Prison

[WhiteNoiseMaker]

That was fucking amazing. First we had the comedy of Glyn sounding like he'd just accidentally eaten something a bit too hot, but for ages, Pete sitting back saying 'Prison isn't too bad', and mention of hatches which had me hoping they'd have to type a sequence of numbers into a computer terminal every 108 minutes or Spiral would explode.

Then the greatest bit of vainglory from that utter muffin Michael, spouting off in such a ridiculous manner you have to wonder if the whole thing was staged - 'We know you, Big Brother... we're laughing at our so called friends' intercut with the most concise visual displays of luxury and fun - picking out chocolates from decorative bowls surrounding a chocolate fountain, cigars being smoked, people with pineapples on their heads.

But instead of stopping there, Michael went on and on and on and more and more luxury was intercut, before them sticking in a few shots of the barbed wire beaurocratic nightmare boredom the officers are enduring in their ridiculous violet uniforms. Hell is other people, as somebody like Sartre said. But Hell Plus is Mikey being interrogated by the Satanic Zippy that is Michael whilst sat at a small desk in the middle of a filthy room.

I FUCKING LOVE IT!

When Michael asked Mikey what the lowest point of his life had been, if only Mikey had replied "this conversation", but that would involve wit.

Big Brother is properly back on track!

Michael really knows how to light up a fucking room doesn't he?

I can't wait for the inevitable officer brutality and dirty protests.

I was in stitches at this; a genius bit of editing on behalf of BB and one of the best moments of this series.

I loved this. How much sugar had Pete and Glyn had when they went into the prison and ran around like maniacs? The re-enactment of the shower scene in Psycho with a loo brush is one of my series highlights and up there with Pete falling in the pool and anything Nikki ever said.

I turned it on live early this morning and Pete and Richard have swapped places??
