Toepoke Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) He only appeared in 3 episodes of Porridge! Married Billie Whitelaw when she was 20, fair play to him Edited December 6, 2016 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I was surprised at that too although Grouty had a major part in the 1979 film and his 3 appearances were in arguably some of the best episodes which is probably why he was so memorable The 1975 Christmas special "No Way Out" (The escape/hostage episode) "The Harder they fall" - Godber boxing match "A Storm in a Teacup" - The Governors pills He was also mentioned in several of the other episodes although never appearing A great character played by a great character actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padre Andrew Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I was surprised that he was in just the three episodes. One of the most memorable characters from three series (I think) of the sitcom. Had a face that did menacing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
