Clare finds herself at the centre of an incident during a prison visit.

Clare's in the middle of a riot at the women's prison. It's categorically not her fault. Meanwhile Joan is convinced there's something strange going on. Starring Sally Phillips.

Clare's found herself in the middle of a riot at the women's prison. It's categorically not her fault, and she is not their leader, OK? Back in the Sparrowhawk office, Joan is convinced there's something strange going on. 

Starring Sally Phillips as Clare Barker, the social worker who has all the right jargon but never a practical solution. 

A control freak, Clare likes nothing better than interfering in other people's lives on both a professional and personal basis. Clare is in her thirties, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her. 

We join Clare in her continued struggle to control both her professional and private life. In today's Big Society there are plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare.
