Judy says to Lori "it was hard giving you up, always thinking of you, how you were doing" yada yada yada but yet when she was working with Helen in that massage parlor she basically told Helen she was a 40 yr old virgin. No mention of ever having a baby then.
Saw some pics of Carole Skinner (Nola) when she was in "Neighbours", she doesn't look at all scary like she does in this. She is very good at playing a baddie.
Yes Faye's old mate Maurie was played by actor Maurie Fields who appeared in PCBH three times first as Judy's daughter Lowri's uncle Harry in horsing racing scenes then here as Maurie and then finally he played the character of nasty screw Len Murphy who was a match for Joan Fuergson and challenged her. However Wentworth isn't big enough for both of them as well get to see
I confess 328 to around the early 390s aren't my favourite era. For me it does pick up again though starting with the introduction of Sonia Stevens, late 1983 to mid-1985 are some of my favourite episodes. It does fall into a slump again with 553-585 but the final 106 episodes in my opinion are some of the best :)
Agree completely. It's worth hanging in until the end; PCBH is still one of the best series to ever hit the airwaves even with the few dead spots. Much like like the Kate Peterson episodes, the Sonia Stevens run is really quite an era - great storytelling and acting that more than rises to it.
Colleen Powell is in demand... First Woodridge Deputy Governor Carlson, then the random guy at the restaurant, and now the carpenter. Surprised Joan Ferguson doesn't want to give Powell one of her "black gloves" body searchs at this point!
Ahh, lifer sure was different in Australia when this was on T.V. When I watch Prisoner it always reminds me of how Australian drama used to be, really good, Now it's crap. No wonder people 30 years later still like watching Prisoner. This type of classic Aussie drama will never be repeated.
I enjoy the revolving door of characters on the show. Two Jeffs, the lady from the halfway house where Lizzie and Doreen stayed, and much more. Nola McKenzie = the new Avon lady! Judy's daughter is such an idiot. What is the big deal with a deaf kid? There are much worse things than that. Look at all those cute deaf kids, Laurie. Fergo the freak = a necessary evil. Is Roxy foxy or not? She sure knows how to stuff a helmut! Powell's going to get involved with Chris between the sheets. We all know the truth! I love those bird photos in Chris's house. Way cool!
I'm not the only one finding these episodes a bit boring then? As much as I love it I wish they can end the Driscoll house thing and get rid of Faye Quinn already I find her annoying. However I'm looking forward to some Bea vs Nola scenes.
Maurie Fields plays Mauire Parks - gee, I wonder where they got the name for the character from. 45:05 - Grace played by Joan Letch. That's a fairly appropriate name for an actor on this show.
Scott Leicester Not the same room. Haven't you noticed the door is on the right when it used to be on the left? Davo's office is what used to be the social worker's office.
@@sheriheffner2098 just seen your comment. Same here! The type of company I get is when I'm going to a meeting for a job or people I know at pubs here in britian..or when I'm watching programmes on utube at my wee flat.
Meg, never seems to stay in touch with her friends. Only friends she has is ones that worked in Wentworth. She never mentions, Craig, Jim, Vera, Steve, Janet and Paul Reid on how they are doing or anything after close friendships she made with them. Once they leave Wentworth, thats it, she is no longer friends with them.
I also recall a few episodes ago when Judy was talking to Hazel on the phone, but you could hear Hazel's voice echoing from another room rather than over the phone 😆
Think we notice it more now 'cause of watching the programme back to back unlike when it aired originally when you had a wait a week between episodes and then a good few months between series.
26:06 There seems to be a bit of a design flaw with Erica's new office set - in the corridor outside the office door, there is another corridor that seems to come from behind her office, around the corner - but there's a window in her office where the corridor should be, which overlooks a garden with trees and a wall! If a corridor does exist there, it can't be any wider than Erica's coat and handbag cupboard!
3:10 From certain angles Fay's mother looks like Dr McCoy off Star Trek. I notice since Fay's release we seem to be following her progress closely even though she's not interacting with any of the other women. Goodness me - you don't suppose she could be heading back to Wentworth by any chance? 11:10 "Maurie" will be recycled later on as corrupt officer Len Murphy.
TallSilentGuy ha , ha with a melodramatic reply like yours maybe its you that needs to clam down digest my valid point without acting like Douglas from the department or some politician have a beer and stop being a spoiler in all respects to the word.
Faye's coworker played Beryl the bird lady at the halfway house, Freda the old prisoner at Barnhurst who fills Bea in about Marie and Janie and as Vera's neighbor who stops to pet the dog the prisoner's found and gave to Vera.
30:00 Esme Melvin pops up again as the charlady - she was last in it only 30 episodes ago as Beryl Hudson, a halfway way house guest with a lot of canaries!
