MrMogwali1 Yeah, that's what made me think, oh shut the hell up, Chrissie. You're a shitty mother yourself, ending up in prison again and not keeping out of damn trouble. If she had been a decent mother, she would have made money legit and not stolen it. She wouldn't have committed fraud, she wouldn't have skipped prison bail, and she wouldn't have escaped prison. 😃
Yea, that Kim creature is far worse than that weird kid who was Bea Smith’s real life daughter. Not the one who played Debbie, that other strange one from next door.
spectrumlocalb191 It depends on how one goes about things though. You can be firm but fair without taking shit from people and still not behave like Vinegar Tits and the Freak. 😃😊
fick yeah! that blew some serious chunks verbal liquid shit at its best. and margos got a real talent yeah right!. have some respect for the lactose intolerant people of the world they cant help it.
Thats so epic that The Freak owns a Rottweiler. That woman at the end gets no sympathy from me. It breaks my heart to know her little girl forgave her enough to write her a letter. She doesnt deserve that kind of love from her.
strange that the people who've never been abused, can't find the capacity for forgiveness. Yet, it's the victims who often find that strength within themselves and understand that the person who did it was sick. Your willingness to completely dismiss Sally shows your inability to understand mental health issues. Though I wouldn't expect a man to understand Sally's perspective. She's suffering from a mental health issue, what she did to Michelle is wrong, but Sally needs support and help just as much as Michelle does. Peter is the one in the wrong here. He drove his wife to the brink with his abusive behaviour (he's mentally and emotionally abusing Sally, mostly through withholding love and support). Peter hasn't taken a blind bit of notice of Michelle's bruises and was even aggressive towards Maxine. That's the typical man of that era, yelling at women and treating them like sh*t, then shaking off all responsibility.
People in Aus often make fun of Prisoner still but when you think of the issues it raised & topics like lesbianism, violence, teenage pregnancy, child abuse, rape, etc these were taboo topics in the day.
True. From what I've seen, the only American show even remotely like that from that era was All In The Family. I think Prisoner may even be edgier than that.
unfourtunatley not a lot has changed. but there was what appears to be zero respect for women back then. that's why when a woman knocks off her outher half back then there like good onya love ?? but not a lot has changed. I once heard growing up that men fear pain, and women expect it. I'm a women myself and that never sounded right to me it still dosent.
You are right - Prisoner ran with topics that no other TV show at the time would touch, and in that regard it was a lone pioneer. But, it also follows the grand tradition of cheaply made Australian television complete with wobbling set walls, numerous performance mistakes that should have been re-shot, sometimes woeful scripting and at times laughable acting. That we look back on it and poke fun at it is more to do with affection rather than scathing criticism.
There is so much that is unbelievable here. How could the prison authorities let Neil Murray loose in Woodridge when women prisoners, especially Chrissie are there!
Patricia Halls Yes, it is unbelievable. The prison authorities are incompetent and stupid. It is far fetched, but sadly that's Prisoner and other television shows for you. Hehe. 😄😃
Once again, Erica has failed to judge a delicate situation and take appropriate action. Colleen warned her numerous times that Sally was in distress and needing help, but Erica in all her wisdom decides to leave it till whenever Dr Weissman returns to see Paddy. You cannot afford to opt for convenience and just wait when dealing with someone in such a delicate mental state. I'm sure Dr Weissman would have gladly made another trip if he thought a potential life was at stake. Meg's latest brainwave to want to get to know Joan better is absolutely ridiculous.
Heather Elliott There's nothing wrong with 8ballpoolking1 having an opinion (although he makes damn good sense every time he posts) on this prison drama series, unlike others looking at it like it's a damn comedy with slightly shaky sets, storylines and acting. 😃😊
True that Meg trying to befriend Freak is an asinine move. But, it's all lady Hitler's fault nobody likes her! And, YES! I said lady Hitler. Hell, the bitch even has the same breed of dog the Nazi's used...the Bullmastiff! I know they also had German Shepherds, but the Bullmastiff is much more vicious, and go straight for the throat. As for Sally Dempster, the entire prison staff is taking someone's mental illness as they usually do. They brush it off until someone either attempts or succeeds suicide. Afterwards, they all sit around with their thumbs up their asses, saying bullshit like,"If I'd only known.", or "If someone had only said how serious the situation was."...or something along that line. But, Davo really only worries about "THE DEPARTMENT", and how they will handle the crisis. And, we all know that the department DOES NOTHING to prevent a crisis. And, we all know that that ratbag jackass weasel department brown-noser Douglas will only worry about how a suicide will reflect on the Minister. "After all, it is an election year!", is Douglas's favorite go-to line!
