S3, Ep 6: Final Stretch. Godber is due to see the parole board in a few days where he is almost certain to get a parole.

Can he keep Godber from trouble and ruining his chances of freedom?
Starring Ronnie Barker, Richard Beckinsale, Fulton Mackay, Brian Wilde, David Daker, Sam Kelly, Patricia Brake and John Dair. This is the final ever episode of Porridge and a moving one at that. It's an end of an era for a sitcom that had surprisingly few episodes, but it wouldn't be the last we saw of Fletcher. A sequel, Going Straight, would emerge the following year. You may guess what's coming next week...
