The three concluding episodes of the first series of Bad Girls, in which all the tensions and intrigues that fill the grim confines of Larkhall women's prison reach an exciting and tantalising climax. Nikki and Helen are drawn ever closer together, despite Helen's impending marriage. The naïve young Officer Rose learns the hard way never to be taken in by a hardened crook. Tragic junkie Zara tries to put her life back together so that her child won't be taken away from here. The Two Julies continue to bring a little light relief into the wing; and Shell Dockley, that hardest of hard-faced inmates, vows revenge on Fenner, the corrupt office who has double-crossed her with his offers of preferential treatment in return for sexual favours. Some of the stories go the way you'll expect, others have startling, even shocking twists that point the way to the second series, and all of them are satisfyingly punchy, involving and atmospheric. --Andy Medhurst
