Bill Hunter, Vera's love interest George Lucas was married to Pat Bishop, the actress who played Toni McNally. A further bit of trivia, when Pat Bishop died, Fiona Spence (Vera) and her long term partner Prisoner writer Denise Morgan took on Pat's daughter who went to live with them.
bunnyjadeboo tait. Oh that's new to me. Watching the series for the third time. Twice in the early 90's on Swedish TV4. I read alot from UK watched it too. When the TV4 was analog and unencrypted. Then they showed it from the begining to episode 540 i think. They said they didn't have more rights! But then next week that month. August i guess. they started the whole show over. And it looks like they will go all the way. Now at episode 477.ep. 61/season 6 Myself have some catch up to do. have som recorded on my digibox. those who are missing i catch them up here on youtube! Great. 😀
Used to watch this with my grandmother when i was a kid came on late night they couldn't put it on any other time love it but try watching Wentworth it's newer version same characters some of same story line really good
Monica looked lovely when she left. I have a feeling that was the last we see of her, which is a real pity! She was a great character Loved her. Wish she could’ve got to say goodbye to Bea and the others too
@@Julie44Inlouisiana Does she? I didn’t know that. When I watched Prisoner first time I didn’t see a lot of the later episodes so I’ll have to look out for her 👍🏻
Wow! That's an impressive code that Martha's visitor is using. If only Alan Turing had still been alive, there might have been some hope that the screws might have cracked it.
Guy shows up at the gate, tells the guard, "I've come on a visit", and the guard just lets him in. No ID, no idea who he is, and then he walks on without being searched. This "prison" is hilarious.
I honestly think Monnie was way stronger as a side character/second in command to Bea than Judy ever was. It's a pity she had to leave. Great character
I disagree, Bea was afraid of Judy, over time Judy turned into a wuss, but Judy was the only character ever to successfully stand up to Bea. Monnie was very boring, she was a good comic, but even that was limited. See how fast Noelene upstaged Monnie in the comedy dept.
@@markxxx21 Bea was never afraid of Judy she just never hit her due to her pacemaker. The only fights they actually had before her pacemaker was when Judy sucker punched her and then Bea got her back when Judy tried to run out the shower block and got her head dunked.
For some reason, I didn't even question 'heels to give me roses'. Never really gave it any thought! Thank you for making me realise how quick we are to accept such bullshit! Haha. I just copied the weird sound when I sang along! :)
at 46:50 it's hilarious as he states too bad about that, doesn't make a difference she's gay,... hey hey hey.... classic 70's love it and the ominous music makes you think Jaws is about to jump
Monnie had such an unceremonious departure. Kind of sad in that she had become such a central character. Funny how she could be a holy terror at times, but in other instances could be softhearted and even wishy-washy.
'Magic-mouth Mancini - he used to argue compensation cases for the cut of what he could get'! In 1979 solicitors in Australia behaving that way were the lowest form of legal life. In 2014, ambulance-chasing lawyers are simply par for the course.
I know it was a few years later but that Angela Jeffries set looks a LOT like Paul Robinsons place on Neighbours in the 80's, same Designer maybe? and I have always found that blatant 'thumbs up' hand signal from Martha to Toni @ 34:29 hilarious!
It probably was. Neighbours was moving into Channel 10 Studios when Prisoner was finishing up. They probably kept anything they thought could be of use in the future.
I love Monnie.. but I am sick of that awful Karen ! She left the prison so why follow her story ! They never did with anyone else. Why is she so dam special? I would never kick that doctor out of bed, he is quite cute
Has Jean now left as well? The show was initially suppose to be a series of the first 16 episodes once a week. But obviously changes were made to thoes scripts when it was decided the show would continue as two episodes a week and Carol Burns wanted to leave. Monica and Jean were the two characters introduced in shows 15 and 16 that became part of the main cast for two stints as part of the 1st year of Prisoner. But gone in quick succession.
