Gareth meets an ex-gang member and drill artist who has been in and out of prison for most of his teenage life with a string of convictions since the age of He is desperate to change and agrees to work with Gareth.
They create a song together and just as Gareth feels he is making progress, another violent incident threatens to derail the programme when one of the boys ends up in hospital. Gareth decides to change tack and to start his rehearsals with boys from the same wing to minimise the risk of any fighting. But by this point, his initial recruits have dwindled to single figures. In a minor triumph, Gareth manages to get three prisoners from the same wing in the same room at once for practice.
They show a real willingness to work together despite the fact that none of them actually sing. Weeks into the programme, Gareth is still stuck for a singer, until a new inmate arrives on D wing. Gareth now has a decent group and wants to see how well they do with a performance in front of their peers.
Just hours before show time, his new lead singer goes awol. It is a tiny first step to fulfilling the promise he has made to the governor that he will form a choir and they will put on some kind of performance to show what progress has been made by prisoners taking part in the programme. Of course, we're seeing just highlights — or rather lowlights — not the hours of banged-up boredom, which wouldn't make very good TV.

A deterrent, even — I've recorded it to show my son, when he's a bit older than 11 months. Turns out my friend's son arrived after filming, so he's not in it. He hasn't had any grief there, thank heaven. Maybe it is too soft. Ha, Black Mirror Channel 4! I actually preferred the first one. It was more human, and felt more of an individual drama in its own right. This is more brutal and bleaker. And still probably about the most imaginative television around right now.
