    A word of warning - this episode is a bit sweary!

    McVicar (1980)

    John McVicar (Roger Daltrey) is an English career criminal locked up with all the other lifers in the dreaded E Wing of Durham Prison. Between riots and constant prison guard brutality, McVicar and fellow inmate Walter Probyn (Adam Faith) gradually dig a tunnel that enables their escape. Once on the outside, McVicar does his best to lie low and re-enter the lives of his wife (Cheryl Campbell) and infant son, despite the fact that police have labeled him "Public Enemy Number One."

    "I suppose you think you got the better of us there. But just remember, kidder, you're in for ten years."

    "Yeah, that's right, Mr. Pendel. But you're in for life, ain't yer?"
