While the match is in progress, Oakes will "overpowe"r the driver and escape in the team coach.Fletcher and Godber unwittingly become involved in the escape bid and are forced to hide in the coach when Oakes makes his getaway. They tell Oakes that they don't really want to escape from prison, so he drops them off miles from anywhere. They manage to find their way back to Slade Prison and get back in before they can be implicated in Oakes' escape. Cast:
