+Carlene Boulden It goes crap after 400. the Maira Desmond era was quiet good but has a very tragic end. Bea & Maira where fantastic caring top dogs. Douglas is going down the road too become Harold.
Bea just knows what she’s doing I like she’s got consideration for other people as well she just tells it how it is and that face down between Douglas and Bea Bea is very intelligent and outsmarted him i’m glad that she is standing up for her rights and putting that Douglas in his place.
The actor, Will Demuer, who played Lionel Fellowes, amongst other roles, is a guest over on Talking Prisoner - and from this cast, there's also podcasts with Roslyn Gentle (Brandy), Maggie K, Val, Reylene Pearce (Phyllis), Lisa Crittenden (Maxie), and loads more. They're all excellent to listen to if for all the behind the scenes drama.
It's amazing how they manage to find the exact same policewoman to guard prisoners in jail or court every time. She must be one of the longest serving extras on the show.
My grandfather was a police officer in Melbourne and was part of a team who arrested Squizzy Taylor and members of his gang, or so the family legend goes.
Pahahaha! When Pixie hacks her head off after pretending to have fainted. Lizzie saying Ted's number out loud in front of the governor and walking away repeating it. LMAO. *:''D*
Good face off between Bea and Douglas there...After almost 9 months of pregnancy Roxanne gets one visit and suddenly changes track, twice! The storyline not only addresses but epitomises the fact that for as long as people are emotionally based, surrogacy is largely unworkable...Pixie has brightened Wentworth up a bit.
Good on Paul for standing his ground over the photo. Bea should try and squeeze everything she can out of Douglas while she has the ace in hand. He has put them through enough over the years after all so whatever they get will be owed. Knowing him though, he will probably worm his way out of it because sneaky scum like that often do.
Carlene Boulden Damn right! For me,......that's my "nickname" for him --- because of his lowlife and cowardly ways ..... Dickless... he is ....and Dickless..... he will remain! Yep.....Dickless Douglas! LOL
When I was a kid there used to be a song on the radio about a sailor who loved a woman named Brandy. " The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my love, my life, and my lady; is the sea."
14:15 You can tell Ted Douglas isn't used to being told "No", can't you? Especially by some freckly-faced young upstart! 19:34 Lizzie can be heard muttering the number she's memorizing. Real smooth!
'Head in the clouds' Pixie is annoying the hell out of me already, oblivious to the rules, thinking they are silly... Was this to try and inject some humour into the show? Because it just doesn't work for me, can't believe we have to endure her for many episodes to come.
Maybe when Ted refers to "The Department" he means Fellowes and his crew. Lol. Why wouldn't Mrs Reynolds just submit the photos to the police and the department?
Laughing about Maxine's comment about Ted Douglas being one of Pixie's husbands. Seeing as he plays her father in a later episode (and also the most silly casting)
Laura / Brandy / Susan - 3 Faces of Eve indeed. Douglas is a slimy worm & no doubt Bea will end up paying for Blackmailing him. Good on Paul for standing up to him; will be interesting to see how that pans out. Pixie is too annoying to be comic relief. Wally & Reyno - hookup on the horizon?
@@NativeMoon I've seen the statistics and most people in most English-speaking countries had sensible names like Richard, John, William, Helen, Elizabeth, etc. That was true until the 1990s.
Pixie is an annoying character, they didn't need her on the show. I can't believe that they got rid of so many good characters for characters like Pixie. Her voice is high pitch, she isn't funny and the actress is over playing the part. She's giving me a real headache. I will skip over her parts as well.
Judy McBurney's arrival in Prisoner signals the start of the influx of actors and actresses from The Young Doctors. It had been cancelled at the end of 1982, and Judy immediately transferred over to Prisoner... Babs McMillan, Totti Goldsmith, Julie Nihill, and Peter Bensley all follow in the coming episodes, along with Young Doctors' final producer, Sue Masters, who takes over from John McRae.
