Porridge

How I miss my old showbiz chum - the late, great, lovely, dear Ronnie Barker! So in the light of recent events I thought it only fitting to cobble together carefully craft this tribute to what must be regarded as his seminal oeuvre. Baftas and RTS Awards all round!

Number's Up

In Memoriam
Patrick McGoohan
The Prisoner from The Prisoner


So farewell
Then, Patrick McGoohan.

'I am not a number
I am a free man!'
That was
Your catchphrase.
'Be seeing you!'
That was another.

My dad says
That it was not
A spy-fi series
But a post-Jungian
Metaphor for
Mid-life crisis.

If that's true
I guess you have
Finally escaped
From The Village.

Be seeing you!
Er, or not actually.

E.C. Richard (29)
