Fulton Mackay makes a guest appearance in this episode, reprising his role of Senior Prison Officer Mackay from Porridge, as does Tony Osoba as inmate McLaren and Paul McDowell as Prison Officer Mr Collinson.
Somewhat ironically, when Fletcher is looking at his old diary he says" No entry after September 11th, that fateful day".
Fletcher served 3 years, 8 months and 4 days since entering Slade.
