[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 307565, member: 23"] One random thing that I've meant to comment on as the series went along was that a lot of the archetypes remind me of those later seen in [I]Prisoner[/I]. Let me count the ways: Fletch/Bea OK - Fletch wasn't top dog, but he was respected by the others, protected the underdogs, challenged authority and was willling to go toe-to-toe with anyone when necessary Godber/Doreen The green young ingenue under the wing of the more experienced. Mackay/Vinegar Tits The hard-faced authoritarian martinet who makes life tougher for the prisoners. Barrowclough/Meg The "good cop" screw who places their trust in the prisoners. Sometimes when they shouldn't. Blanco/Lizzie The loveable older prisoner who isn't as sweet as they'd have others think. Venables/Erica The prison governor whose efficacy seems to be regularly called into question by screws and prisoners alike. There are probably heaps more if I wanted to look for them. [/QUOTE]
