🤣📺 “What’s a Rilk?” – Classic Porridge One of the greatest British sitcoms ever made, Porridge (1974–77) starred Ronnie Barker as Norman Stanley Fletcher, a witty old lag serving time in Slade Prison. The show was famous for its sharp dialogue, brilliant timing, and mix of comedy with social commentary. In this scene, the hilariously naïve Lennie Godber (played by Richard Beckinsale) gets confused about prison slang, asking: “What’s a rilk?” Fletcher’s exasperated response is pure sitcom gold
