Episode 5 • Oct 05, 2017
The Listener
Much to Meekie's disapproval the governor asks Fletch to become the minder for suicidal new inmate, rock star Rob Strange becoming his cell-mate, in exchange for the promise of giving him his own radio station. After Rob has confessed the reason for his depression Fletch gets his girlfriend Karen to trace his long-lost daughter, thus averting a nasty roof-top accident and giving Fletch what he wanted - again much to Meekie's disapproval.
Episode 6 • Oct 05, 2017
The Rift
Fletch's radio station is a great success, his relationship with elderly cell-mate Joe less so, as is news of his appeal and in frustration he plays provocative songs on air. To solve one of the problems Joe is given a single cell but Fletch's relief is short-lived when he is forced to share with an even more annoying inmate and he hears bad news about Joe - realizing that the old man was not so bad after all.
