Possibly the shortest clip you will ever see on this blog...................from the superb BBC series Porridge and featuring 'Orrible Ives who has poison in a rather delicate place - his bottom. Being the most detested inmate at Slade, there were no volunteers to help him with his little problem and Fletch has no problem giving him the bad news ! Ronnie Barker needs no introduction, Ives was played by scouse actor Ken Jones. Fans of the show will remember he started most conversations with 'ere listen' and he remains one of my favourite characters from the series.

Another piece of truly excellent British comedy BMS,I loved anything that Ronnie Barker was in including Open All Hours,Two Ronnies etc but I absolutely adored Porridge,it was a truly hilarious sitcom made as only the Brits can make them,it was brilliantly written by Ian Le Frenais and Dick Clement and teaming up Barker with Richard Beckinsale was a master stroke,I'm not surprised that in 2004 Porridge was voted number 7 in a poll conducted by the BBC on the 100 greatest British sitcoms-I may have even rated it higher than that.
Thanks for posting another great link.
Cheers
