If you were serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure, you wouldn't get Christmas privileges half as good as this - two 40-minutes specials from inside the walls of Slade prison!

No Way Out - In his innocence, Godber is looking forward to Christmas, but Fletch knows that if, ''there's one big event around here, it's not the coming of Our Lord, it's the tunnelling of Tommy Slocombe''. And this Christmas, he is determined to stay well clear of Tommy Slocombe, his dodgy mates and their even dodgier plans for escape. As he says to Harry Grout, ''look at the state of me - a ferret, I ain't.''

The Desperate Hours - So far, Christmas doesn't look good for Fletch & Godber - Mackay has discovered the illicit liquor they've been brewing in their cell since July and they're up before the Governor. However, whilst they're waiting to see him, things suddenly take a turn for the better... they get caught up in the psychotic Reg Urwin's attempt to take Mr Baraclough hostage (he's after a 'copter and 10,000 in used notes). Can Fletch be the hero of the day?
