Prisoner Cell Block H Episode 1

Great what more can i say in this cell.

loved this show!  bring back prisoner!

If you bump the bull you will get the horn from Frankie!

Do you still live San Francisco? If they ever show this again in the US let me know.

The first episode had a very sober beginning - you would never imagine in episode one events such as a prisoner riding on a Harley Davidson motorbike, a prisoner dealing with an officer to get rid of her or things like that which happened in episode 692. The arival of liberal characters like Tom Lucas and even dominating ones like Joan Ferguson along with talk of "reward cells" and "reforms" seem like a long time into the future here.

Ulster Television had shown the series (if it counts as Irish TV), but gave up when there was about 130 episodes to go.

true,channel 5 then picked it up.

Maybe because Frankie wouldn't take shit from anyone she was fearless so that's why they honored her! Very interesting to know they did a wake for her SF. Frankie to me was the ultimate warriror but she had her good side with Doreen, she really loved her.

Yeah, you're right about that. I read The Franky Doyle Story when I was a Teenager and her life was very rough. Parents died, she and her brother were put into Foster Care, so Doreen was all she really had. Now I realize that when Vinegar Tits wanted to transfer Doreen to room with Marilyn, Franky probably felt "abandoned" once again.

What is sad is their are thousands of Franky's and Sam's who have had hideous lives. If only people who do not want their kids would give them to loving homes. Their is a lot of truth in Cell Block H about life in prison from what a friend told me. So sad!
