Further details
Life is made more bearable for Helen when Governor Margaret announces the annual prison quiz - promising prizes of a tin of biscuits and a supersize bottle of conditioner.
Helen, however, has her eye on a very unusual and extremely tempting first prize. But will her specialist knowledge of Jennifer Aniston trivia and Glacial Moraine from her long forgotten geography degree be enough to get her through? Not if Top Dog has anything to do with it...
Helen's sister Laura meanwhile is finding that her life is being taken over by Helen's. Or is that the other way round? And Tony has received some mysterious threats.
