A Night In

Series 1, episode 3

Written by Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais

Directed by Sydney Lotterby

Originally Aired On: Thursday, 19 September 1974

More cleverly comical tales from inside the best-known fictional prison in Britain - Slade. Fletcher and Godber try to get through a night locked up as they try to imagine what they would be doing on the outside, and who they would be doing it with. Classic comedy meets quality drama in this episode, acted almost entirely by just Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale. Did the writers of EastEnders learn a thing or two here?
