+PrisonerCellBlockH95 I'm still so grateful to you for uploading these! on such a long-running series, there are bound to be uneven moments, characters some people don't like and so on - but on the whole, I can't think of any other series anywhere that I've appreciated so much!
I watched bits and pieces of this show from its beginning in the mid 70's. As a 10 or 11 year old staying up till 10:00 . It is nice to be able to see it as an adult now 57. In its entierty. I never forgot the scene where Qween Bea burned Lynns ( Wonkey Warrener) hand in the press.
Mid 70's? I'm not sure how you managed to watch this years before it was made.. The first series was filmed and aired in 1979. True about Queen Bea and Wonky Warner though, unforgettable scene.
PrisonerCellBlockH95: You are a star! This is the second time I’m watching this wonderful drama series, and that wouldn’t be done without you. Big thank’s! Must say that theese episodes are quite good. I do think the complexity in Maxwells character makes her a bit more belivable than always though Lou Kelly.
Yea but when a mother has lost its cub to those who don't understand....you're going to fight for the truth and compassion...yet, she is going around the wrong way about it.
@@karennicholls2296 she also played Mrs Dodds (The lady who took over running the Half-way House from Judy). So the burns cleared up even quicker before being Mrs Dodds🤗🤣
9:28. Serious cases? Just a headache? Rodney obviously doesn't suffer from headaches. the odd one is bad enough but try getting Migraines every day for 17 years.
So instead of the helicopter dropping Joan off at the hospital or at the very least home it's straight to work as she's apparently super human. So unrealistic.
They toned down the show and her , she was a sexual predator and a sadist when she first came in . Bea Smith and Joan were the best rivals on the show.
Okay Jenny, you need to go find your mum. She took a world tour a few years ago, maybe she moved to Sydney. She'll be surprised that you rose like the Phoenix back to life. There used to be a character on a soap opera here named Stefano Demera. He died and came back over and over.
Maxwell has managed in such a short time to make me hate her as much (maybe more) as I did Kelly. That's pretty impressive. I still think there's going to be a turnaround though and I know I could find out but I'm just gonna wait.
@@lamontbradford4630 I don't find Barbie or Angela that annoying but only because we're not stuck with them for long. 100+ episodes of Pixie Lexi and Doreen is a nightmare. God forbid if Jenny or Danielle were main characters.
Makes me laugh the way they call Rita Top Dog as if it's her name....Top Dog will sort you out, what will we do Top Dog, how's the weather Top Dog lolol makes Rita sound like Top Cat
***** I know what you mean. Maggie K's performance was brilliant until the end but my god they milked the character Ferguson to the point that it DID become tedious and repetitive.
jiggarypokery Maggie K gave so much. She gave far more as Joan than the likes of Meg. And yes she was well past her best hear Prisoner is suffering because of its reliance on her😯
Maggie admitted that she was getting weary of playing the freak at this point. Understandable tho, playing a character like that for so long would be draining for any actor.
Agree 100% She was scarier in the old Grey Uniform and the longer hair pulled back. Towards the end of the series she was more like a pantomime villain.
Whose idea was it to make Lexi look like Pipi long stockings??? PCBH re-cycles hair styles as well...Doreen. It's had to miss they have a formula, always have a character who is : a loud one, a whinny one, a stupid one, a slow one, a wise cracking one, a beater and a goody two shoes.
Yes you're right. That was Jenny Powell. I remember seeing the man that played Bea Smith's dead husband Jack/ Harry,at least six times throughout the series.
I noticed Rodney Adams had 2pips on his shoulder when he was in the corridor with Stout and Jackson. Then when they take Vicky to the staffroom. He was back to a trainee officer... Emmmm what a fuck up!
When they went out of lexis cell and the wanna be top dog was saying your either with me or against me there's no other way it was like Anakin when Obe wan replys "Only the sith deal in absolutes" Rita is definitely Jedi lol
There's something that nobody else has remarked on & it puzzles me.. When Joan's house burned down, they said she was homeless & had no savings so they wanted to use that as an excuse to get her to do the drugs business, Surely with a regular job & all the money she fleeced from the prisoners, she'd have had a bank account. So how could she have been penniless?
Margaret Glynn I wondered the same thing, not to mention the 12 grand she got for sabotaging Chook's parole.You are not the only one, how many people noticed Po Face's daughter? I also wonder why Meg and Renno didn't question Joan in-depth about the burned house.
Probably about like Katherine Kelly Lange from B & B done on your I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. They voted her out in the first episode didn't they?
And the scrag Maxwell who had to buy people off and would get the shit kicked out of her by even Julie if she didn't use Merle, is that your idea of real leadership? Rita was a true leader. She didn't need a gang of fatties to back her up
Mcpherson hit Lori as hard as she could in the lower spine with a dumb bell, she'd be virtually paralysed from that first shot! quite a violent scene. 27mins
maybe peter is a basher like his father was? or feeling guilty letting his mother take the rap? obviously neither lexie or rhe director have ever been pregnant to exercise like this or to behave so irresponsibly lol
She could have broken Lori's spine! 27:37. Screwed her back for life, But through the magic of Grundy's she sitting down to lunch or was it breakfast? It sort of looks like Kellogg's Corn Pops cereal. Do they have this in Australia?
Kath is such a coward -- a Top Dog who can't even do her own bashing. And what she's doing is 100x worse than anything that was done to her. But god love Rita at the end of this episode!!! Glad that Delia & Marty are posted to Wentworth. We're probably stuck with snivelling suck-up Rodney too. Glad that Lorelei gave as good as she got with the Judo.
Funny isn't it, how women SHAPE things? I mean, women in this show--like Ann and Meg--are shaping the future of the Prison service by promoting the fat chick and Meg's son over Rodney Adams. Rodney did not start out slimy, he had to change because he saw the way Ann was favoring the other two, and for no reason. His seeking a secure spot in the service was threatened if he did not do something. In normal society we see through out history that the actions of women (sexual selection, and favoritism) have forced changes on everyone else.
5 episodes of Lexie left! Get your champagne on ice fellow PCBH fans!
Can't stand her
Thank fuck
Shouldn't give away storyline.
oh THANK FK🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not one for spoilers but, this is great news!
Joan getting dropped straight off at work after being lost in the bush,,, lol,,, shes a machine!
She's an idiot. Who in their right mind wouldn't want a shower and change of clothes?
I thought the same but when the Jaws music starts u knew the shark was gonna appear
The helicopter noise was Joans danger music😂
Unrealistic
Lmao!
Joan hates being away from work 😂😂
Kath cares about Merle so much yet she wrecks her party.
Yes, but Kath's a psycho!

pandoraamos1 How very well said, thanks. I agree.
Same here.
Yessss!!! Thank you...
I worry these episodes will be taken down before I finish watching it. That would be horrible.
Keep it on here forever please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1978 i think when they first started, as that was the year I was born. I could be wrong it probably was 1979 sorry I’m I’m incorrect xxx
I laugh whenever Lexi preaches about hating cheats and laggers when she's done both.
Exactly 2 faced
coming back to this series ... years later. still love it as much as i did the first time! 🧡
If there's one thing that Kath hates, it's when people underestimate her. "Don't underestimate me," she says.
I know. I'd like to see her one on one with no back up and see how far she got.
mr adams should have been on the tug boat episodes and pushed over board. every time he speaks is like listening to an intolerable child. so ner!
The Stout actress is like a teenager in a school play.
Nancy & Officer Powell both to be grandparents 🎉
YEAHHHHHHH!! SO glad Rita got hold of Kath's plait and wrapped it round her neck!! It's about time somebody did that!! I LOVE RITA!!
Yeah. I'd kill the bitch. I don't care what happened to her in her past, it wasn't everyone else's fault.
Should've cut off the plait.
I've not been able to take her seriously since Merle slapped her and she cried into her pillow
Rita lump wood kath is best 👌
Joan sorted connors out

