For all the blokes who have stood on Saturday afternoons at the entrance of women's changing rooms waiting for their missus!

For me, Porridge and The Likely Lads were by far the best sitcom spin-offs. Testament to the brilliance of Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. This scene has the most shockingly hilarious punchline ever!

@@jimbass1968 AWP was indeed utterly brilliant, and spot-on about C and LF's attention to character development. I'll always consider Porridge to be their crowning glory, and a major reason for that was the strength of the characters and how they interacted. Whether it's Porridge, AWP, or the Likely Lads, these are real characters in real situations.

Yeah I rented this movie out just for nostalgia more than anything else. I didn’t expect it to be so funny. This scene made me laugh out loud.

So good ... the series of whatever happened too is by far one of the best written sitcoms ever .. Terry’s rants and bobs uncertainties play off each other perfectly..

an ABSOLUTE CLASSIC !!!, LOVE THIS TOO LOL

just brilliant ... the best scene in the movie ... too !

I recorded this on my Betamax tape from the mid 80s,as it was on the BBC one Xmas night! Happy days pet!

Yeah, great scene. I loved the wonderfully dowdy frock Thelma pet is wearing, and I love the glee with which Terry says "Finnish". btw - of all the telly sitcom spinoff films of the '70s, this was IMO head and shoulders the best.

The Porridge movie was reasonable.... This perfectly encapsulated my birthplace just how I remembered it as a youngster, when we came back to visit. The cars of the era, red asphalt roads, the streetlamps were light and dark blue, all the Northern Buses/T&WPTE all in yellow/white livery and Spanish City still existed. The tower blocks might have been grim, but the A1058 isn't quite the same without them. Plus it's lovely to see footage of Tynemouth Priory without the God-awful coastguard station (Bob parking near it and walking down North Pier to see Terry fishing). I go back often and miss a few of the sights as only the Spanish City Dome, Beehive Pub, caravan park and the "guesthouse" (now a private house) just about remain.

I'm surprised that no one has spotted albeit a split second at 1.40....a little appendage for those who are so inclined for these things...easier to see on big screen for certain...

It’s an acquired taste in comedy, unusual and not mainstream. Clement and La Frenais delve into character humour, people leading fairly ordinary lives but they themselves are the comedic source.
