A bottle episode, and the only one in which officers Mackay and Barrowclough did not appear, it focuses on Fletcher finding himself sharing a cell with Godber and developing a friendship with him, despite having to endure a difficult first night with him.
Although unhappy, Fletcher soon learns from Godber that his cell block just went through a riot, and that his old cellmate set fire to their beds as a result.
Fletcher decides to make clear about the rules within the cell, including the fact that he claims ownership of the top bunk on their beds.
During the night, Godber struggles to sleep, leading to Fletcher discussing with him about his life, including his daughter Ingrid - whom was conceived on the tomb of Karl Marx - and the fact that his three children were born five years apart due to him going away each time.
Cheekily, Fletcher suggest they can have another quiet night that evening, moments before the pair join the other prisoners out on the landing.
