If any of the characters in Porridge deserve the title 'Nerk', it's Harris. 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 whent wrong when it became evident that she had a brick in her handbag.
