HMM That was the good old days, Coca Cola was still in glass bottles and made with real sugar. I saw an interview with Patsy, or Erica. She said that they started filming in September of 1978. So when Prisoner premiered it was three or four months behind.
According to the year this was Mum must have been there since 1964. I don't think he looks like Pernell Roberts, MMMMMM a naked man poster on the door. MMMMM John Travolta poster! Back then when he was cute. I remember the pregnant woman. They took him away from her when he turned 1, so I know I saw season 2
@iamwhoiamwhoiammark2 I think that you'e referring to Hoss. Oh, here's another fun fact. The Actor who played Candy David Canary, was one of the most successful Actors on US Soaps who played Adam Chandler on All My Children from 1984-2009. Sadly enough, AMC is being cancelled as is One Life To Live.
@laminage Another fun fact. Terry Trimble who playes Bea's husband acted in Australia soap opera The Box a couple of times, and appeared nude in that show's 'nudist retreat' episode.
Naw, it was just a unusual observation. I live in Canada, and although it's been shown on TV as Caged Heat, I never actually saw it. However, I did see Bad Girls.
Prisoner was shown as Caged Heat? I know in the UK they added Cell Block H to the title because they had a show about a male in some situation called Prisoner or Prisoners, at least that's how I remember being told.
I'm dying to see Bad Girls but apparently the producers are right onto it when ppl put it online and I dont' think it will be shown in Australia. I REALLY want to find it, if it's to be found. Most of us up to the 550s have sworn to start again from 1. It's tempting but too long.
Forgive me if I was too detailed oriented. On the Nikki & Helen Bad Girls Website, there's a Subchapter called "Things You May Have Missed." Also, don't you notice that on PCBH, The Inmates are "Served" their Food while on Bad Girls, The Inmates had to stand in line to be served.
Also, the reason why they called PCBH Caged Heat was to prevent confusion to The Viewers. In fact, there's a US Talk Show called The Doctors and in the 1970's, there was a Soap Opera called "The Doctors", that Ted Danson started out on before he played Sam Malone on Cheers.
Anyway my point is that it actually IS the same on Prisoner mainly. They all have to stand in line to get food and scrape their own plates. It's just these early eps that they hadn't ironed out those sort of kinks.
@SharnsiR nahh 'Caged Heat' was a terrible American women's prison movie with Linda Blair and Stella Stevens. But apparently 'Prisoner' was shown in Canada under the title 'Caged WOMEN'.
@zaniac100 oh my god actually 'Caged Heat' was a sexy women's prison movie featuring Erica Gavin and several other exploitation film lovelies. Sorry Erica! The one with Linda Blair was 'Chained Heat'!
@laminage Well the portrait was for the audience's benefit so we'd know who he was when we saw him, and so we'd be shocked when Bea killed him. The effect wouldn't have been so good had they used a ten year old picture. Bea hated him - but no one else (audience, cell mates, parole board) knew that.
@zaniac100 Tha't's a brilliant analysis. I never thought of it that way. You guys are so lucky that you were able to watch it. Here in Canada it was on a Channell call Out TV under the name Caged Women. They also showed Bad Girls. They were going to do a US Version of Bad Girls but it never got off the ground. Alot of Fans wanted US Soap Actress Crystal Chappell (Ex-Olivia Spencer) Guiding Light to play Helen Stewart but she's busy doing her own show Venice.
@laminage Thanks. Of course you technically are correct Bea wouldn't really have the portrait. It is unlikely she'd even want it, as she hated the hubby. Unless of course she got it so she could sit in her cell gloating at the pic while plotting her revenge? Actually, given this was Bea Smith, maybe that is the case?! I used to watch this on TV in Aust in the 1980s! It was great.
how desperate can this electrician be , to get all strung up over a hooker prisoner

I just realized something. If Bea hadn't seen Freddy in 10 Years, wouldn't she have a picture of him from around 1969.
