We just got prisoner back in Australia...i watch it every night and i just know that when it gets to the very last episode i will want to start all over again...its brilliant...
at least all the itv regions of the rest of the uk showed it til the last episode, ulster the itv northern ireland station only showed it 3/4 of the way through and then took it off the air for no reason. so ive still a lot of episodes to see, did see the very last episode on that dvd compilation from a few years ago, kinda spoilt it seeing the demise of the freak joan ferguson, was fab though,kinda like tales of the unexpected, you were so suprised at the very end !!!
I don't think these television companies will put Prisoner back on the screens unless they think it's worth it, in terms of how much revenue they could generate from adverts. It's sort of taking a gamble really. They might have an idea that there'd be loads of people wanting to see it, however, with nothing to back this up, they can't take the risk.
I've read that itv has cancelled that godawful itv play during the night, surely we should get our letters in requesting a late night repeat, it will cost them peanuts to play it now.
BRING BACK PCBH! BRING BACK PCBH! BRING BACK PCBH! etc...... For all it wobbly walls and camp acting (lets face it thats what made all that better) Prisoner is in the hearts of millions and no doubt that even if it came back for half a dozen special episodes they would be ratings winners. Just imaging the premise of a new series...The Freak is out of Prison and on a quest for revenge!
loved this and want it back on our screens. I e-mailed UK gold some time ago now and they replied saying that they had no plans to show it in the forseable (sp?) future!. "Bloody bitches" haha!
Bring back Cell Block H to UK screens. And I mean some proper channel, not some obscure minority satellite channel!! Even if it's on Five in the middle of the night again - at least we can record it! I love this series both for it's occasional campness, but also for it's (often unappreciated) acting and writing. Went a bit rubbish after Bea and Lizzie left in succession, but the first five years were glorious.
Yep it's time for Wentworth to return to our screens all fully modernised with Meg Morris as the Governor and Miss Ferguson as an inmate. C'mon Grundy, you can do it.
Here,Here. yes lets bring back "Prisoner cell block H. When it was shown on Thames television (UK). It was dropped when Carlton television took over from Thames. Then channel 5 started showing it at 11.35pm. But then changed the time to 4.40am in the morning, much to everyones horror.
does any1 have all 692 episodes on vhs/dvd i would be willing to pay for them all,and yes u can get every episode for $1650 but only in australia unfortunely i cant quite afford that amount,but i do know u can get it
Prisoner was on here in Ireland in the early 90s ..it was shown on utv. Used to be on late and me and all my friends got into it big time. even my dad would watch it as he thought the fights were great. Does anyone here know if it can be got on dvd box set as I have never seen the last episode. My favourite character was Ferguson the freak...pure evil and we all love a baddie.
hi yes try the dvd prisoner cell block h .its in a denim look like case . this as classic full episodes the fire the siege also including the full uncut last episode .let me know if you have trouble getting one . i may be able to help as ive got this dvd try ebay .
I was a teenager when this used to be on TV late at night so my Mum used to tape it for me! We loved it. You knew something bad was gonna happen when the freak put those black gloves on!!! Bring back Prisoner Cell Block H!
Oh my!! Love this show, im only 19 but i've been watching it since it came out with my mother i miss it! It needs to come back on television1!! Or at least released on dvd with ALL episodes!
yeah pcbh is the best, been on a few sites and can't believe one compared it to bad girls, bad girls is shit compared to pcbh. i need to buy all of the dvd's...the whole series (box set), does anyone know if they even have a box set...bet it's well over £100 but i can deal with that. buy the boxset,quit my work,lock myself indoors for a few weeks,unplug my fone and watch them back to back lol
I can't remember what her character in prisoner was called, but she played Alf's sister Celia in Home and Away (back in the days when I actualy watched Home and Away) towards the start of your clip. And I know all the of the actors have appeared in various soaps. I remember when they showed it on UTV Julian Simmons used to say "And now the UTV its off to see those big lusty women (he prounced it weemen)in Prisoner cell block H.
A few years ago this was on tv and I would never miss an episode! The last episode was really well done. I MUST see the whole thing again from the start, I only caught the last year's worth of episodes. Ferguson and Merle are my favourites!!
I agree gavpowers. Do you remember a series called "Widows" some years back? That was wrote by a woman wasn't it? (Sorry her name eludes me for now) I also think she would be good at writing it.
It really is time that people stopped farting about with it all. People loved the show then and love it now. We need to see it again! I even think they could do a remake and it would still be great with the right writers. Maybe Russell T Davies.
Prisoner Cell Block H was fab. ITV and Meridian always chopped and changed the time it was on and then managed to 'lose' it, so us fans never got to see at least the last year of it. Bring it back and let us watch it in its entirity - NOW!
everyone thinks coz im 23 im too young to remember, but i was / am the HUUUUUUUGEST fan!! someone pleasssse hurry and get it back! ive registered with these campaign sites! i never knew it was so worldwide! when u see the different lingo's etc! bring back Vinegar Tits! hahaha
i hear it is coming back when the australian network starts in the uk when they get around to doing it keeps being delayed. they say the winter but who knows
