"Do people ever look through you? They do when you're old. Maybe it's because they can't face the fact that that's what they'll become, so it's best to ignore you." Wow... That's darn powerful stuff to drop right in the middle of the episode.
They look through you because they realize if THEY keep living THEY WILL get there😅
Shiver!!!!
Some superb acting from Sheila Florance in this episode. From the cackling laughter, the heartfelt pleading, the conspiratorial twinkling, to the gentle sobbing in the last scene, she really was a talent.
CornishMiner truly one of a kind! Sheila was the best!
this scene from 31:08 it's an oscar one from Sheila. I think they had problem to stop laughing. One of my favourite! I can't stop laugh!
@@Krzyszmierski agreed !
Lizzie: I could cry rape.
She was in another league to most of the actors in the show.
Lizzie had me in tears! Please,take care of the elderly! Why? We will all get old & or we die young! Be kind every minute,for time does run out for all of us!
This is one of my favorite episodes of "Prisoner". The Edith Wharton storyline was very emotionally touching. Writer/Denise Morgan did herself proud when she wrote this script. The relationship and friendship between good ole Lizzie & Edith was priceless....It also seemed to have brought out the good hearted and caring aspects of not only Mr. Fletcher but Ms. Bennett towards the end. Colleen Clifford actress/Edith Wharton Nov 17th 1898/April 7th 1996 (aged 97) R.I.P. Colleen .
By far the saddest episode; Lizzy made me cry!!!😭😭😭 And, Vera finally showed some compassion!!!💔
Lizzie is great😓
Vera occasionally showed a bit of a soft spot for Lizzie. I think you can see in Vera's expression when Lizzie is talking about being alone that Vera worries that in the end she will end up just the same herself.
me too, I knew she was gonna pass from the way she said goodnight to lizzie😭
When Sheila did a interview once she said she was really upset when Vera left
That Edie storyline is further proof why PCBH is the greatest TV series ever made.
Wow Prisoner you knew how to bring on the waterworks! That last scene really made me tear up.
Ditto
@@laurenbrooks3091 Me too
Damn... Edie & Lizzie got me bawling and Jim & Vera were human for a change...
Edie and Lizzie still poignant as ever. Again struck by Edie's medicine having Ammonia as a main ingredient; the way she was knocking it back I think implication is she had too much - wonder if it was intentional. The shot of the bottle and Meg's Arsenic and Old Lace line seems to foreshadow. Vera showing Lizzie kindness still a nice change. Too bad it doesn't last. Lizzie has the dirtiest laugh and cough -- could be nearly keeling over from that nasty cough but lights up anyway. At least she has a happy ending. That final scene - the late Sheila Florance was an amazing actress.
NativeMoon right!? I sobbed the first time I watch this one...didn't cry this time but it certainly tugged at my heart strings again!
Right?!
So sad Edith.
you know they should lock up all the elderly people in prisons (3 meals, clean bed, guards that actually watch them, on site doctor) and put all the Criminals in a nursing home (2 cold meals, cappy beds, nurses that only check their pluse, pay 3500.00 a month)
Amen.....
This version of Wentworth is like a nursing home
Just showed what a good guy Jim was when he paid for Edith's funeral
Well he can be but not always. He does get better as the show goes on.
... Edie finally at peace with her Horrie
I 1st saw this episode way back in 1980 on WGN. Was so sad I cried myself to sleep that night. 33 years later Im crying again. Still, this was one of the best PCBHs Ive seen so far.
I also watched this from the start (1979 I think) and still cry after a number of viewings.
😢😢 aw I just absolutely love Lizzie. Poor Edith, I liked her character she has some pretty wise words.
Edith actress will be back later in the episodes with the biker gang
7:12 "I could cry rape" 😂😂😂 I love Lizzy so much
The look Bea gave Lizzie after she said that was priceless😂
this episode really ahows how great sheila florence is. Usually she is sort of the comic character cracking jokes and laughing and getting into scrapes but in this episode she really excelled herself.
"I could yell 'rape'! " - My God, gotta love Lizzie.
I choked!
The look Bea gave Lizzie after she said that was priceless😂
Lizzie broke my heart.... hell even Vera softened up at the end with Lizzie lol. Hate to see Edith go... Lizzie is usually funny so its easy to miss what a great actress she was. Wonder if she did any movies or tv shows in her younger day.
Teresa Dewey I believe she did I've seen her in some can't remember what tho loved lizzie bea and the rest
She played the grandmother in Mad Max.
She had a long successful stage career..... Shakespeare even.... Very classy lady
She's in the Lucky Lips episode of Round The Twist.
Love Edie and Lizzie. Love the story line between those two, stinks that is was short.
