''Bit free with the poison in her younger days though....Arsenic in the cooking pot.'' OMFG, that had me chuckling away, and a much lighter cheeky side to Joan. 14th August 2023.
@@Msclaret Nice! Yes, I watched them all back in the 1990s, but found them all on here last year and have been burning through a few hundred episodes since, hehe.
Have to say Tink still makes a strong impression as a character even though her time on the show was brief. It’s nice that Maxie at least had someone on the outside show her strong loyalty - and I like that she was clear that she would have been strict as a Mum. The fact that she wouldn’t abandon Maxie like Maxine’s family did (and that user toe-rag Spud)... those are the kinds of friends that become your proper family. 💜 And as much as Maxie annoyed me - I would have preferred for her and Tink to just ride off in the darkness and that be the end of it. 😰 I feel much the same for most of the women who aren’t truly horrible like Nola or Marie Winter... that their end comes with the possibility of making a decent fresh start. But that’s not realistic, I know. 😔
So, the guy from the health department comes over to SEE Wally and Judy, says he won't know if they are infected until morning, and then GOES HOME and to his office. LOL
I always thought Monica Ferguson got out of Wentworth and went to run her greasy spoon On the coast! How come she's now called trixi and helping maxi get into more strife! Struth! Lol!
Yeah. Actually I enjoy watching them recycle actors. That's good budgeting. Just a shame. I liked Monica, and for a second there I thought she was back! :-( lol!
Karen Utting Same here, I know it annoys some but I think it's fun, I treat it as like a game by trying to spot the recasts. I would've liked to know what became of Monica by this point but I actually liked Belle, I thought she was cool. I heard Lesley Baker refuses to acknowledge this role funnily enough, I'm not sure why though.
Karen Utting Prisoner should of just kept her as Monica Ferguson, would of been great then to have caught up with a previous character. Makes no sense recasting Lesley Baker as a new character when she had such a big part in the early episodes.
Monica Ferguson from the earlier episodes!! I'm sure they only had about 50 actors during the 80's in Australia. They seem to recycle them every 100 episodes. Still loving the uploads though..... "your bloods worth bottling"
Watching this during the Coronovirus pandemic... Irene going off as she doesn't want to be near anything... touches Lizzy's dirty cup and saucer, then touches her head.
I'm watching during the Pandemic as well. How different this time around is (2nd) watching the outbreak storyline. I work in a grocery store in the United States, working tired and in pain, its a joy to cone home to the comforts of PCBH.
I'm the same watching during lockdown 😂 funny the things you notice about hygiene that you wouldn't have before 😂. This is keeping me sane right now loving it 😍 xx
This episode feels a bit close to home at the minute with the pandemic. The mass inoculation in the prison feels like the vaccine rollout at the moment
Helen Smart would have been only 28 years old in 1983 if she was the same age as the actress who was apparently born in 1955. I know they say she's actually 35 in terms of the character.
Why wait, for lockdowns, I've been, watching, episodes, over and over for years. Was like usual. In lockdown. Just Melbourne life definately was not usual
These "do-gooders" types that crop up in Prisoner from time to time are almost always ridiculous parodies of rich snobs, they're like something out of a P.G. Wodehouse novel.
Poor old Maxine. There was a very brief period in time when it looked like she might have a chance. She was a natural looking after that wee kid and had she pursued that, then perhaps a career in childcare awaited her. And, for all her gaucheness, she had genuine feelings for that ratbag Tony. But neither worked out and she returned to the only environment where she would be accepted without question. Prison. Sadly, you could count on the fingers of one hand the number of people who will genuinely miss her. Lizzie for one. Bea and Judy most likely. And, despite what she said on the phone in their final communication, her mother. Four people. It makes one think. Were we to suffer a sudden demise how many could we honestly say would miss us once the initial shock had worn off?
I am so sorry about Maxine. IT is a lesson for all in life. Slow and steady wins the race. Also mind your business. If she minded her business and did not try to escape with the freak's niece she would have still been alive and in the pound. If she had waited slowly but surely she would have gotten out eventually. This is sad.
