The Harder They Fall (Porridge)

Gobder takes up boxing, much to Fletcher's displeasure, though prison officer Mackay approves of it on his belief it is a noble sport. While Godber is out getting training, Fletcher is summoned to meet with Harry Grout, who lives a more lavish lifestyle due to his criminal reputation. Grout reveals to Fletcher that he intends to rig an upcoming match that Godber is set to be in, and coerces him to have his cellmate take a dive in the second round or face consequences for not allowing this.

That night, Fletcher shows a rarely seen kind side to Godber, explaining the situation he is in. When he asks him to do as Grout requests, Godber reveals that his rival Moffat has already gotten him to agree to go down in the first round. Angered at this, Fletcher reveals that Godber's decision now means he faces trouble from either Grout of Moffat if he helps the other. His fears are confirmed when he reveals to Grout what Godber is doing, and learns he must convince Godber's opponent to take a dive instead.

On the night of the match, Fletcher informs Godber that apart from himself, either he or his opponent will face trouble if one of them takes a dive, leading to them devising a plan. When the first round begins, both boxers fake going down after they each give one punch, causing the match to end in a draw. When Fletcher reunites with Godber in his cell, he reveals that neither Grout of Moffat have made a gains or losses, as all the bets they had arranged were voided by the result of the match. However, Fletcher admits he made a bet on the match ending in a draw and came off well as a result, to which he offers Godber his favourite chocolate bar to celebrate.
