Prisoner Cell Block H - On The Inside documentary - full preview in widescreen (2004) 

Watched it on TV with my mum when I was a child. Watching it again for the second time as an adult. Never gets old. Its an awesome show

Tracy Tovey me too on vacation

I started watching it last year. Only on episode 126 or something

Only another 2000 to go 😀

Kblogg 777 He was talking about then fool

This was on 'after the watershed' in UK and probably would be in this day and age.

well actually no, because todays standards are very weak now, everything is watered down. just look at hollyoaks, they wont show any violent at all, its always out of frame, they wont even show a gun , its pathetic.. so yes, by todays standards prisoner is STILL more violent...

Bea and Myra were my favorite top dogs!!!

CellBlock Rocks! Loved the 1st two top dogs best, none carried it off as good as Bea & Myra; still I enjoyed CellBlock right to the end & a couple of reruns! lol Good times for us all, bk then' I say! 🌈🥃✌️

I have watched it 9 times

Bea Smith will always be my “Top Dog”.

Poor Joan Feruguson

@@colettenasielski9342 Yes. Some Fans get too much into the "Character". I find that in their own way the Australian/British Soap Fans are more devoted and more "observant" of a Scene. I wonder if she ever saw Pamela Rabe's Character as Joan Ferguson. Maggie's Great but Pamela Rabe reminds me so much of Olivia Winfield Foxworth from The Dollanganger Series.

@@laminage Maggie Kirkpatrick and Pamela Rabe were friends in real life and Pamela asked Maggie how to play the freak with THE GLOVES

Oh which cast? Any stories you can share?

The flying doctors,acropolis now just to name a couple,George Kapinaris and i went to the MCG to watch North vs Richmond,little bugger still owes me a 6 pack he's a tiger supporter,,i went to there mid year parties,end of season ones as well,all the cast and crew on the flying docs were lovely kind people,Danii Minogue was a stuck up little bitch with a foul mouth,david reyne and peter o'brien use to jam there guitars in the canteen,yeah lots of little stories i spose

This show aired in the afternoon in the US? Haha are you sure about that.

@@gyobfan22 Did you not understand what i Wrote.

@@johannadavis7594 Yes I understand. It just seems odd for Prisoner cell block h to be on in the afternoon what with the swearing and violence which was quite strong for tv in the 70's/80's.

@@gyobfan22 I think they toned it down for the US after the first season or so. That season had full frontal nudity in one episode and Vera's nickname was Vinegar Tits. By the second season they bowdlerized it to 'ole Vinegar instead.

@@subtledemisefox The show aired at different times across the USA as is was syndicated. It aired at 12:30 pm in Albany, NY. And it was certainly censored because no matter the time of day certain things would have not been shown anywhere in America. We are way too prude.

Never allowed to be seen.

@@spikeyroberto is there an official reason as to why not?

bev waugh channel ten wouldn’t air it because channel 7 did a similar documentary at the time

It remains a mystery

+Carlene Boulden I don't know as it has never been released or shown on tv

spikeyroberto okay thanks

There’s 692 epicsodes

I no init

Never (apparently)

Nobody knows

Any idea why?

No carry on

No

@@ashtonrichardson3825 doesn't look like does it, so why make it at all?

spectrumlocalb191 which older woman? Lizzie?

If you mean Lizzie, she eventually left Wentworth, but I won't say how to avoid spoilers. Sadly, actress Sheila Florence died in 1991. The other 'older woman' in the first episode was "Mum" Brooks, played by Mary Ward. She left the prison early on but made a couple of appearances later. Mary Ward is still alive today and is 105.

No of course no

The actress was in Neighbours not long back

She also stars in the upcoming "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" along with Betty Bobbitt (Judy Bryant)

Doubt it .prisoner was legendary .Wentworth was a redo ..

Wentworth was brilliant but I don’t watch it over and over like Prisoner.

@@rossco5409 absolutely right Ross ..I really enjoyed the redo of my beloved prisoner ..interested how they reinvented Bea Lizzie vera Joan sonia ...but am enjoying prisoner all over again ...bloody loving it

I doubt it. Wentworth like most remakes or rehashes was a hot mess. They never ever capture the character or what made the original so special because it was often the people playing the roles were perfect. You can’t recreate that.
