Norman Stanley Fletcher is a career criminal and a regular guest of Her Majesty's Prison Service. He is about to start a five year stretch. In prison his cellmate is a young first-offender, Lenny Godber. It's up to Fletcher to teach Godber the ropes. Hijinks ensue.
A classic British comedy. Some great comedic plots and dialogue plus a wonderfully sentimental, dramatic side that adds a nice balance to proceedings.
These aspects are just the start though. The series is made by the performance of the great Ronnie Barker as Fletcher. He uses the great dialogue to fantastic effect with some great one-liners and put-downs and perfect comedic timing.
