I enjoyed the episode. Dean Stockwell was excellent. I have seen a grand total of one Quantum Leap episode, never being able to sit through any more, but the guys do work well together. When I saw that this was going to be a prison ep, I wasn't expecting much, and was pleasently surprised.

It's a �, ANSI # 0163. The � is placed before an amount, a p after, but purists would not use both -- so �5.40p would be incorrect, as it should be �5.40 (or 540p!). The Italians also use(d) � for the Lira, as the root word is the same (lira -- libra -- weight -- pound). lb for pounds (mass) is a standard suffix in British (dare I say Standard?) English.
