Porridge
Regarded by many critics as one of Britain's best sitcoms, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais' tales of life inside Slade Prison first hit the screens in 1973. Three series were transmitted before the prison show finally closed its doors in 1977. But it has never faded from the nation's consciousness. Ronnie Barker, as Fletch the old lag, and Richard Beckinsale, as Godber the naive first-time offender, are among television history's finest comic creations. This book tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the series came to be made.

Yet there was more to the band than the stadium records that made their fans deliriously happy and the music's creators artistically and lucratively fulfilled. Their second album, October, opened the four piece into a spiritual journey that fed their later work.
