Not even joking when I say I watch Bad Girls once a year about this time of year for the nostalgia. I was born in 95 but I remember some episodes so well from being young and my mum somehow letting me see enough of it that I grew up with a passion for the series. I’ll cherish this box set into retirement (I’m 28) but it’s a show I miss dearly and continue to love continuously 🙏🏼💕
Bad girls is fantastic but Wentworth prison is so much better. If you love bad girls youll definitely love Wentworth prison if you havent watched already. Check it out
This was from the era when TV was still worth watching. Good writing, good actors, no agenda to push, just gritty and true to life stories that people could relate to, with a few bits of high drama thrown it to keep it exciting. It got a little stale toward the end but the first 5 series or so were genuinely gripping and exciting.
@@curtwall7089 Well, the last 3 series descended into pure trash TV. but the first few series of Bad Girls were more "earthy" and less stylised than Wentworth.
I’d say up to S5 was the best of Bad Girls and then it seemed to lose its way. The scene with Linda Henry was hard to watch. I always wanted her to escape, but I’m sure I read some where that it was her decision to be killed off. Would love to know if that was true.
Well she did pretty well for herself on East Enders after that so perhaps it was a smart move career wise, but the show definitely lost some of its spark after she went. An escape would have been a more happy ending for her character, but happy was never really the vibe of the show was it.
@@lillygraceairey464 I know that, but that's the remake. Made the characters totally different from the 70s cell block h. Which if you bother to watch is really good. I ra 72 born baby soml found prisoner cell block h later on
Same but from this interview think it’s fake news less it’s a whole new cast but think they would have said at the end when asked do you think it would come back
Brenda blowing smoke up them somewhat - Bad Girls was brilliant but was NOT groundbreaking. It pretty much owed everything to Prisoner Cell Block H. The creators of the show have even acknowledged Prisoner as their major inspiration for the show. A bit disingenuous to disregard that....

I’m a 95 baby too and my Mum used to let me watch it. Epic show!
I love bad girls, watch it once a year 💯👌 bought the box set 10 years ago for £70 still love it like I did the first time I watched it 🥰
25 years later and still one of the best shows ever made.

weird as i’m watching bad girls now 🤣 loved the show and still do
Really, what season you on?? 😀
+ whereabouts you from, I'm in Kent!
I'm aged 42 I miss Bad Girls
They've literally hardly aged....
Australia's Prisoner Cell Block H was the trailblazer for women's prison series in 70/80's and was resurrected in recent years
And Prisoner is being repeated on the That’s TV 2 channel around 10:55 pm/11:00 pm every day. 😃
And modern wentworth made bad girls looked like a joke in comparison
EXACTLY. There would be no Bad Girls without Prisoner. The creators of Bad Girls have acknowledged it as a direct inspiration for them.

The initial idea was for her to escape so she could come back later on. However she wanted to leave the show hence why they ended up killing her off.

Love love LOVE bad girls! I wish they'd bring it back!
There are bringing it back
That was fake
I enjoyed watching Bad Girls 25 years ago.❤
Surly you have seen repeats since, and got it when it came out to buy on VHS/DVD??
I still rewatch this iconic show i love it🤩🙌
I wish it was available US. Only the first 3 seasons played.
I'm on season 6 now with the poisoning storyline. Love it
Excellent show. Too bad you can't get it on DVD in the US. The DVDs only work in UK VCRs.
Video cassettes work in VCR
@@stequality DVDS don't. It's not on VHS
@@rhondalong152 dvds work in a did player or some games consoles not a vhs
Im just watching bad girls. I fancy shell
Don’t think it was ever the same without her.
It was on about 2 years ago and I saw it from the start even though I looked at it the first time
One of the best shows of all time.
It was amazing one of the best most iconic drama's ever made.
Fenner was an alien from another planet
By the sounds of it, the actresses really had to look up at the sky and think " I'm actually free..." after leaving that set each time. XD
What about prisoner cell block h ??
It's called Wentworth lol the remake now and it's already had 8 seasons

@@rachelsirett8809I'm 33 and i remember prisoner on itv granada late at night when i was little
@@lillygraceairey464 What do you mean? they are two different shows!
I loved bad girls then and still love it now, such a great prison drama.
Loved Bad Girls brilliant then watched it all again not long ago
I watched bad girls, but cell block h was the best
Totally agree!!!
I got the bad girls dvd box set
I heard bad girls is coming back
Same but from this interview think it’s fake news less it’s a whole new cast but think they would have said at the end when asked do you think it would come back

It failed cause they didn't have a Joan Ferguson style character
This show should be axed, because its simply hopeless.
Don’t watch
