Frigging Doreen. One minute she's doing a heavy number on the Doc for "snooping," and then five minutes later she's having a right old snoop around Bea's cell! She's such a hypocrite and a baby.
Yes, she well and truly fucked up there with Linda. Shame on Meg. It’s only because of the guilt of letting Linda down and that no twat wants to talk to her, nor help themselves, is why she feels she can’t help anyone out of the prison, which she’ll still bloody well do when she returns as a prison officer, then everything will be hunky dory again to everyone in the series.
shes MEANT to b annoying... thats her part... brought up in the system... i think their mistake was getting an actress way too old to play her part... she looks ridiculous in pigtails and acting like a spoiled kid when shes early thirties
I've always considered this to be a pretty good episode. It had 3 significant moments, Sandy taking over as Top Dog, Meg finally deciding to return as a screw, and Bea admitting she was ill, even though her self-diagnosis was wrong.
It's always amazed me how self centered everyone is, and not realizing that something is wrong with Bea. The only one who knows is Kate the killer quack, and she won't tell anyone else! I know she's reading this medical books to confirm her suspicions, but she could at least alert Fletcher that something is wrong. For over 35+ years, I have become so emotionally attached to an out of date cast of characters, that I feel like they're my family. It's the only series I have felt such a connection. I was addicted to Friends for the 10 years it ran, and never missed an episode. But Prisoner is a different thing altogether. Guess I need a vacation in isolation or something. lol
I've watched the series multiple times. Like yourself, they feel like family and I agree how self centred Beas friends are and they fall apart without Queen Bea. Of course Doreen commits a very self less act soon when she donates a kidney to Bea
Who would listen to Kate? No-one listened when she tried to tell them about Linda and she was right. So by now Kate has worked out she is just another prisoner and not a doctor.
I've never understood why the screws (and Meg) bother trying to ask the victims of beatings what happened, especially in front of the prisoner who did the beating. They know fine well there's a no lag rule and that they'd never put themselves at risk by telling. And yet every time it's "Who hit you" and "what happened" and then they act all pissed off when nobody will tell them, as if they were expecting anything else.
Colleen said she doesn't know how anyone could dislike Gordon? Seriously? He's one of the most unlike let people to ever be on the show, and considering it's had Roz, Sharon, Gillespie, etc. that's saying something.
Rules of Wentworth: No smoking in the visiting rooms unless you smoke. No ex prisoners visiting unless you visit. No talking back to guards unless you feel like it. No romance between staff unless you want to steal a quick kiss. 41:50 what is up with Lizzy's head scarf? Looks like blood on it. Bea has cancer?
Actually, they are the rules of life. Did you not realise this? It is simple really, but the old adage, "Just don't get caught" also follows as part of those rules.
"Darling" Bob's going away on a business trip for 6 months--so, guess he was written out of the show sometime previously and Meg informing Jim of the trip just makes it official? From the comments here, he didn't seem too popular a character, and perhaps television viewers in 1981 expressed similar sentiments.
Good on Jim Fletcher. Whilst Erica is on leave he's taken the opportunity to get rid of her awful vase Erica has on her filing cabinet, 23:06, though I'm not too sure about the replacement. Don't look too nice either.
@@baronmeduse Haha,it's a badge of honor.When I first learned that Kevins and Darrens were the male Karens,I laughed my ass off.Now I don't feel safe-and demand to see your manager.
Telecom are taking their sweet time getting back to Lizzie regarding checking out the phone calls she's been receiving....Thank goodness Meg has finally come to her senses somewhat and admitted defeat regarding her position of counsellor. She wasn't the greatest of officers, but she sure was shit as a counsellor. Going back to being an officer is the best of a bad job in the circumstances, quite literally.
@@rosslamb6643 Yeah, Chrissie is often accounted for, and Margo most of the time. But Mouse just disappears, which is pretty hard to do if she resides in H Block lol.
@@rosslamb6643 They've blocked all the Prisoner episodes on youtube in Australia this year unfortunately, so I can't quickly go back and have a look at what I commented on last year, which would be nice. They have put the episodes on demand on Channel 10, but the format is per season, so not as easy to jump straight in.
There were enough french pastries in the box for two, Jim. I think you were supposed to invite Janet to join you. I'd have thought Bea's symptoms more in line with a brain tumour than cancer. Where is Erica?? She's going to come back to find Meg back in uniform, a new top dog and a colour telly in the rec room. That'll teach you to go off sick, Guv.
Did you notice a telephone on Bea Smiths desk where she's brail typing. Left unsupervised, she could be making so many calls or listen in on internal calls.
Sandy Edwards is an extremely tedious character. So smart she ends up in jail for 22 years. I wish someone would just do her in and get her out of the way. She's boring.
Meg did spend a temorous amount of time in prison as a Parole officer who already had an office elsewhere. It shouldn't be too hard for her to settle back in.
Does Meg Morris ever actually work? Her entire day seems to be drinking coffee in the staff room gossiping, sat in the governor’s office moaning or stood in the corridor sticking her nose in
I hope Sandy and Kate beat the living hell out of Doreen and Judy, I love the actors that play them, but they are the type that you love to hate once in a while.
I think Sandy's gotta be one of the worst top dogs in this. Fletch will forever be a lecherous git. Gordon is a despicable little mongrel, bullying and hounding Lizzie in that awful fashion.
16:05 Meg really does get annoying in these episodes! Shes harrasing everyone in the prison because deep down she knows she is guilty of neglecting the signs that Linda Goldman suffered depression when she lost her freedom after kidnapping Erica and going to prison. Kate went to Meg to try and help Linda, what did Meg do...0...Judy went to her to help Linda...what did Meg do again...0. It seemed to me Mighty Meg wasn't't so mighty in the first place...more like HIGH AND MIGHTY. She should of become a politician...Meg the Tory!!!! (rolls eyes) 🙄😒
The writing for Lil and Bev is very inconsistent, one minute they are supposed to be hard nuts and the next minute the likes of Hazel is telling them both to hand their cigarettes over and they do it or a few episodes back where Doreen pushes Lil out the way and Lil does nothing back
Not sure that attacking a convicted murderess who looks exactly like a pantomime villian was the brightest thing to do in the situation. We all know that Doreen actually IS that thick. But Judy and Hazel? I'm not so sure.
I'm sorry but our girls have fallen pretty low, especially Judy. ik Doreen was weak by herself, but dang, I thought she could get down cuz she bashed a few ppl (Sharon G. I think, I forgot)
Lizzie to Gordon - “Bugger off”!! 😂😂😂
Frigging Doreen. One minute she's doing a heavy number on the Doc for "snooping," and then five minutes later she's having a right old snoop around Bea's cell! She's such a hypocrite and a baby.
Bit of a cheek Meg going to the funeral of someone that she probably could have helped to stay alive 😂
Yes, she well and truly fucked up there with Linda. Shame on Meg.

