Harris (Porridge)

Harris (Porridge)

Harris was a character in the popular BBC sitcom Porridge. He was played by Ronald Lacey.

A middle-aged Teddy Boy with a fish face and ginger hair, Harris, much like 'Horrible' Ives is loathed by wardens and prisoners alike. He is a thief, a cheater and bullies anyone whom he deems to be weaker than he is. However, he in turn is bullied by all those above him, such as Harry Grout, Mr Mackay and, of course, Fletcher.

He was arrested when an attempt to mug an old lady went wrong, when it became evident that she had a brick in her handbag. The old lady succeeded in pinning Harris down, until the police arrived.

With the arrival of Judge Rawley at Slade, Harris is relegated to the job of mucking out and feeding the pigs.
