I heard from the actor Simon Williams that the sets were built and used in between filming of WTW and the original Upstairs Downstairs. Both made in LWT Southbank studios 1 and 2, then called Kent House, before i was even a twinkle in my father's eye. I have seen one episode of WTW on satellite. Not impressed.
Happy birthday Googie Withers 93 today Hubby John McCallam 92 on the 13 March so apparently they celebrate together on March 12 how romantic. Happy birthday from your fans.
Am really glad to see theres so many within these walls fans out there. THIS is the series that inspired Reg Watson to create Prisoner cell block H, and Stonepark is VERY much the same prison set as Larkhall Prison in Bad Girls. I think for an early to late 1970's programme the sets are really good. it was a really good series all round.
Funny when you look at Patsy King who played Erica Davidson the governor in Prisoner how simular she looks to Googie Wither/Faye Boswell, then you get Jim Fletcher the deputy in Prisoner looking simular to Mr Radley the deputy in Within these Walls. Luv prisoner though, always have always will. But you can so see where they got the idea from.
They did get the idea of PCBH from WTW and Patsy is very like Googie. I thought that Googie might have been going to Aus to advise some of the actors/writers.
Yes it was Sherry Houston lol Pam St.Clement/Pat Butcher AND Linda Robson both had parts in the series aswell, and probably more well known actresses now that am not aware of. I've Seen Mona Bruce/Mrs Armitage in some kids t.v programme a few years back but i wonder what the rest have done since?

Did the officers always refer to the prisoners by first name in this series, like in Prisoner?
rosebankross 3 years ago
in prisoner they referred to them by their last names
some of these sets or surrounings look like what they used in Bad Girls. they used Oxford in Bad Girls but then a set.