R.I.P Eadith
And sorry Lizzie
Sheila Florance , Patsy King and Fiona Spence were undoubtedly the best actresses in the first half of this show (first 3-400 episodes) then the cat Lizzie accidentally killed was fourth followed by Twiki aka Mrs. Legohead.
the end scene was crucial because vera could relate to lizzie, she knew she would likely be in the exact same place as lizzie in years to come[old and all alone with no family] and that scared her. It was 1 of the most memorable scenes in prisoner.
One of the best episodes Sheila Florence was brilliant and Vera and Jim
Sometimes the scriptwriters could come out with some wretched crap, but other times they were spot on perfect. Magnificent final scene.
Denise Morgan was a brilliant writer--her scripts were always spot-on.
Fiona Spencer spoke those words at the end, through Vera....I was also expecting her to rip the crap out of Lizzie...so good to see Vera in touch with her own humanity just for a few minutes at least. :)
the ep was brillant as it showed big insight into lizzies character and veras.At the end we see vera about to crack and we see her humanity shine through,she knew what happened to edie and lizzie being old and lonely would eventually happen to her.Vera is a very tragic character,beneath the veneer she put up of cold and hard she's really very lonely and sad.
Oh my I am starting to tear up with the Lizzie and Edith story
Edie had some great words of wisdom
Aw, shame.I liked Edie.
It's Jim slumped against the wall that I remembered from my first time through the series.
And Vera letting her mask slip, if only for a moment.
Ohhhhh!!! I’m wailing at the final scene. The tears are streaming!! Poor Lizzie xxxx
26/1/19 - 31:30 - Lizzie’s laugh, is one of the best scenes in Prisoner! When I watch it, I always repeat it several times!! 😊
Yes! I’m dead 🤣🤣
Lizzie at 7:18🙂
the last ten mins really broke my heart, its silly i know but we all know an edde in life, superb acting and storyline. watching pcbh has helped my depression in my life. its like my friend to watch. a very UNDERRATED SERIES INDEED. 😥😥😥😥😥😥
I think it's helped my depression too! There's something about this show 😊
That was a very touching episode! Poor Edie-she was so sweet as is Lizzie!
42:04 Undoubtedly one of the most powerfully moving and devastating scenes in the history of television!
The pure and unadulterated love that Lizzie showed lovely Edith throughout her stay was a revelation to me and upon realising that her dear friend has passed finished a 6'4", 16 stone bloke off!
Wonderful acting and a super partnership between these two ladies.
You'll be hard pushed to see anything again that has as much raw power.
....Hell, even vinegar tits, however fleetingly, showed a modicum of humanity for a few moments. I strongly believe that deep down, Vera always had a soft spot for Lizzie and was herself a victim of her own life and when you consider her tumultuous relationship with her own mother and her hapless attempts at finding love herself, Vera was herself a vulnerable and tortured soul. In these regards, the level of loss, although in different respects made Lizzie and Vera not that different after all.
Lizzie's longing to be a mother to her long lost children and the sense of loss and sadness that this evoked showed on occasion during a few tender and beautiful scenes with Doreen. Doreen, the woman child who longed to be loved and Lizzie, the old bird that in turn, longed to love.
And the zoom away at the end showing poor Lizzie.......no words 😭😭😭.
@ Christopher Rowan: Beautifully put, Christopher.
Poor Lizzie. Bless Edie. So, it seems that Vera and Fletch do have hearts, and not swinging bricks or frozen petite pois.
colleen clifford was a very multitalented entertainer from stage movies classical pianist etc read her bio she quite a remarkable woman
Brilliant acting from Fiona and Sheila.
Poor Edith, it was nice of Jim to give her a proper funeral.
No matter how many times I’ve seen this episode it always gets me.
😭Edie's story reminds me of Brookes Hatlen in 'The Shawshank Redemption'
God I love them 2 old birds 😂😂😟. “Up my knickers”. F**kin killed me 😂😂
Fletcher has a heart.
I am absolutely astounded at how some of the nice characters (Meg) talk to Edith, she isn't an imbecile just because she is elderly.
Some people seem to think that the older you get, the speed with which you can listen slows down. There's heaps of elderly people out there who must be thinking "hurry up and get to the bloody point".
Now that I'm elderly I understand the feeling.
Lizzies words apply on me... And the cancer gets me inch by inch...
Great episode. Highly emotional. RIP Edith.
41:33 - you can see Edith’s chest breathing as lying on the bed. Poor Edith 👵🏼.
😲Vera actually shows some human compassion🥰 - that’s gotta be the 1st.😉 touching scene.
@ 39:13
This is truly one of the sweetest scenes in the entire series, ending with a kiss goodnight and unknowingly goodbye.
And here comes the waterworks.
Aww poor wee Edith, and Lizzie and Jim were so sad 😭
Ugh wee Edith, she's lovely.
Damn it Lizzie- you had me bawling again! 😭💔
Lizzie and Vera-----------sooking my eyes out.
Edie was sooooo cute !!