1:30 "I've got a large house... And I would like you to tend to my lady garden.." Mind, Angela is definitely easier on the eyes than Frankie ever was as one of life's 'Martina's Friend' if you will.
Funny how Jean Vernon was written out without even an explanation! When she came back after being gone the first time, she was boring and was causing too much drama.
Makes me think that offscreen Meg reported her to Erica about being too personal with the prisoners families or something. poor Meg had to put up with a lot of crap with Jean around.
Martha’s character flits between being clever enough to plan and deliver coded messages to being dumb asf and a blind follower to then as here criticising and goading her supposed leader lol. But then inconsistent and illogical storylines (remember Jeans car getting stolen for some odd reason that was never even followed up?!) are one of the the many reasons that make Prisoner so bad it’s good 😁
@@ajs41 Anybody know who old chap who appears as an extra so many times (the abrupt guy at the table). He played many rolls, A drunk derro in the street, a kind magistrate, even a truck driver, dropping off contraband (naughty!).
@Heather Elliott She lost her only daughter in 1952 This aged her. I have abook about her life that was written by her daughter in law. Sheila was a very pretty baby, child and young woman. She told people she also lost a baby girl in the London Blitz. But her oldest son was too young to remember a baby sister and they could find no records about a Bridget, daughter of Sheila and her husband being killed by a bomb. Sheila moved to England after marrying her first husband. He was killed in WWII. They had three children. Her husband was killed in the war and Sheila remarried.When the family moved back home to Australia, Sheila got off the airplane, fell to the ground and kissed the dirt and sobbed "I'll never leave you again!" Talking about her native home. Her daughter supposedly jumped to her death from a rooftop. Sheila mourned her death until her own death. It turned out her daughter's fiancee pushed her off the roof. That's what aged Sheila. Plus she was raising her grandson at the time of Prisoner and cared for her cancer stricken husband later on, she developed cancer from all of those cigarettes and the strain from her daughters death and sick husband made her health decline. She was one of the most beloved cast members they had. Fiona Spence came to her bedside after driving from Sydney to Melbourne sobbing all the way. She died two days after Fiona's birthday, October 12, 1991.
The "knees and perfume" comment - maybe I've got a dirty mind (well, I have) but in that context it seemed like Angela was saying she had to get down on her knees for a man to get favours (and I don't mean to pray!)
Looking forward to Martha's demise. Things will get very interesting once Bea's back. Any old random can roll in off the street to see a prisoner - amazing. Vera is so clever but can't recognise obvious coded language for what it is.
I don't know what they did to Greg Miller in this episode. But, whatever it was, it made him even hotter! Different makeup, hair style? Don't know?! But he most certainly was a dreamboat. He's one doctor I wouldn't mind undergoing a complete physical by, I tell you that.
It's nice to know there are still some women out there who don't hate men completely. I'm just an average man, and I've never had a girlfriend. Can you believe that? Yet serial killers get loads of women wanting to marry them. Disgusting, isn't it.
@@ajs41 So sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a guy. So, you might want to reconsider your pickup line. Because, you didn't even make a gay man tingle in the rubber parts. Sorry Charlie.
I like Erica when she takes a stand. I don't like Erica when she cancels Karen's university or throws Bea in the pound without evidence. However, when she stands up against big crime thugs that the department sucks up to. She's great. Erica was the only one to successfully fire the Freak. Keep watching for that drama. I don't want to say too much.
In addition to all but four of the cast not actually smoking on set, it appears that no ash trays are provided, with the exception of 45 mins, where neither character actually smoke in the series.
@@lamontbradford4630 bloody hell, it must have been a permanent fog on set with all that smoke! I once read actresses Amanda Muggleton (Chrissie) and Genevieve Lemon (Marlene Warren) both didn’t enjoy the amount of smoking that went on
Lesley Baker was one of the most charismatic actors to have been in the show thus far - dunno why so many are moaning about her. It's not all about Bea bloody Smith. I'm enjoying the break from her.
derby1884 I'm not sure, but I think that's the guy who beat up Monica's husband. I think he played the character of the guy who was married to the woman Monica's husband was trying to impress.
