I’ve always imagined I’d flourish in prison. Think Noël Coward in The Italian Job: a natural leader. I’d soon find myself planning bank robberies from the inside, and plastering my cell with pictures of the Queen.
But after watching a few episodes of Wentworth (Channel 5, Mondays, 10pm), I’m having second thoughts. Not just about jail. I’m tempted to stay as far away from Australia as possible – the prison drama from Down Under is now in its fourth season, and has witnessed so many ridiculous twists and turns that the former governor, Joan Ferguson, is now doing time.
