All six episodes from the third series of the popular prison sitcom...
1. A Storm in a Teacup
Fletch's hopes of getting a little peace and quiet are thwarted by the appearance of Harry Grout (Peter Vaughan), who is not feeling too genial.
2. Poetic Justice
Fletch's new cell mate is none other than the judge who put him there. If he'd known at his trial that he was a bent judge, he'd have bribed him...
3. Rough Justice
When the judge loses a watch, a kangaroo court is set up to convict Harris (Ronald Lacey) who is known for "this despicable kind of thievery".
4. Pardon MeWhen old lag Blanco rejects his parole to protest his innocence, Fletch (Ronnie Barker) sets up an 'appeal committee' to win him a pardon. Even Mr. Barrowclough (Brian Wilde) signs the petition - apparently.
5. A Test of Character
Fletch is determined to help Godber (Richard Beckinsale) pass his history O' Level. So he gets Warren to steal the exam papers...
6. Final Stretch
