In case you were wondering - “Why Tarbard?”

In the one-off feature length film of Porridge, there is a scene where the governer is discussing with Chief Officer Mackay the quality or otherwise of the “Celebrities” arriving for the charity football match.

Governor: What about that man, Jimmy Tarbrush?
Mackay: Buck, sir.
Governor: Yes. Buck Tarbrush.
Mackay: No, sir.
Governor: Oh.
[he and Mackay leave]
Fletcher: Buck Tarbrush? We'll be lucky to get Basil Brush.

A good friend of mine recited this story over a long week-end to the point that “Buck, sir” was all that was needed to replay the whole scene in our minds.

He had the whole scene off-pat - except for the use of “bard” instead of “brush”. Somehow making it all the better for us all.

It seems a good basis on which to name the company.