Must say that theese episodes are quite good. I do think the complexity in Maxwells character makes her a bit more belivable than always though Lou Kelly.
Oh Kath.....youre hardly Nola McKenzie or Sonia Stevens when it comes to being scary hahahaha
I loved Nola. I wish she lasted longer. Also that crazy serial killer lady.
Bev baker
Yea but when a mother has lost its cub to those who don't understand....you're going to fight for the truth and compassion...yet, she is going around the wrong way about it.
She can hit them with her hair.
I read that Bev Baker was supposed to be there for longer but they got too many complaints from the public. She freaked everyone out.
Joan Ferguson must be one tough cookie with the amount of strife she's been through. No wonder she's such a witch.
Production year of MCMLXXXIV (1984). They sure made a lot of episodes in 1984..😅
I'm sure the actress playing Nancy's daughter in law is the same actress who played Colleen Powell's daughter
It is 👍
I've seen at least 6 repeat characters kinda pathetic
@@shereeseeley4174 ONLY 6🤣
@@fabpcbhfan9592 How about Nancy as the crazy herbalist who ended up with burns all over her face? They seem to have cleared up nicely for her.
@@karennicholls2296 she also played Mrs Dodds (The lady who took over running the Half-way House from Judy). So the burns cleared up even quicker before being Mrs Dodds🤗🤣
Question: Is Nancy's daughter-in-law, "Danielle", the actress formally known as Collen Powell's daughter "Jenny"?
They have 3 trainees but are still using the short staffed excuse
What are you bloody talking about. They've been short staffed since Wentworth opened.
@@Laladust😂😂😂
Lorelei just got bashed by 4 of Kath's gang; yet she looks like there isn't a hair out of place.
Lexi claiming she would be able to stop Kath and her gang if she wasn't pregnant lol. What makes her think she's rock hard because she really isn't.
Wow, wow, wow!! The tension is the best in ages! Love the end bit with the hair ^^ it was like something out of Alien.
9:28. Serious cases? Just a headache? Rodney obviously doesn't suffer from headaches. the odd one is bad enough but try getting Migraines every day for 17 years.
@41:44 That famous Platt Stranglehold by Rita, Kath Maxwell Not Cinderella But Rapunzel.lol.😅
Mrs. Powell's daughter back from the dead. Same as Jim Fletchers wife, who played Julie Egberts, husbands mother.
So instead of the helicopter dropping Joan off at the hospital or at the very least home it's straight to work as she's apparently super human. So unrealistic.
Well, she must do one of her famous "reports" immediately.
It's funny though 😂 she's a machine
I almost miss Lou Kelly anyone else struggling not to fast forward these parts?
Fuck that Lou Kelly wimp.
She got bashed all the time.
@Jamie - True. That was her best quality. Perseverance.
Danielle is miss Powell daughter but she’s come back from the dead I love how they reuse actors 😂🇬🇧
Anyone else think the freaks not as scary as she was when she was first here
They toned down the show and her , she was a sexual predator and a sadist when she first came in . Bea Smith and Joan were the best rivals on the show.
Wow, GREAT last image!!