Do u mean the doctor at roughly 6mins? Sounds more like a barnsley accent megs future boyfriend dennis cranksure is supposedly from Barnsley and he has the same accent
I do love the probably unintentionally ironic comment from Lizzie to Pixie. "They wouldn't believe you were off your rocker..?" The irony being that Pixie is absolutely off her rocker. Just that it isn't 'temporary insanity' as she was trying to con them into believing. It's a full on whacko 'belongs in a nut house to protect her and society from herself,' level of permanent insanity.
Douglas now has a kink in the armor. Such a pompous should had.Two very good governors and he tried to control them.What a shithead.It's going to be pretty interesting to see what happens there.
You mean McKenzie? McNally was in the first season. Carole Skinner was offered an ongoing contract with Prisoner, but she decided to leave "on a high", and what an ending Nola got !
How dare Ted demand those negatives he has been caught and his behaviour makes him look more guilty then the actual picture if he had just shrugged it off no one wud of bothered but his reaction screams of guilt!!!! Sneeky Ted Douglas!!!!! 🤣
Awww they gave Pixie FIVE YEARS !!?? For bigamy!?! We just witnessed a muslim braking the nose of a female police officer in England and he hasn’t been charged with anything Progress is great isn’t it?
That's not that guy's baby. It's that man's that's paying you all that money, you signed a contract. But three years later there was a famous trial here in America. It was called the Baby M trial.
My, how bigamy laws have changed since the 80's. Muslim men can have many children with multiple wives and get rewarded for it by Cenrelink. I say bring back the 80's.
Only 20 episodes now until Bea leaves. Pcbh will never be the same again!! :(
Prisoner without Beaster is like Blackpool without rubber willy's 😙
Carlene Boulden But The Freak will keep the rythm going at Wentworth :)
+Carlene Boulden It goes crap after 400. the Maira Desmond era was quiet good but has a very tragic end. Bea & Maira where fantastic caring top dogs. Douglas is going down the road too become Harold.
@@johnw2328 Those really were the days! Sorry, I was born and bred there 😀
Awe thanks for the spoiler
Just love it when Bea tells Ted Douglas he is a jumped up little clerk. LOL
he is also pixi's father
LOL! Only Bea Smith would have the power to make Ted Douglas tremble in his boots!
True
Douglas's reaction to the photo of him with Fellowes is obvious that he is guilty of a wrongdoing that could at least cost him his job.
LOL! @ Meg being accused of trying to undress Pixie when Ferguson drops in... Meg's a nun! 😆🤣
I never noticed before (when shown on TV) how much Pixie reminds me of Goldie Hawn at that age 😊
Bea just knows what she’s doing I like she’s got consideration for other people as well she just tells it how it is and that face down between Douglas and Bea
Bea is very intelligent and outsmarted him i’m glad that she is standing up for her rights and putting that Douglas in his place.
The way Douglas says "Dont you blackmail me", he sounds like he giggled a bit when he said it 😂😂

30 years ago I was in care and the staff used to let me stay up late to watch PCBH.
Watching back with Nostalgia, happy days.
hope your doing ok now?
@@rosiew1952 Doing great thank you! I'm a Gran now to 4 wonderful children. Thanks so much for asking x
love how bea's got douglas pinched between her thumb and index finger !!
@ 12:47 Pixie: “I’ve not been feeling very well lately. I hear voices.” LOL
It's amazing how they manage to find the exact same policewoman to guard prisoners in jail or court every time. She must be one of the longest serving extras on the show.
Lmao at the husband's reactions to pixie claiming she never seen them before,
oh my gosh that bloody pixie makes watching Doreen and Maxine seem bearable
Cox is even worse... naughty naughty miss Ferguson!
@@Roger-hq1yt She isn't around for over a hundred episodes. I found her funny but would be irritating if she was a long term character
Roxanne "marriage can solve all my problems" yeah, sounds like a great idea lol
14:58 Grrrr, I really want to slap Pixie. She makes out she's a sweet, lovely woman but she's taken those fellas for all their money!