Now Meg is ignoring Lizzie's concerns
So tied of hearing Doreen screeching about people being stuck up and better than her!!
Teral Miles They are better though.
Everyone is better than that fat piece of shit
I hate the actress it's her voice that's horrid
shes MEANT to b annoying... thats her part... brought up in the system... i think their mistake was getting an actress way too old to play her part... she looks ridiculous in pigtails and acting like a spoiled kid when shes early thirties
@@queeng5925 The character Doreen's age is 25 I think
This woman was "brilliant" what a wonderful actress so sadly missed R.I.P Sheila Florence...😔
Yes, she was absolutely brilliant. They were lucky to have her on the cast She was one of my favourite characters along with Joan Ferguson.
The writer certainly loved the phrase 'it stands to reason' in all my days I've never heard it said so frequently.
The High Priestess - Connecting the realms haha so true! There is an earlier episode where it gets said at least 5 or 6 times in one scene!lol
Yeah, noticed that... amongst the screws and prisoners. And as if a dumbo like Doreen would say that LOLs
I say it quite a bit l9l
That Gordon is despicable, trying to frighten Lizzie.
Really starting to like Sandy, about time someone put Doreen in her place !
OId Powell bossing Lizzie in her own home and taking sides with old grey-headed Hitler. I hope Lizzie gets someone to believe her.
I hate Po face. they should have brought The Freak in sooner to replace Vera.
@@lamontbradford4630 not me the freak made the show boring
@@natvan29 The Freak was too over the top.
@@jhibberd6290 certainly after 1984 she was
Its stupid how no one will believe Lizzie. Po face & Meg know she's not losing the plot
Meg :"I can't believe the change in Janet!" I guess sleeping with the governor will give you a different perspective.
Did I hear Powell slap an order on Lizzy inside her own property?! LOL! 🤣
I would have taken the long overdue opportunity to tell her to f/off.
She certainly tried to god she definitely takes her work home
Mrs Powell to Lizzie "go back inside That's an order" 😂😂😂
Who the hell is Po Face to tell Lizzie what to do on her own property. Powell is a bigger nazi than Vera. Speaking of nazi’s Gordon looks like Hitler.
Po Face is miserable and nasty old crow
Theres Jude & Doreen lookin like a couple of teletubbies!
Yasss Doreen is the ultimate Teletubby!
The fatty twins - Boombahs and Boomsticks
True! Bursting out of those tatty dungarees, all saggy boobs and spare tyres

