Fletcher's inside story - even funnier as a film

ComedyCrime

Times are hard for habitual guest of Her Majesty Norman Stanley Fletcher. The new prison officer, Beale, makes MacKay look soft and what's more, an escape plan is hatching from the cell of prison godfather Grouty and Fletcher wants no part of it.

VIBE

A riotously funny and surprisingly sharp look at prison life. It's packed with iconic characters, razor-sharp wit, and a constant stream of laugh-out-loud moments. Perfect for a hearty chuckle and a dose of British humor.
