Porridge Christmas Special – The Desperate Hours – 1976
Continuing our look back at classic Christmas Specials from years gone by, here’s Fletch and Godbher in it up to their necks as usual in this festive edition of the classic seventies sitcom. Sorry we were only able to find one clip.
Summary
So far, Christmas isn’t looking good for Fletch & 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.
Can Fletch be the hero of the day?
