PORRIDGE: THE MOVIE (1979)

DICK CLEMENT

Plot

Times are hard for habitual guest of Her Majesty, Norman Stanley Fletcher, the new prison officer, Beale, makes Mackay look soft and, what's more, an escape plan is hatching in 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 is injured. In the ensuing confusion, Fletcher finds himself on the wrong side of the prison walls and must now try and break back into prison. Genius.