So Bea Smith seems to have gone missing again, they must have her working 24/7 shifts at that place. Watching this the second time around I see Bea as a part time character, apparently she had a different deal then all the other actresses, it would be nice to have a full time top dog though. Whenever she's sent to the pound she will be gone for 5+ episodes.
@@rosslamb7069 fiona Spence said when she was exhausted with the filming schedule and as bea is in this upto episode 400 I'm not surprised she needed a few episodes off!!!!
I was living independently at 14, I had a job and was doing really well. I would be around the same age as the fictional Kim, having been born in 1964.
Chrissie has never once raised her hand to her daughter. She may be annoying and stupid at times, but she loves her daughter and would never beat her unlike that vile woman
@@sb6678but Chrissie's a negligent mom who thinks of her sex drive first and steals. She's not a mentally stable mom. Sally Dempster disciplines her child but just went a bit far that's all.
Joan's Rottweiler Haddo? is beautiful. You know over here they think these dogs are killers, but really, it's the owners, they way they they train them, not the animals. I've saw videos on here with Rottweilers and babies, the dogs love the babies and they don't hurt them either. WOW! Colleen sure has changed. Letting Sally have a good cry in her cell. She practically dragged Alison Page out of her cell for crying over her two children. Oh HELL NO! Not again! PLEASE!
I adore Rotties. My friend has had 3 of them over the years, all rescues from bad backgrounds, and they were the most lovable dogs I've ever known. She raised her three kids with them. Never had any problems with them whatsoever.
So "Kim" (Kerry) is the daughter of Cookie, Bea's workplace pal then? I looked up the actress who played her, she only has Prisoner as an acting credit in her IMDb profile, lol. She actually went on to become a university professor, which tbh seems like a more suitable career for her
Joan's advice to Dempster - "get up off you backside and stop moping about" - is probably spot-on. Better than the sort of mollycoddling Meg would come up with. ps - Michelle can spell neither "mummy" nor "daddy". Being 4 is no excuse.
Poor Meg? More like stupid Meg. You can't go from being in collusion to get the freak fired to then inviting her to dinner when that all fails. I hate the freak but at least she is consistent with how she feels about everyone!
"Come on, she's not a criminal, just a frightened kid.." Oh Judy, if they have a pretty face. Throwing Cookie and husband into the mix was good. I love the men's prison - especially when Murray's involved
Exactly. At the point that Jude said that, she knew absolutely nothing about the kid. For all she knew, she could have mass murdered her family and was on the run. Judy is such a Pollyanna! I actually do like the character, but she can be written as so damn irritating at times.
L C Well, Pollyanna or not, she is one of the inmates (albeit formerly) who thinks differently to the other women, who wants to give someone or something the benefit of the doubt, unlike others who are not sure about someone or something. So it is good that someone doesn't want to be cynical and sarcastic all the time like anyone else tends to be at times. Yes, she doesn't always get things right, but no more than the rest of the characters. It makes her human and real, like us real life people. 😃
Didn't like the music playing while Cookie's husband was comforting Carrie. It's getting me to make assumptions and I really hope I'm wrong about them.
My guess is that those assumptions are going to turn out to be fairly accurate. I am only on a first run-through of this series, so I have no inside knowledge, but all the signs are pointing.
I forgot who Cookie was to be honest, considering we've not seen anything of Bea or that work place for a few episodes now. I thought the storyline got scrapped.
Background music to indicate something sinister has been used since movies have been made, look at how it added to the movie Jaws. Steven Spielberg said that as a result of the background music you never had to see the shark to know it was there and something was about to happen. it's called a leitmotif
who else thinks this halfway house plot has just about run its course I mean come on every crim that walks in the door gets away with murder and Judy just waltzes off somewhere... seems like there's more happening there then the women who are being sentenced to go to Wentworth
a1wireless1964 It's definitely a pathway towards Wentworth for any female character, that's for certain, and it is definitely a way of bringing in new characters as well. 😃
Once Joan always got so-called copies of the prisoner fields paperwork, she will always have over barrel, to say, jump, whenever she feels like it. I wouldn't allow her to
Three months ago I wrote this. Now I see I made it to the end and back to here in three months! Of course that’s leaving the show run 24/7 and sleeping through some. I did one go round where I made it until the freak came and body searched Doreen because she scared me. I gave it another try and went the whole way through. Then I watched what I call the good years from 300 on and now I’m in the middle of another straight run through. It’s funny that we can document our time watching in the comments.
