Plot: When Charles Dickens created the character of Fagin in Oliver Twist, he gave birth to one of the most infamous personas in English literature. Few people know that Dickens' portrait of Fagin was possibly based on the Jewish receiver and fencer of stolen goods, Ikey Solomon. Much as been written about Ikey's exploits, his amazing and daring prison escapes capturing people's imaginations through the generations. The First Fagin recreates the fantastical life of Ikey Solomon, the most famous criminal of his age. From London's dens of vice, to Newgate jail to Australia's prison shores, Ikey takes us on a journey into crime, punishment, adventure and love whilst struggling against the transportation system of 19th century England.

Quotes:

Dr. Catheter: I've got ordinance in here that will bring down a charging Puma at fifty feet!

Gremlin: Nudie! Nudie! Nudie!

Peggy, the Lab Receptionist: Dr. Catheter, this just came for you.::Dr. Catheter: Ah, splendid. This must be my malaria.::[sees it's not]::Dr. Catheter: Rabies. I've got rabies, and I'm supposed to get the flu this week.::Peggy, the Lab Receptionist: I think we have the flu out on back order.::[sneezes into tissue]::Dr. Catheter: May I have that Peggy?::Peggy, the Lab Receptionist: Sure.::Dr. Catheter: Thank you.::[stuffs it into his pocket; muttering to himself]::Dr. Catheter: Back order, back order. All a man wants is some fresh germs!

Leonard Maltin: Ow. I was just kidding. Ah. It's a ten. It's a ten.

Dr. Catheter: All they have to do is to eat three or four children and there'd be the most appalling publicity.

Grandpa Fred: [interviewing Brain Gremlin] Creature what is it that you want?::Brain Gremlin: Fred, what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your viewers have: civilization.::Grandpa Fred: Yes, but what sort of civilization are you speaking of?::Brain Gremlin: The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition... that's what we're reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that's what we aspire to; we want to be civilized.::[a Gremlin with a beanie cap acts goofy next to Brain]::Brain Gremlin: You take a look at this fellow here.::[Brain shoots the Gremlin in the head. The Gremlins in the bar laugh. Grandpa Fred and Kujitsu leave]::Brain Gremlin: Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets. There's also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even though we've been turned down in the past.

Forster: This is a complete failure of management!

Grandpa Fred: They put me on at 3am. People who are awake at 3am aren't afraid of the Wolfman. The only thing that frightens those people is sobering up and going to work.

[Stopping Katsuji]::Grandpa Fred: Hey, hey, hey. Can you work a TV camera?::Katsuji: Work a camera? I AM the camera.

Grandpa Fred: Hey, you two, the building's completely screwed up today.::Billy Peltzer: Yeah, we know, Fred.::[Billy and Kate leave]::Grandpa Fred: [smiling, chuckling to himself] Heh heh, you're young. You know everything.