Imagine if Merle was in it now. "I'll bam you!"
Her and sandy Edwards, that would be interesting.
I wish Merle was in it a lot longer than she was. I love her 😍
@@sarahcampbell0915 she was a good character and Lizzie would have loved her.
Merle and Cass together.
Satisfaction at last, Doreen gets a bashing. Long over due.
Nosey powel sticking her nose in Lizzys business, has nothing to do with her seen lizzy is no longer a prisoner...
QU33N NITR0S I agree Powell is a bitch
Seen? Do you mean seeing? I don't understand your comment.
Powell should stick to picking up men behind her husbands back.
And telling Sids son that Lizzie is senile. That's nasty.
Lizzie "I've seen nicer things riggling around in rat traps"
"Are there any biscuits"? "Yeah I think there's some over there" -- really engaging dialog from the scriptwriters sometimes!
😂😂😂 I know. Some of the dialogue is like an 11 year old wrote it. Yet I still watch
Quite recently Vera points out there should be more tea in "that cupboard" lol.
Hardly unusual in a place where people drink tea/coffee and might have a biscuit. As a prelude to actual conversation.
Colleen said she doesn't know how anyone could dislike Gordon? Seriously? He's one of the most unlike let people to ever be on the show, and considering it's had Roz, Sharon, Gillespie, etc. that's saying something.
Powell is such a bitch, she’d enjoy the twisted kind like Gordon Humphreys
Fletch is into ex cons. Caroline Simpson, Jackie Nolan, and now the ginger Bunny Boiler.
Janet after the kiss… “What are you gonna have for lunch?” Jim, “probably a wank!!!” 🤪
LMAO Lizzie, you tell old Powell!

Fletch is a bit of a Neander.
I'm going back and forth on my tablet between Wentworths series. Love both of these series
Absolutely loved the sandy Edwards era brilliant xx
@ 6:23 - Doreen being roughed up makes me giggle. LOL.
Perhaps you need to see someone?
@@baronmeduseYour mom or sister.
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett You'll have to go to a graveyard for my mother. Maybe that's your thing? For my sister...she doesn't date losers.
Jim doesn't seem to have the time to do anything besides flirt with Janet
Po face trying to be Vera not happening only one Vera Bennett
Vera Bennett was nice to Lizzie.
Or as nice you can get for Vera.
Love Lizzie telling Gordon to Bugger Off ! xx
Lmao Sandy, well, well little Dora..
Did rewind it a few times like them times before. Pmsl.
Po Face is rotten. Lizzie deserved to live her twilight years in peace. Sid knew what a bastard his son was.
22:45. How professional of Mr. Fletcher!!
Janet Conway thinking it was Jackie O who said 'you can never be too rich or too thin'! It was the Duchess of Windsor
i recon the Duchess of Windsor would have been top dog in Wentworth
haha not tonight Jim " I'm washing may hair"
Judy as top dog haha!
@ 7:17 - Sandy is saying exactly what I would want to say to Meg, whose character does become quite tiring at times.
Lizzie change your locks, and your phone number!!! Then get a German Shepherd.!!! Train him to sic balls!!!
I could swear I could hear Jim's mustache rustle against Janet's lip when he kissed her in the gov's office - yuck
😂😂😂

Julie Bailey Because they don't want life in Wentworth

As if a prisoner would be sat in a prison library with a telephone on her desk lol
I noticed it too. She could listen in on internal conversations or call her old mate Val and threaten her. Lol.
Now Bea isn't around Doreen isn't looking so tough :)
Why is that war film always on the TV ??? really really weird a dive-bombing plane!!!!
I remember Bea making a comment one episode saying "ah! This was only on last week" when they sat in front of the tele. Lol.
Wow Jackie Onasis gets a mention!!
So where did Mouse get to again? She just disappears and re-appears like Houdini!

fletch's face 9min 40 loll
Shouldn't be smoking while preg Sandy.
It calms her nerves
Louise was pregnant in real life - but maybe she didn't know it at the time . not that there's ever an excuse to smoke anywhere ever ;)

Leave Lizzie Alone!!!!!!

Probably read about her in the Verity.

How a skinny bird can rough up Doreen like that I don’t know,,,all she would have to do is sit on her.
Where is Erica!?!?!?!?!
Sandy is annoying. And, while Fletcher is doing a decent job as acting governor, he ain't no Erica Davidson. I want her BAAAAACK!
Yyyeeesssssss!!!! And so do I!!!! Hope she isn't leaving!
Doreen hazel and Judy aka the 3 stooges lol
time hazel got it to ughhh sorry got my hair off wiv a few in watching sandy got doreen rite to
I would like for Fletch to remain Governor
Unlike Davidson who sits on her butt all day drinking tea. Fletcher knows what's going on in the prison.
Doreen recovered quick, it can't have been much of a punch.
I like Sandy because she has balls and confidence.
Shit for brains.
Bea's headaches are becoming the real headache in the show...pass on it.
Bea thrives doing these serious stories
Not sure that attacking a convicted murderess who looks exactly like a pantomime villian was the brightest thing to do in the situation. We all know that Doreen actually IS that thick. But Judy and Hazel? I'm not so sure.
Would have been brilliant if those three attempted to mess with the later version of Kate Peterson
I think Bea just needs some glasses.
bea is sick which only sandie and that doctor woman can see thats why sandie is taking over and its sids lad thats doing that to lizzie
I'm sorry but our girls have fallen pretty low, especially Judy. ik Doreen was weak by herself, but dang, I thought she could get down cuz she bashed a few ppl (Sharon G. I think, I forgot)
