AssholeVictim: It’s entirely down to him being so repulsive that Grouty having his thugs torture him stays within in the sphere of BlackComedy.
*EvilRedheadButtMonkey: Generally his unpleasant deeds come back to bite him. He was even arrested when he tried to mug a little old lady, only for it to turn out she had a brick in her handbag.
* EvilRedhead: Harris is a smug, cowardly bully with red hair, who only ever picks on people he’s convinced are weaker than him.

TheDreaded: Amongst the Prison guards, he holds this reputation, as he is easily the harshest and toughest of them all.

Fletcher.
*HairTriggerTemper
HairTriggerTemper: Mackay is an easy enough man to set off, especially when it involves Fletcher. It’s not helped by Fletcher often intentionally pushing Mackay’s buttons.
*InspectorJavertInspectorJavert: Mackay is only doing his job and is often right in his suspicions that Fletcher is up to his tricks. If he wasn’t so harsh and strict it would be hard to disagree with him.

** Mackay is sometimes supportive of Godber due to his willingness to study and take part in physical activity, unlikeFletcherFletcher.
** Despite claiming to hate all inmates, Mackay is shown to be softer on more well behaved inmates. He for instance was encouraging toward Kegan, even making him a trustee and giving him the job of serving the Governors coffee, despite him murdering his wife.
** Following Fletcher revealing the existence of an escape tunnel to him and defusing a very tense situation between the inmates and the guards, Mackay gave Fletcher a bottle of Scottish Whiskey as a Christmas present.
* ProperlyParanoid: His suspicions about the inmates are so extreme, that he can’t watch a man tie his shoes without suspecting he’s hiding something in his sock. However, when it comes to Fletcher, he’s nearly always right.

GentleGiant: At 6ft 3, Barrowclough is the tallest prison officer, and easily towers over the rest of the cast. Nevertheless he is an all-around gentle and friendly man.
*GentleGiant
LovableCoward: Mr. Barrowclough is much more timid than Mr. Mackay, and lets his fear slip out during situations he believes to be tense. He is noticeably worried when Mackay leaves him alone to supervise the prison work party, and he spends his entire encounter with the unstable Reg Erwin trembling. However, he is such a nice and friendly guy it’s hard to dislike him.
*LovableCoward
NiceGuy: Mr. Barrowclough is by any standard a cheerful, friendly and kind hearted man. He even sees prison as more for rehabilitation than punishment.
*NiceGuy
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Barrowclough is a fair and reasonable man, he even tells a new Prison guard not to ask what a new inmate is in for, as that would lead to you judging them for they have done instead of as a person.

* TheTeetotaler: He refuses alcohol for moral reasons. As such, it distresses him when the inmates manufacture illegal booze around Christmas time.
