- Quotes
[Convict Fletcher tries to con his way into the prison infirmary, but the doctor prides himself on being so good that he does does not have any patients in the infirmary, least of all frauds whom he can spot at a distance]
Prison Doctor: Well, Fletcher, let me tell you something. Of all the penal institutions in the north of England, my infirmary has the lowest record of admissions, and Donaldson, who's serving a five year stretch for grand larceny and embezzlement, had a better chance of getting a Barclaycard than you have of getting into my infirmary. Out!

Lyrics by Frederick Oakeley and music by John Reading
Sung by the inmates
Fletcher wants his own means of escape, spend Christmas week in hospital with a dodgy knee but the prison doctor is having none of it. Then Harry Grout drops in for a favour which leads to a day out from the prison so Fletcher can retrieve a parcel for Grout.
However when Barrowclough's bike is stolen Mackay cancels all Christmas festivities, Fletcher has a plan to get a drop on him though.
A longer Yuletide episode but the laughs are consistent and a nice comedy pratfall by Barker at the end.