JH JH thanks, I was not concentrating on this episode, kept losing concentration on the boring scenes. I want more Nola vs Bea and Bea vs the freak scenes and the freak winding up the other officers scenes not Lorie and judy and the half way house or Faye and her cow mother loooool.
Oh yes Lizzie! I believe you. You can taste booze lie I can taste ice cream. That's my weakness, Vanilla bean is my favorite and chocolate that tastes like milk chocolate. I don't know about anyone else, but I just fast forward the Faye Quin scenes. I can't stand the character, "Enoch the Eskimo lives in a house made of ice!" Oh well, I reckon we'll just have to hear the rest of the story of Enoch the Eskimo in the next episode.
I don't know if I will continue with the series much longer....unless someone will tell me it gets better...its getting more and more about the ex prisoners...and now Judys extended family...come on..make it about the inmates again
@@ecolin4906 my first go-around but I tend to agree .I saw comments from other fans who went back a lot further .I was expecting a whole lot but it's just the same thing over and over with Joan Ferguson .Vera at least had some depth and feeling. Fiona Spence gave her some dimension and depth .Joan Ferguson is just a one-dimensional character.
This series has it's ups and downs. I'd say there are some great storylines until the 550's. Then it'll be a break with great storylines until the 590's. But after that it picks up again right 'til the end. A great series, all in all.
New governors office but still only use the top drawer of the filing cabinet. Know Jeff wants to work things out with Lori and the baby but threatening to hit her would make me want to run faster..!! 29:10 budgie lady from the halfway house That helmet having all that stuff in it 😂😂
This is old home week. The actress that is Fay's mother was the same actress as the woman who ran the first half way house, once Karen left. And of course Fay's sister is ex-office Yates.
Mother: What's the matter, Enoch dear? Enoch: I'm cheesed off Mother: Do you want your supper? Enoch: I suppose it's fish again? Mother: Yes. Enoch: Yes, I thought it might be. Suppose I don't want fish? Mother: Don't want fish? Enoch: well, it's possible, isn't it? I mean, we have fish 7 days a week. Fish pie, fish fingers, fish casserole, fish en crout, you name it we bung fish in it.. Father: Is he moaning again? Enoch: Well, what's the point of it all Father: You need to find a wife Enoch: How? Everybody looks the same under 30 layers of fur. I can't tell a man from a woman. I was chatting one up last week, thought I was getting somewhere, started whispering sweet nothings under the parka hood only to find his name was Erik. Father: You're not turning funny, are you? Enoch: Oh, thank you very much! Father: You could go and build an igloo Enoch: You mean another igloo. 47 of the things I've built this month. They all look the same. There's more igloos than people round here. Property values are plummeting. Father: We could go catch some fish. Enoch: That's it round here, isn't it. Catch fish, build igloos or throw snowballs. That's your lot. Mother: There's the library igloo Enoch: Oh yes. Terrific. 3 books they've got in there. "Igloos Down The Ages", "Great Blizzards Of Our Time" and "Herring Recipes For The Family". I've read them all. Father: What a misery you are. What's for tea, mother? Mother: Thought we'd have fish tonight Father: Mmm. My favourite (Enoch sobs uncontrollably)
@@MrScruffboy it's me that should be thanking you. I write silly comedy sketches purely for my own amusement and have been looking for inspiration to start a new series. And you came up with the idea! I'll do another dozen or so. Nobody'll ever see them except me but it keeps me out of mischief! Thanx.
@@stevenmcghee6649 That sounds fantastic. I'm glad my 'Enoch-cuous' comment helped you. I hope they all turn out as good as what you have already posted. And thanks to you also for making me smile.
Paul Deakin actually it does. and the doctor has it spot on. i didnt know i had it and the hospital never picked it up. i just knew i hated her. my oldest daughter and i never bonded from the minute she was born. i was never treated. the hospital just kept pushing and pushing her at me... ive not talked to her now for 12 years since she left home at 16... but thats mutual. shes a right little bitch... but my three other kids r a whole dif story xxx
Faye's mum is a nag herself. Morrie was Len Murphy. Unlike the Freak - who is an out-and-out bully, Nola takes nothing for granted and there is nothing syrupy or squeamish about her stance on things. At heart, she couldn't give a carrot. All she cares about is her stash.
Poor Bea got no mates now everyone has gone now Doreen Chrissy paddy Judy not left because Judy there all done it will be sad when Bea dose go the best still come Rita the beater can't wait
What about all the booze they guzzle whenever they get hold of some, especially Lizzie. I guess she wouldn't mind if Lizzie died from acute alcoholism or cirrhosis of the liver.