Ray S I've never known a kid to have such a huge head, it's gigantic. I'm still debating on who had the biggest head in the series, her or former prisoner Ros.
People such as her who enjoy being hated by other humans can often show kindness to animals. Probably because they know any feelings of love they show will often be reciprocated.
Merilee S The problem is though, Vera and Joan are bloomin' horrible to people 99% of the time and that vile side always wins over the side of the good 1%. They would need to fight against it and win, but they can't be bothered to want to be 100% good, nice and happy. They enjoy being nasty and miserable as if it is strength, which is stupid and naive and ironic, as it is weakness. So who would want to be friends, or even lovers with them if those outsiders knew what they were really like?
Carrie/Kim's mother is Bea's friend at work who has problems with her daughter and her husband is having affairs. So did the father commit incest and get his daughter pregnant ?
Remember Linn 'Wonky' Warner in the early episodes of PCBH she was played by actress Kerry Armstrong and if you'r interested in seeing what Kerry looks like now as of 2018 (as of these past few weeks), she has appeared in soap Neighbours playing the manipulative and down right nasty Alice, a live-in nanny and housekeeper to the Rebbechis kids...check it out!
How can Judy expect Tony not to call the police just because she doesn't want any adult people that are released from prison to maybe go to her shabby shelter and find out its a "dob in" centre as she put it .
Cookie: "Bea smith told me about this place. I work with her." Judy: "Oh...." -- lol, seriously Judy, that's all you can muster in response to such a MASSIVE coincidence? Honestly if the writers are to be believed, Melbourne is just a small village where everyone knows each other
Oh dear a complete scenery change lol why did they put the portakabin back in on the outside shots 28:25 ................. When they are on exercise there's a building and car park there
I hope Chrissy finally gets it this time. I'm so sick of her! The spots the inmates keep getting themselves into would stop if they would just lag on the screws!! That shit gets old!! 😬
Creepy dad, poor girl. Meg must be mad wanting to socialize with The Freak. Didnt think The Freak had a dog. Margo's escape is going to go pear shape, its got disaster written all over it.
grecosgreece daz He and other characters weren't created yet. As this was before the future of the series, no original viewers knew about those characters except for us who know now when rewatching the series on UA-cam. 😃
So Driscoll house only has one guest who doesn't even pay board lol and there's nobody ever working in the shop, where's their income coming from and why is Judy getting a wage when all she's doing is living in a house??
Tony, Judy, Helen work the counter in the shop. Judy isn't (just living the house) she's been raising money, and organizing the toy production with the prisoners at Wentworth.
So they set up a concert where caged women suddenly get to casually hang out with caged men?? LOL. Also, they well know that the maniac who tried to kill Chrissie is in Woodridge. There's no way they should allow that guy out of isolation (he should rightfully be in a mental institution) while the women are visiting, nor should Chrissie be going there. What a comedy of errors. Get Ted Douglas there to bang their heads together already! lol Still love good old Prisoner.
I'm glad Paddy gave Sally a listening ear and didn't come down on her like a ton of bricks like the others. Of course, any sort of child bashing is wrong, but there are certain circumstances where it's much easier to have sympathy for the person who has done this.
I don't understand something, here in the U.S they would never allow someone to stay in a half way house that always comes in stoned. Maxi would have been out on her ass the first day she came in loaded.
LegitAllyson There might have been more of a chance of redeeming Vera. With Joan there is no chance as she is too far gone for redemption. She enjoys being nasty, evil and downright cynical and miserable.
34:32 To see Joan Freakuson outside the prison and in the light of day--a bit like seeing a vampire after sunrise.
was she on fire lol? wish she was.
PrisoneroftheNight SHE MAKES VERA LOOK LIKE CINDERELLA.
i read somewhere that they didnt use makeup much as they wanted to make the show look as raw as possible..
which helps cast such as Chrissy more real in their make up.