She's a fake and a scammer.
Nunn.Nunn+n Mann's..nasaaaaaas
They would only give it if they thought they were getting something for it. The men are just as guilty as she is
@@thinkthensend9228She's a prostitute but marries them as well
They used each other.
Maybe not just Douglas that's corrupt perhaps it's the whole department!!!
No it's just Ted Douglas.
As you watch it you do wonder lol
Mrs Reynolds should've handed that photo straight to the police not show Ted Douglas first.
no hes pixi bible bashiing father
Lizzie saying Ted's phone number out loud as she's dabbing the phone book - LOL
Pixies Court appearance was hallarious especially when she accused the judge of trying to palm the blokes off on her to marry 😂😂😂😂😂
My grandfather was a police officer in Melbourne and was part of a team who arrested Squizzy Taylor and members of his gang, or so the family legend goes.
Roxy is a silly moo with no morals whatsoever. And Pixie isn't making me laugh either. Ahh, maybe I'm just fed up and not in the mood.
Agree.
Pahahaha! When Pixie hacks her head off after pretending to have fainted.

Mrs Powell dialling the number @21:31 for Roxy should have known its Ted number?
Pixie is too over the top, poor Anne Reynolds.
Nurse Watson is always on shift.
and dr's brown and wright.
And is Meg Morris moonlighting as an announcer/pager at the hospital?
Nurse Watson is also heard in sons and daughters episodes.
@reikiman surely the union should intervene to give her a break...the poor love!! hahaha
Oh yeah. Him, and two nurses too. For the entire 692 episodes in a hospital scene.
Does anyone else feel like fast forwarding Pixie scenes? She is so annoying!
Or on mute.
Zoogle Utilizer always do
Yes, Pixie is very annoying. She didn't seem bad in her first appearance - but the nostalgia is over. Just something else to fast forward.
Zoogle Utilizer I'm sure she calms down a touch once she settles in.
Yup, this time through I FF all the annoying people.
Dr Wiseman's face seems to take up too much room on his head.
That Roxy's face needs a good scrub. ...Just let The Freak lose on Pixie...
Douglas what would the DeeeeeeeeeParrrrrrtment think? lol
I HEAR VOICES!
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
PIXIE IS KILLING ME!! LOL

Shirley Marie Bradby I totally agree :)
He gets shot in a few episodes
@@ghyjl was that necessary?
When I was a kid there used to be a song on the radio about a sailor who loved a woman named Brandy. " The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my love, my life, and my lady; is the sea."
Oh my goodness I haven’t thought of that song for decades. I remember it from the radio in my mother’s Chrysler. How long ago was that?

19:34 Lizzie can be heard muttering the number she's memorizing. Real smooth!
I absolutely adore Pixie.
She would drive me absolutely bonkers in real life, but the reactions of the other characters are funny.
Ted Douglas is so busted. Or at least he should be. " the depaaaartment" lol
The Minister will be furious!
'Head in the clouds' Pixie is annoying the hell out of me already, oblivious to the rules, thinking they are silly... Was this to try and inject some humour into the show? Because it just doesn't work for me, can't believe we have to endure her for many episodes to come.
She reminds me of Polyanna.
That Roxy always looks grubby like she needs a good wash
And what looks like fake tan too.
She was quite a good surfer in those days, so she’s got the look that was current then.
@@helengazzara8725 ah yes I just googled that. I take back my fake tan comment. Lol
It's Georgie Baxter in a blonde wig
Maybe when Ted refers to "The Department" he means Fellowes and his crew. Lol.
Why wouldn't Mrs Reynolds just submit the photos to the police and the department?
I promise you folks, it won't take too long before pixie grows on you. Yes she can be quite irritating but she is a breath of fresh air
She behaves like a 20 year old but I think the actress could be as old as 35.
