A Storm in a Teacup
Prismark1017 March 2020
Fletcher just wants some peace and quiet so he could read his book.

Instead he has people coming into his cell wanting a natter.

While he chats and has a cup of tea with Lukewarm on the wing. Fletcher does not notice that some pills another prisoner stole have landed in his tea cup.

Only when Grouty tells Fletcher that he might had been a recipient of the pills and is expected to replace them. Fletcher is in a panic.

Another amusing episode. Godber gets slated for his tapioca pudding. Fletcher gets to do a play on words with one of Grouty's hardmen. From Crusher with Love.

We find out about Grouty's menial job in prison. He is in charge of the swimming pool, which the prison does not have.

Ronald Lacey plays the pill pilfering Harris, who lets out blood curdling screams several times because of his injured hand which is further squeezed.

Mackay has the last laugh in this episode as he knows what the missing pills intended use was.