Don't Insult Rotties! They're gorgeous,a million miles away from Joan The Freak Ferguson!🇬🇧❤❤❤🐊🐊🐊
@@DianaSheward 😂
She likes the big dogs; but not the top dogs😢

Once Joan always got so-called copies of the prisoner fields paperwork, she will always have over barrel, to say, jump, whenever she feels like it. I wouldn't allow her to
Wow, kim the 14yo that's at the boarding home, has a wedding ring on her finger!!!
...CAREY's dad probably gave her the ring...the way this story-line is going, I wouldn't be surprised...
I’ve just heard that the bearded gorilla surname is Reynolds. He eventually marries someone called Pippa Reynolds. Not much imagination there 😂
30:41 Coleen's face is priceless lmao
Not as priceless as her hair though. Hair-grip heaven!
Omg Judy is fuming her jail bate project might be getting taken away - safe and sound at the halfway house with her about my arse
It would've been so much funnier if the freaks dog had been a poodle or Chihuahua 🤣🤣
Doesn’t Doreen come back? I thought she stayed on the show until around episode 400 something.
Three months ago I wrote this. Now I see I made it to the end and back to here in three months! Of course that’s leaving the show run 24/7 and sleeping through some. I did one go round where I made it until the freak came and body searched Doreen because she scared me. I gave it another try and went the whole way through. Then I watched what I call the good years from 300 on and now I’m in the middle of another straight run through. It’s funny that we can document our time watching in the comments.
Thankfully when she does she isn't portrayed as an over grown baby
Ceris evil dad should go to that man's prison and be put in a cell with big tough men he's horrible
How the hell is Kim only 14 she looks 30
Ray S I've never known a kid to have such a huge head, it's gigantic. I'm still debating on who had the biggest head in the series, her or former prisoner Ros.
Surprised that The Freak has a dog, didn't think she cared about anything other than herself!
People such as her who enjoy being hated by other humans can often show kindness to animals. Probably because they know any feelings of love they show will often be reciprocated.
Yeah people with a hatred for humans often enjoy the company of animals. Let's be honest, dogs are loyal, people let you down
I can actually sympathize with her on her preference for animals. Vera seemed to be a good dog owner too, for the little time she had one.
tazz121 I think it's also because animals do rely on people though, unlike the wild animals who do alright, who aren't domesticated. 😃
Merilee S The problem is though, Vera and Joan are bloomin' horrible to people 99% of the time and that vile side always wins over the side of the good 1%.
They would need to fight against it and win, but they can't be bothered to want to be 100% good, nice and happy.
They enjoy being nasty and miserable as if it is strength, which is stupid and naive and ironic, as it is weakness.
So who would want to be friends, or even lovers with them if those outsiders knew what they were really like?
Carrie/Kim's mother is Bea's friend at work who has problems with her daughter and her husband is having affairs. So did the father commit incest and get his daughter pregnant ?
Exactly what I was thinking
at 2:49 Maxi uses the Cockney slang term he won't lag to the ducks and geese which = police, just wondering if a lot of cockney made it to Strailia
Yep, lots of rhyming slang in Australia - some of it borrowed from UK and some of it more "localised".
I read somewhere that the characters Paddy and Barbara were supposed to be 23 and 19. I would have thought it was the other way around 🤔
Barbara is only 20
Barbara looks to be in her 30s🤯🤣
@@fabpcbhfan9592I agree!
Midnight special Margo
I think Colleen is relieved with Fergo's dinner refusal.
I think Kerry has a face somewhere under those eyebrows
KIMLYPEN I'm not so sure about a face but she definitely has a head, it's bloody huge.
I think Mad Maxie was dropped on her head as an infant. She makes Doreen look like a bloomin genius.
Remember Linn 'Wonky' Warner in the early episodes of PCBH she was played by actress Kerry Armstrong and if you'r interested in seeing what Kerry looks like now as of 2018 (as of these past few weeks), she has appeared in soap Neighbours playing the manipulative and down right nasty Alice, a live-in nanny and housekeeper to the Rebbechis kids...check it out!
How can Judy expect Tony not to call the police just because she doesn't want any adult people that are released from prison to maybe go to her shabby shelter and find out its a "dob in" centre as she put it .