Have they forgotten about bea she had to wait 2weeks before the vj was coming in but we know he has already been because he came in the first time mcnally got busted she said Mr Goodwin was very nice to her but no one said a word about bea and how much longer she is in the pound/on holiday 😂😂
Do know all u people that say Doreen ,Meg bea or any other character is boring ,stupid ect if u don't like don't bloody watch simples sick of scrolling down comments see Doreen this Meg that bea done this fair enough comment bout the sho but no more comments on who u don't like or who should be got rid of the show is a classic n these characters ur complaining bout made it a classic so shhh !!!!
Actually, I read a comment from a couple of episodes back. They said that they hated Lizzie. REALLY? How can anyone hate Lizzie? Frankly, she is the glue that has kept this show intact. Sheila F. was simply amazing in the role of Lizzie. She was hilarious, even in the tense moments. She was the mother for all the prisoners, young and old. There were so many Lizzie personalities, and she played them all with aces up her sleeve. The best one though was the drunk, singing-at-the-top-of-her-lungs-in-the-middle-of-the-night Lizzie. You know the one I'm talking about. The "She pinched me grog!" Lizzie. Loved her, God bless her soul. And she played it all while suffering from lung cancer. What a trooper Sheila F. was.
Nacho Mamma, spot on, love that Lizzie. She cracks me up and can make me cry she's very good in this show. Whatever comes out of her mouth feels real not just acting what talent. I like reading other talk about the characters. IMO we don't need a comment cop to tell us to shh!
After Monnies lagging and selling Bea out of the hunger strike/boycott it's made me dislike her, she's a bit wishy washy. Watching this the second time around I can't say I'm sad to see her times up.
Can't wait for Bea to get out of solitary. Martha is a ponderous porker. McNally's hired-goons are a bit too conspicuous. Greg doesn't stop moaning. Maybe he's tired and not getting enough.
Has anyone seen what Angela Jeffrey's ( Jeanie Drynan ) Look's like lately? I know she has put on a load of weight but still pretty much look's the same in the face
That Veron creature has buggered off again without any explanation.
Good riddance
Hope that's not the last we see of Monica, she's one of my fav characters ! Looking forward to Bea getting out of Solitary - should be interesting to see how she handles McNally !!
I think it was. I believe she was pregnant in real life.
I’m afraid that was the last we ever saw of Monica.
She comes back as Maxine’s biker friend Tinker Belle.
@@karennicholls8532 no she wasn't pregnant. Her son who was about 1 was showing signs of disability in a time when disability had so much less support and she needed to nurse him as she was a single parent.
He had pretty bad health problems and she said it's why she has to be selective in the work she takes {not signing up to long term roles} as he needs her.

The funny thing is that the automatic subtitle generator on UA-cam gets it right.
@@ajs41 Yes but it always has crazy lyrics for the rest of the song. I wish they'd put the lyrics on subtitles correctly.
Pretty corny song but I never mistaken the first line it always sounded to me correctly "He used to bring me roses".
Gonna miss you Monica Ferguson. Gonna miss your explosians of temper
She comes back later as a biker crim
I really enjoyed Monica. She will be missed even if she comes back as a different character.. she's not Monnie lol
Me too. Love the character. I miss Nolene too.
It's a real shame they didn't bring back Monnie later in the series. Also Noelene.
I liked her as the biker

Many of the major characters had unremarkable exits. It's just the nature of the show.
I count 13 red headed women. It has to be a record for a series
37:47 - urgh that suit, some of the colours used in 70's fashion was diabolical lol
That actor in the blue suit was only in it recently as blossoms boyfriend. Didnt they have enough actors in Australia lol.
34:14 Vera: Ferguson! I knew you couldn't tand stand the distance! :D
What a hilarious cliffhanger !
Gotta love Mrs. Davidson. She's a real spit-fire and sticks to her guns. Love it.
