[edit] Plot
In his innocence, Godber is looker forward to Christmas, but Fletch just wants a quiet sojourn in the prison hospital. As he says: "There's one big event around here, it's not the come of the Lord - It's the tunnelling of Tommy Slocombe". Just as Fletcher's 'old knee injury' wins him a trip to the local civilian hospital for a full check up and x-ray, 'Genial' Harry Grout decides to call in a favour.