Is this because her character is a lesbian. That just your dirty mind working over time
Cookie: "Bea smith told me about this place. I work with her." Judy: "Oh...." -- lol, seriously Judy, that's all you can muster in response to such a MASSIVE coincidence? Honestly if the writers are to be believed, Melbourne is just a small village where everyone knows each other
I thought Jaws was going to attack at 10:00
DOES ANYONE HAVE THE PRISONER STARS ALBUM THAT WAS RELEASED DURING THE RUN. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR LIZZY SING.
Who takes care of the Freak's dog when she's at work 24 7? There must be piles of poop to clean.
Oh dear a complete scenery change lol why did they put the portakabin back in on the outside shots 28:25 ................. When they are on exercise there's a building and car park there
She needs a haircut lol 8:58
Nah I like a bush.
Will we know what was behind the Freak's demand that the concert go all wrong? What's in it for her? Nice to see Meg again.
She wants to see Powell discredited, hoping to get her job.
+pandoraamos1 Of course. Thank you
She wants Powell's job, eventually Erica's
Then the world........ probably!🇬🇧❤❤❤🐊🐊🐊
It's the dad Jude. I wish that guy hadn't called the cops to take her back home
I hope Chrissy finally gets it this time. I'm so sick of her! The spots the inmates keep getting themselves into would stop if they would just lag on the screws!! That shit gets old!! 😬
Creepy dad, poor girl. Meg must be mad wanting to socialize with The Freak. Didnt think The Freak had a dog. Margo's escape is going to go pear shape, its got disaster written all over it.
Len Murphy were is he at wooddridge
grecosgreece daz He and other characters weren't created yet. As this was before the future of the series, no original viewers knew about those characters except for us who know now when rewatching the series on UA-cam. 😃
Vera name mentioned she is lot different from joan lol
So Driscoll house only has one guest who doesn't even pay board lol and there's nobody ever working in the shop, where's their income coming from and why is Judy getting a wage when all she's doing is living in a house??
Tony, Judy, Helen work the counter in the shop. Judy isn't (just living the house) she's been raising money, and organizing the toy production with the prisoners at Wentworth.
Judy is running the house. It's her job. Do you not require paying for your work?
That Kim has one big head, I've not seen anything so huge since Ros Coalson lol
It's not so much that she has a big head but that her body is too small for it
So they set up a concert where caged women suddenly get to casually hang out with caged men?? LOL. Also, they well know that the maniac who tried to kill Chrissie is in Woodridge. There's no way they should allow that guy out of isolation (he should rightfully be in a mental institution) while the women are visiting, nor should Chrissie be going there. What a comedy of errors. Get Ted Douglas there to bang their heads together already! lol Still love good old Prisoner.
It's difficult to tell whether Maxine is 18 or 25, (or how old the actress is).
I'm glad Paddy gave Sally a listening ear and didn't come down on her like a ton of bricks like the others. Of course, any sort of child bashing is wrong, but there are certain circumstances where it's much easier to have sympathy for the person who has done this.
Well said.
Nonsense
BOY THEY SURE DO GET SOME REAL WHIMP'S IN PRISON.
OMG! I thought they got rid of Barbara Fields.😤
What a great idea let's put a suicidal prisoner in a cell with an ideal hanging space........🤔🤯
The hanging spaces appear from nowhere when needed. They are never there in normal episodes.
I don't understand something, here in the U.S they would never allow someone to stay in a half way house that always comes in stoned. Maxi would have been out on her ass the first day she came in loaded.
Suz Valentino They can't chuck out their only guest lol. The halfway house realistically should be shut down due to a lack of interest.
Let the midnight special 😅😅😅😅😅😅 is that all the words
I’m surprised Powell is showing such sympathy for the Dempster chick. It’s very much not like her.
Po Face Powell said it. " Ferguson is downright dangerous ( a sociopath) nothing like Vera.
This episode makes me physically sick.
The halfway house is a joke, Judy is running it horribly
Joan is not even like Vera.
LegitAllyson There might have been more of a chance of redeeming Vera. With Joan there is no chance as she is too far gone for redemption. She enjoys being nasty, evil and downright cynical and miserable.
@@Summer21. Vera is a rule follower and Vera only would of ruined the concert on principle Joan wanted to ruin the concert just to be evil.
Joan meets len soon
don't like this phony sympathetic side to Powell
Would it just be freaky if the freak was real and just kept creeping up on you 👀
Nice to see powell take interest in some one
