New Faces, Old Hands

Like the old lag that he is, Fletch knows how to play the system and takes young, first-timer Godber under his wing when they have to share a cell with the dim-witted Cyril Heslop. Fletch pretends to have flat feet to get his own shoes back but the doctor isn’t fooled. He does, however, tell Fletch that the governor keeps tropical fish so, on meeting the governor, Fletch claims to be an animal lover. And is duly rewarded with a job on the prison farm, mucking out the pigs.
