Revealing mistake: When Fletch falls through the hole in the yard, this is obviously performed by a stunt double as he has a different hairstyle to Ronnie Barker.
Revealing mistake: During the riot scene, the canteen walls wobble. This is most noticeable when a prisoner is trying to pull the notice board off the wall.
Character mistake: "Blanco" Webb refuses parole on the grounds that, under Home Office rules, that would mean he had to admit to murdering his wife, a charge he vehemently denies. However, he accepts a pardon from the Home Office issued on the recommendation of the prison governor. Surely someone like Blanco, a man who quotes Home Office regulations by chapter, paragraph and verse, must know that a pardon is a remission of all punishment for a crime committed by the person being pardoned? By accepting a pardon he is admitting his guilt in exactly the same way as he would have been had he accepted parole.
Fletch: I haven't been so put out since my son Raymond crept back into school one night and had a prior peek at the exam papers.
Godber: Did he?
Fletch: Yes he did! And he still didn't bleedin' pass.
Trivia: Before Richard Beckinsale was cast, Ronnie Barker had suggested Paul Henry (Benny from the TV soap opera "Crossroads") for the role of Lennie Godber.
