can Fletch be the hero of the day?

5.0 out of 5 stars Ho Ho Ho, 31 Dec 2004

By	S. Kerr "DVDaft" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Superb value. Both Porridge Christmas Specials plus the episode of the BBC Britain's Best Sitcom on Porridge in full (about 1 hour). This is a must for fans of good old Fletch and co.
Worth the money for the Britain's Best Sitcom programme alone. It's great to see cast members reminisce and see them as they are now, for example Sam Kelly (Bunny Warren) and Tony Osoba (McClaren.) The programme is presented by Johnny Vaughan - please don't let that put you off!

As for episodes themselves - pure golden Porridge.

Mr Mackay orders you to by it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comedy Genius, 9 Mar 2005

By	"sutty251" - See all my reviews

I love Ronnie Barker, I think the man is a comedy genius. I will sit down and watch anything with him in it. I had all the Porridge DVDs and was very, very happy when this became available. Good to hear that the Two Ronnies will back on our screens this year too as it should gain a new audience of younger viewers like me!
