Porridge was a British television sitcom which ran from 1974 to 1977; followed by a feature film and a spin-off show. Novelizations of those original shows were published based on Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais's scripts. Three Helpings of Porridge is an omnibus edition of these novelizations (Porridge, Another Stretch of Porridge & A Further Stir of Porridge).
As you can perhaps tell from this convoluted description this isn't an ideal introduction to the highly regarded comedy; third-hand show more porridge at best. Seek out the DVD or the original scripts instead. show less