What's with Lexi and the new toddler look? Pig tails and overalls, now that she is gonna have a baby, she wants to dress like one?
Petty
Yes! Go Rita.... Kath don’t stand a chance!!!!!
Whenever I see those Salmon coloured prison shirts I'm reminded of the "Barnhurst 5" era and that "Council" thing they had going on.
Lol at Rita grabbing Kath's Platt
Kath Maxwell's huge pony tail was just begging to be used as a noose, just like what Rita just did to her!
Lexi as a mother. That baby wouldn't have a chance
Maxwell has managed in such a short time to make me hate her as much (maybe more) as I did Kelly. That's pretty impressive. I still think there's going to be a turnaround though and I know I could find out but I'm just gonna wait.
Maxwell REALLY needs a good old fashioned beat down, and I mean broken and bloody.
Never said they did; some people love her, some people hate her, some people are in the middle
Joan saying
"I'm the bunny"😂😂😂😂
Never before have i watched past the Bea Smith (Queen Bea) years. I felt like a traitor, but to be honest the show lost its edge!
Which is why it wasn't renewed for another year. It was good, but it ran it's course and came to an end.
That’s funny because I refused to Continue watching the new Wentworth after Bea left as well. I took it so personal. Lol
me too!!!! and i agree,but its still head and shoulders above the trash they dole out today.
@@Halfscotboy_39 lol tickets much
@@Halfscotboy_39 Val really needs to get over herself it makes me somewhat dislike the character knowing she's an arse in real life
Marty and Delian - joint at the hip
I can't be doing with the actress who played Colleens daughters voice a second time around! It's worse than bloody Pixies.
What if Jenny/Danelle, Doreen, Maxine, Pixie Mason, Angela Adams,and Barbie Cox throw in loud mouth Lexie in jail at the same time UGH!
@@lamontbradford4630 I don't find Barbie or Angela that annoying but only because we're not stuck with them for long. 100+ episodes of Pixie Lexi and Doreen is a nightmare. God forbid if Jenny or Danielle were main characters.

Rodney is a dickhead. He speaks like he's from a different era.
Lorelei brought in a small case, where did all her clothes come from ? I love her clothes, she’s so pretty !
Everyone only seems to bring in 1 bag but have heaps of clothes.
Roach had awesome clothes as well.
Visitors bring them in?
Makes me laugh the way they call Rita Top Dog as if it's her name....Top Dog will sort you out, what will we do Top Dog, how's the weather Top Dog lolol makes Rita sound like Top Cat
Why if it isn't Officer Funguson!
OOOOH LOVED that last scene 😊
lol at lexis hair in this one
Especially when she's chanting at the gate😂
One of the best endings ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kath's been a mild mannered housewife all of her life and now she can fight? Not bloody likely.
I'm sorry I spoke, Governor. Joan's constant sniping is becoming tedious even to me Guv.
***** I know what you mean. Maggie K's performance was brilliant until the end but my god they milked the character Ferguson to the point that it DID become tedious and repetitive.
Agreed. Brilliant acting, wasn't actresses' fault of course. Wonder if the writers were doing a bit of imbibing whilst in production?!?

Why is the camera focus on Delia's eating?.
I know. She never stops.

5 more episodes to go, and the agony is over. :-)
Nathan Davis yessss finally 🤗

One of the disadvantages of having long hair. Go Rita!!!!
Lexi you couldn't take on Kath. You struggled to beat up a 15 year old.
Meg has gotten a hard attitude toward the women, even when they are innocent or not the cause of the problem.
For someone who is just about to have a baby Lexie is pretty agile.
Rita Rita Rita Rita Rita
Go Rita!!
I love this Rita♥️
prob the roughest beating ive seen say good bye the being able to walk Lorelei!
I don't like Maxwell as a top dog...Rita the beater is much better. And Peter's wife HAS TO be Po Face's daughter from past episodes?!!
11:10 the reason I liked Rita the best! She oozes real toughness and leadership.
leadership ...only because they were avoiding getting pounded lol
And the scrag Maxwell who had to buy people off and would get the shit kicked out of her by even Julie if she didn't use Merle, is that your idea of real leadership? Rita was a true leader. She didn't need a gang of fatties to back her up
lin reynolds that's all Bea or Myra did...
Rita no top dog
im disgusted that kids have to witness abuse, because sometimes they become an abuser thats all they know. unless they are taught better.
I hate how indignant the Freak gets when she’s as crooked as the day is long.

Glad that Delia & Marty are posted to Wentworth. We're probably stuck with snivelling suck-up Rodney too. Glad that Lorelei gave as good as she got with the Judo.
