New Scotland Yard: The Wrong-Un (1.7, LWT, 1972)
"What happens to them if they do get away with it?"
"Nothing, really; transfer to different prisons, serve their time. The system goes on."
"And stays the same."
"Yes."
"All a bit pointless, isn't it?"

Woodvine is the quieter voice of... what? not quite empathy but something close perhaps. that's not to say that the scenes of#interrogation are not uncomfortable and aggressiveā€š but he breaks into rare good humour when meeting a crook he himself had put away. by#the close of the episode he's even sharing (very subtle) critiques of the prison system as a whole with the unusually progressive warden.#a young cast of then unknowns includes future stars Armstrong and Murray among the inmate populationā€š but this isn't really a 'guest star'#type of episodeā€š with plot and ensemble cast taking focus. Annett's bleak footage of trudging feet in prison uniform which opens and closes#the ep leaves little doubt on where he stood on the prison reform debateā€š but it isn't translated enough into the script i dont think#or at leastā€š it could certainly have gone stronger and aimed for more impact. but perhaps not within a weekly cop show eh?