Best ever death scene was Brian Blessed as Caesar Augustus in I,Claudius (TV series).You can even see the light fade from out of his eyes,even though the lighting boys didn't do anything to cause it.Brian literally acted it.Amazing!👍🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊
Perhaps Anne misdiagnosed her demise. I mean, she's not exactly an expert in medical stuff. Numerous coffins have been opened down the years where panicky scratches on the roof of the coffin have been found from people misdiagnosed as deceased. I can't think of anything worse than coming to and finding yourself in a coffin under 6 feet of earth. And no possible chance of escape. That's why there was a Victorian era demand for bells above the grave with a rope leading into the coffin. Just in case.....
With Maxi’s poor choices and lack of thinking ahead, the outcome was inevitable. Glad there was someone with her that stuck by her. (Now…..Pixies time to go, her 1 track mind is getting lame)
The other officers don’t have to return to work because of the disease. They could have already been effected! I love how this show stretches the imagination
Lassa Fever...15 to 20 % of hospitalized patients die. Mild cases can have permanent hearing loss as it is common among those affected by Lassa Fever. Severe cases can have bleeding from the eyes, ears and nose.
You can hear the police radio in the background when Wally is with Rosemary at the police station. The police radio conversation is exactly the same one you hear in the final episode of Prisoner (from inside the police car) when the police come to interview Rita about the bank job she pulled.
Robyn I liked Maxine and now she's dead.didn't like at first but she grew on me.just wait till Bea and Lizzy leave.I'm dreading that...I'm sorry Robyn no offence meant but Maxine getting shot upset me.....🔫
Oh I hate this era where everything is changing from the characters we’ve come to know as they grow on us. Even the ones we love to hate and hate to love. I wonder where this episode fits in with the season and year. Does anyone know what season this is from and if it was the beginning middle or end of the season.
6:05.........y'know, when you get to the end of Ep 692 and look back at the series, sometimes it's the most innocent of scenes that sticks in your mind. and every time I see that dryer, I recall that scene where Vera instinctively, without even thinking, pushes the dryer door shut as she walks by. Little realising what it contains. The great Alfred Hitchcock rarely, if ever, used scenes where blood is spilt in his films. He believed that true horror could be portrayed in the simplest of acts. A flock of birds on a child's climbing frame, perhaps, or the taking of a shower. Or, in this case, Vera's instinctive action. It makes you realise how vulnerable we all are to the vagaries of fate. We can be the victim of fate or be its instrument as easily as Vera was that day.
8:04..........from my smoking days, I'm pretty sure that's Dunhill ciggies Bea is smoking. and, if memory serves, that brand was one of the most expensive (just behind Gitanes and, oddly enough, Woodbine). I'd have thought the prisoners would only be offered something cheap and nasty imported from Malaysia or China. Not a top of the range brand. I was Embassy Regal myself though I doubt they were available down under. 7 years 10 months, 9 days and 5 hours since I had my last one. Not that I'm counting.
You don't see those lovely old-fashioned boarding houses now. I remember helping my sons to look when they started uni, they were all about the profits and not comfort and good meals. I ended up buying a house near the uni for them to live in.
33:35 "Arsenic in the cooking pot." A bit of a lapse in terms of consistency when writing the dialogue for Joan while explaining for the PASSAV woman what Lizzie poisoned people with. It was rat poison, but just enough to make the shearers sick, and then someone else applied a heavier dose to kill them, setting Lizzie up in the process.
Ann should have been straight with them all right from the beginning. Prisoners or not, they should still have the right to be informed if their lives are in danger. Can't say I'm sorry to see the back of Maxine, but shooting her was totally uncalled for nevertheless.
Yes Maxine was brilliantly played by the lovley Lisa Critterden who went into another aussie drama called 'All Saints' were she plays a nurse. The late Judith McGrath (so sorrry to hear of her passing away) who played Colleen 'Po Face' Powell also went into 'All Saints' as well. Back to actress Lisa Critterden who played Maxine Daniels she now lives in Melbourne with her husband and her two son's i beleive.
Nicest line ever, "I'm not leaving you like your family did."
Terrible to see what happens to her.
Wally sure is able to splash out the cash for someone who only has one set of clothes and lives in a shed.

There’s obviously plenty of money in pottery, oh and don’t forget he’s upgraded to the attack now.