Sheila Florence showed all her class and talent as a performer in this episode, no wonder she was so widely admired by her colleagues....
so vera has got a heart then.....
am i the only person that cried in this episode?
God no! You'd have to be made of stone.
Nope.
Lizzie's laugh 😂
hard to forget
This episode was one of the saddest things I've ever seen on a TV show I've never in a million years watched something on TV that has made me cry. And when I watched this broke my heart nearly I actually showed a human side to me 😢😢😢😢
Especially thought provoking episode. Loneliness hurts like hell. Not having ever been in relationship has given me a taste of that. At least I can spare my parents what Edith went through. I'll likely die alone.
Ooft. The occassional glimpse of humanity are what makes vera a much more rounded character than the freak...
Joan had a soft spot for children and animals. But she was a jinx to anyone she cared about, with or without fur.
Amazing Acting. Love this show still watch the episodes today
I'm not crying, you are! 😢
*Mrs. Davidson:* "Routine leads to boredom and that's when the trouble starts."
True.
Sheila Florance is a great actress.
This show wouldn't have been half as good without Lizzie. What an absolute legend. ❤
31:33 too funny! Lizzie cracks me up with her cackle 😂
Vera Bennett got good kind of heart ❤ so sweet with lizzy probably knows she be like that one day very touching
I'm bawling, we'll miss you edie!
beautifull acting in the last very emotional scene we see another side to Vera her compassionate one . she was really kind to Lizzie . Vera had a soft spot for her . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it .
I tried Yorkshire pudding in Cornwall. Delicious. Is it alright that I didn't have it in Yorkshire?
@10:08 LOL old-school Australian dial tones sound like farts.
Quite heartbreaking, Fletch with Edith
that flyaway hair on Vera is driving me nuts.. frizz
Jeremy Doe give vera a break for christ sake
I was too involved with the story to notice any flyaway hair on anyone.
😢😢😢 How sad that was! I did remember that Edith passed away, but didn’t remember how sad it was! Poor Lizzie , even saw a softer side to Vera at the end there. And bless Mr Fletcher He’s going to give Edith a decent funeral . ……That Carol certainly got revenge on her cheating husband and student lover didn’t she!! Good on her too
Eidith and lizzy what a lovely friendship :(
This ep made me cry! Vera has got a heart! ;-(
They don't make soaps like these any more the old 1s are the best.
I really feel for Lizzie losing Edith. But I did find the Edith story annoying at first. That Melinda Cross needs a good slap!
That's because she know's what it's like to be lonely
Beautifully tender ending there, a touching last sentence from Fiona Spence as (generally nasty bitch at times, mainly cold and hard at others) to Lizzie that she wouldn't be alone. Very nice surprise as I thought she'd go in there to lay the law about "flouting rules" but glad she realised that the situation so not called for it in the end.
Kyach Distent Vera may be a bitch at times but Fiona sure is not
Edie sounds like she's got consumption too. TB, Tuberculosis.That had to be one of the saddest endings I ever saw. 😭 Shelia Florance wad one of the most beloved actors on here. I believe at the time this was on, she was raising her grandson along with her husband.
Love Lizzie laugh how sad Edith diyin like that.
Lizzie made me cry 😢 when her friend Edith passed away such a sad ending 😢😢😢
We saw plenty of glimpses of humanity with the Freak.
All the dramatic music for the cheating professor and his wife. Two characters no one cares about or what's to see.
At least Lizzie got a happy ending eventually
Used to watch this every Thursday night at 11.05 in UK I used to put a Pizza on glass of juice & get stoned out my tree & enjoy watching this such a great program for it's time I love watching Australian TV the best 💯👍
at least she's reunited with horrie now😢❤️
This one had me in tears.
Dr - "its not the whole prison, there are only 7 or so who are interested."
That IS the whole prison
Lizzie could crawl into the medicine cabinet and the doctor would not take a notice..
15:29 Breaks Third wall and looks into camera, seems deliberate!
I thought this episode had good dialog, too. (One example: Lizzie saying that whenever you want out, they make you stay, whenever you want in, they make you leave. Lots of other good lines as well.)
So sad and probably more common than any of us would like to admit.
such a sad moment , poor lizzy.
That social workers quite fit
CPR should have also been taught 😮
😂 @ ''I could yell rape'', hahaha. 31:38 had me roaring just like the first time I saw it. As that bit came up I knew that Lizzie laugh was on its way as I remembered that bit so well, hehe. On the other hand 45:23 was very sad, and I relate.
8th December 2024.
on my second watch of these and second time in sad here sobbing. So sad
Sorry about that, stupid predictive text.
Methinks you are teasing me Jack, its still a sad episode and very touching
Naughty boy Mr Tom Cat.
OMG how sad was that episode :(
You can have a prison inside of you 😢
Can't believe how true that is!
It's called marriage
@31:44 One of Lizzie's best cackles!
@35:06 such a lady! gotta love Lizzie lol
