      well actually no, because todays standards are very weak now, everything is watered down. just look at hollyoaks, they wont show any violent at all, its always out of frame, they wont even show a gun , its pathetic.. so yes, by todays standards prisoner is STILL more violent...

    I love Prisoner and the character of Bea Smith but Val Lehman has an ego the size of Australia and her diva antics resulted in the axing of Bea so it was the fans that ultimately suffered. Despite grievances around pay and royalties, it’s fair to say that Val has more than made up for lost income and has been milking the show/character for over 40yrs now

      If you mean Lizzie, she eventually left Wentworth, but I won't say how to avoid spoilers. Sadly, actress Sheila Florence died in 1991. The other 'older woman' in the first episode was "Mum" Brooks, played by Mary Ward. She left the prison early on but made a couple of appearances later. Mary Ward is still alive today and is 105.
