I didn't realise how beautiful Fiona's eye's were. I watched the series from the start. Too much was made of the Bea Smith aspect. The occur thing was good but it wasn't the be all and end all. Florence also had a bigger role that was often overlooked.
I love Fiona Spence. Vera Bennett (then and now) is my favorite character on PCBH...it's a very deep character and Ms. Spence played it to perfection. Not just the bitchiness, and hardness but to let us peep, in bits, here and there, to the underlying frustration, loneliness and vulnerability of Vera, was a joy to watch (in the 70's/80's AND now again, thanks to YouTube. I love the whole show, but Fiona Spence, in my opinion, hands down was the best ACTRESS on the series. Thx for posting
@AllGrownUpSteph I quequed to see her after the show ok she was tired,I said to her and Jane Clifton,they looked good after all the years since Prisnoer,Fiona remained poker faced,Jane laughed and said it was plastic surgery.
I asked Fiona if she was still on "Home And Away" she replied icily twice ,she was "still on air",in otherwords she wasn't in the show anymore,anyway good actress,not the warmest of people.
@dramaticguy oh ok. fiona is my favorite actress on prisoner and i don't like people saying she wasn't nice :/ im sorry for ur experience with her. maybe she had a long day, but at least u got to meet her :) i wish i could.
@AllGrownUpSteph Hope I didn't upset you,just being honest,yes maybe had a long day but I came away thinking you're not very nice,doesn't take alot of effort to be civil,ah well.
Fiona Spence played fantastic Vera Bennette. She's a very talented and good actress. With Bea Smith she is my favourite character in "Prisoner". Thank you very much for this interview.
Fascinating, thanks for posting. Interesting that she denies the wobbly walls story, it's what everyone says but seems to be a bit of an urban myth. Actually I think the show was quite well made, and some bloody good acting in it too. Vera was excellent, so was Lizzie.
I came here to watch Fiona but im entranced by Judy's good looks. I remember her like this. You should see pics of her from the 70s. Wow, why did she end up with Madeley?
@MayIRemindU OMG!! I love your comment! I say the same thing to all the people i know who slag of Judy!! She must be so stressed out sitting next to him on that bloody couch for years,never knowing what embarrising shit he is gonna say next on live TV!! The poor woman! I leave my dog tied up outside Tesco sometimes & she is Quivering & shaking when i come out ,just like Judy! The poor bugger!! Richard must have been on the ROB Again! More Red Wine!! LOL!!!
Fiona Spence: great actor and what a classy lady.

I met Fiona Spence after a Prisoner show in 89,she wasn't very nice being honest.
Jane Clifton aka Margo was lovely though.

Prisoner Cell Block H was tame by todays standards on TV, There were some nude scenes in the earlier episodes, but THAT'S Nothing compared to NOW.