I wish someone would put a pillow over her face, smother her and get rid of her
Andy JS Judy McBurney who played Pixie was 35, but she was playing Pixie in her twenties, so yes, you are right. 😊😃
The court scene with Pixy so hilarious
30:35 first time I've noticed the William Dargie painting of Elizabeth II on the canteen wall in all the years of watching this.
Frivolous pixie 🤣😂
can't stand pixies character
"We are all subjects of the Queen Maxie.." Too soon?
Getting fed up of 'Artful Dodger's' acting, aka Maxine.
"Packing death " having heard that since the eighties but people still say they're "packing it"
10:26 Can't be, because you can't marry your own father! (Tad Douglas' actor also plays Pixie's dad in a later episode)
Ian Smith is the actor and he played Douglas and Pixies dad well
*Fast forwards every scene with Pixie*
Roxy looks like a character from water margin
Lol Lizzie said perhaps Douglas is 1 of Pixie's husbands ironically he turns out 2 b her father later on lol (as a different character)
Laughing about Maxine's comment about Ted Douglas being one of Pixie's husbands. Seeing as he plays her father in a later episode (and also the most silly casting)
Bea is so tongue-in-cheek ^^
That face when Ted get the call at the end. You just got had pos ! XD
Pixie got 5 years in prison. That is pretty extreme.
One year per each extra husband seems fair to me
@@ecolin4906 Bea got just 10 years for murder.
hate having to say this but...i t's been a long time since i've watched an episode and enjoyed it all the way through.
Pixie should've went from the young doctors straight to sons and daughters, not prisoner. She would've made a great "Charlie Bartlett's friend"
Laura / Brandy / Susan - 3 Faces of Eve indeed. Douglas is a slimy worm & no doubt Bea will end up paying for Blackmailing him. Good on Paul for standing up to him; will be interesting to see how that pans out. Pixie is too annoying to be comic relief. Wally & Reyno - hookup on the horizon?

As if Douglas would do shifty business infront of Parliament House in daylight hours.
So then, Ted, who has been a naughty boy?
Caught with his hands in the Departments cookie jar lol
Is that doctor from Liverpool?
Do u mean the doctor at roughly 6mins? Sounds more like a barnsley accent megs future boyfriend dennis cranksure is supposedly from Barnsley and he has the same accent
Mrs Reynolds son walks around like he owns the place because of his mother he needs to grow up.
Roxy is such a ham actress….
Idk if anyone knows this but the woman who played pixie is dead now believe it or not. I couldnt believe it as she looked so young
sadly died 2018 cancer 🥲 she was 70 years old
I do love the probably unintentionally ironic comment from Lizzie to Pixie. "They wouldn't believe you were off your rocker..?"

The doctors the con man from Lizzie hotel lol
What shady dealings is Mr. Douglas into? Meg would never want to undress another woman. That's Fergo's thing. Give that baby to the Sheldons Roxanne!
Did Officer Barfield EVER speak?
Bea hid the photo from the screws!
The actress that played Mcnally is a much better actress than the last 10 new inmates. It's a shame she didn't have a longer role in PCBH
You mean McKenzie? McNally was in the first season. Carole Skinner was offered an ongoing contract with Prisoner, but she decided to leave "on a high", and what an ending Nola got !
You ain’t whistling Dixie pixie... said by Roxy when talking about Lionel fellows.
4:57 😂 wouldn't get away with saying that now.
Why couldn't that couple just adopt a baby or child legally? That story line doesn't make sense to me.
Maybe they wanted a baby that had some of there genes (as in the fathers) and a newborn!!! legally the father wud have some rights too
How dare Ted demand those negatives he has been caught and his behaviour makes him look more guilty then the actual picture if he had just shrugged it off no one wud of bothered but his reaction screams of guilt!!!! Sneeky Ted Douglas!!!!! 🤣