Monica Ferguson was one of the best and entertaining characters on PCBH too bad she left soo soon😢
As Lizzie works that dryer, I wonder if she remembers it's the one Anne Yates died such a horrific death in?

Do you mean his place when the Alessi twins were there? I always loved that house.
It probably was. Neighbours was moving into Channel 10 Studios when Prisoner was finishing up. They probably kept anything they thought could be of use in the future.
Monnie scrubs up pretty well.
love the way she gets to go to the Wentworth boutique just before she leaves
Martha goading Monica in the corridor was hilarious. Pity neither character was in it longer.
Martha hangs around for a long time. But if it's your 1st run through I'll spare any other details. I'm on my 5th run currently.
Toni lawyer probably hoped that Jim fletcher would search him😂😂
Muriels Mum was pretty back in the day! nice to see Meg's getting jealous again too
+jeff wright I'm enjoying it too. She'd be completely delusional to think Karen isn't a threat. I really hope he'll choose Karen in the end.
Smeg is definitely not on the same level as Karen. Smeg as every reason to be jealous.

Better hooking up with Angela than Judy or The Freak.
Bea is going to come out of solitary with a sun tan if she stays in any longer.
Toni deserves whatever is coming to her in the future.. I don't know what it will be but I hope it's bad for her. Please don't respond with spoilers.

There were so many Lizzie personalities, and she played them all with aces up her sleeve. The best one though was the drunk, singing-at-the-top-of-her-lungs-in-the-middle-of-the-night Lizzie. You know the one I'm talking about. The "She pinched me grog!" Lizzie. Loved her, God bless her soul. And she played it all while suffering from lung cancer. What a trooper Sheila F. was.
I agree with you!
Nacho Mamma, spot on, love that Lizzie. She cracks me up and can make me cry she's very good in this show. Whatever comes out of her mouth feels real not just acting what talent. I like reading other talk about the characters. IMO we don't need a comment cop to tell us to shh!
You'd think they'd have something better to do - like watching another episode of Prisoner.
Meg is jealous lmao
Meg is jealous of Karen and Greg is jealous of Angela. Oh my God.
Men are like buses in Meg’s life (and knickers)
Knees and perfume bollocks.
My god that Tina is a hideous crone! GOTTA be into carpet!
Pat O'Connor? I think Angela means Pat O'Connell!
I'd love to be sent to the governors office for a telling off
Very well
No buyup for a week!
Or some advice on the dangers of illicit Elcohol, and then being told I "mey" go!!!!
I've often though Madame Erica should sit there with a whip.
Dr. Miller and Angela look alike. They could be brother and sister.
hey look! it's Anne's future house!
Cant download this episode
Why do you want to download it? Just watch on UA-cam.
That's how I watch - UA-cam.
Ha the cliff hanger is that she's gay!
Gonna miss monnie I like her I think she comes back as Tinkerbell Maxie's mate can't stand Karen
She does come back as Tinker.
Yes
After Monnies lagging and selling Bea out of the hunger strike/boycott it's made me dislike her, she's a bit wishy washy. Watching this the second time around I can't say I'm sad to see her times up.
OMG that drinks scene with Karen etc. was just excruciatingly bad. This is a poorly written episode. Again :/
Maybe that's how life actually was in the 1970s? See Abigail's Party.
Can't wait for Bea to get out of solitary. Martha is a ponderous porker. McNally's hired-goons are a bit too conspicuous. Greg doesn't stop moaning. Maybe he's tired and not getting enough.
+Virginia Guiney Yeah, I'm a little bored without Bea around.
9 days to get to 60 I'm on my third run ever.
I like Monica,she seems to get a lot of slack on here ..
Whats up with that womans eyebrows and those boots
Did Toni smuggle Eve in a brain?.
Has anyone seen what Angela Jeffrey's ( Jeanie Drynan ) Look's like lately? I know she has put on a load of weight but still pretty much look's the same in the face
Greg and Karen were married in real life?
Lori C Peta Toppano and Barry Quin were indeed married. 😃
Apparently while they were doing Prisoner.
