Lukewarm (Porridge)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lukewarm was a fictional character in the popular BBC sitcom Porridge. He was played by Christopher Biggins.

Lukewarm is a quiet young man, who originates from Middlesbrough. The circumstances that brought him to be in prison are unknown although in on episode he appeared to have stolen Mr. Barraclough's wristwatch in a manner suggestive of a shoplifter or pickpocket. He is known to be gay. He has a boyfriend called Trevor on the outside, who is a watch repairer from Southport, and who appears in the episode "Men Without Women". He shared a cell with Blanco. Lukewarm is often seen knitting.

Although he is a friend of Fletcher's, he rarely becomes involved in his schemes, preferring instead to spend his time cooking and knitting.

In the mockumentary "Life Beyond The Box: Norman Stanley Fletcher", his real name is revealed as being Timothy Underwood, although in Just Desserts he seems to be addressed by a warden as Lewis.
