Around 2008 / 2009, Glenda was a regular customer at the supermarket that I worked in. This is pre self checkouts, so I used to be thrilled when she came through my register. She was always very friendly and polite.
I'm 35 and just finished binge watching prisoner. Rita was my all time favourite top dog next to Bea. I was also shocked and proud to hear that she is from Rhodesia. My mom and dad were in Rhodesia and then moved to Australia, I was born in Australia but grew up in South Africa now I'm back in Australia. Would love to give "Rita" a cuddle 🥰 WARRIORS!!!!!
The gorgeous & most humble Glenda. I'm thrilled I got to meet her twice when the Prisoner fan club flew her over to the UK. First in 2009 to Birmingham & Glasgow & the following year with Maggie which was extra special starring together. Plus Glenda performed her one-woman show 'Retrospective Rita' performing 5 monologues of her all-time favourite characters from stage & screen, the last being of course Rita Connors. A kind & generous human being. One of the nicest actors to meet from Prisoner. Bless her for doing the interview on her day off. Another amazing addition to the Talking Prisoner series. Thank you, Glenda, Matt & Ken.
What an amazing interview Glenda was like a breath of fresh air to prisoner and everything she brought to the table with her character rita(the beater) Connors especially out of all the top dogs she's the one who brought Joan Ferguson down finally absolutely love prisoner and love all talking Prisoner interviews ❤️
We would love a part two also but at the moment we have no plans for a part two as Glenda has a very heavy workload, if Glenda’s workload changes we would most definitely have a part two. Who was your favourite top dog ?
@@TalkingPrisoner Bea was definitely my favourite top dog and I love Myra, but Rita gives me such fond memories as I started watching Prisoner from age 6 when it was being shown on Central TV in the UK. The episodes from Blackmoor up to the finale are some of my favourite and Glenda's performance as Rita during this period is up there with some of the best acting in the whole series. That Penguin award was well deserved 👏
Great video, I'm a big fan of prisoner and it's great to see Rita Connors again 40 years later. It's a great channel, I look forward to more interviews .👍😀
Rita Connors was the best female character ever created for Australian television. Prisoner is the best drama ever made. The storyline regarding the indigenous character Sarah West and Pamela Maddigan episode 658 to 670 were the best episodes ever shown on Aus television. The other theme that was POWERFUL was female peer friendship. Not the stock standard Aus drama girls fighting over the same bloke, boring. Lois Collinder played Rita's best friend Alice Lurch for the last 100 episodes. Fabulous and life affirming friendship. Above all Glenda Linscott the most gifted actor in this country. Good luck teaching at WAAPA . Thanks for your work at Blackmoor . The storyline was really how Ned Kelly would have behaved if he was a female prisoner. Ned would have stood up just like Linscott's Connors. Take a bow Rita Connors. Let's have far more drama and stories that are female centred. Can't be too hard. Esther Mitchell
Loved Rita wow only realising now what a great actress Glenda is. I still watch prisoner today reminds me of my time in Australia. Rita character was prisoner I only looked it up years later because I had to watch Rita again !! Even better than the first time I saw it. ❤
Great interview! Love how engaged she was and so full of enthusiasm and amusement when reminiscing on her days in Prisoner. It's nice to see how endearing the show is to her to this day. Glenda has a big personality and has also aged extremely well! It must be a hoot to be a student in one of her acting classes.
Wow!! This interview was everything!! Thank you so much guys for putting this interview together, and thank you to Glenda for this amazing interview. Rita was my all time favorite character and topdog in prisoner. Glenda seems like such a lovely person with a big heart, and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time while I was watching this interview. Thanks again 😎
@@TalkingPrisoner Already subscribed buddy 😊 I definitely would have loved for Prisoner to have continued past 692. There was still so many story's to tell, its a shame it got cancelled due to ratings
Im sooooo glad that I finally - after 2 decades - watched past the Bea/Lizzy/Judy era to completion, or I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy all of these wonderful interviews. Rita and the final bunch of women really did save the show and, after a slump, meant that it ended just as you were left wanting more, which is the way any good production should go out. Loving this interview so far. She seems so kind and nice.
What a fantastic interview! Glenda is so engaging and real.Just lovely and so much fun. Glenda,you're looking great and you are such a sweetheart.You speak so well on the topic,this interview was a delight. This is definitely one of the best Prisoner interviews. Thank you so much Glenda for participating.
@@TalkingPrisoner Well,it would have to be Rita since she took down The Freak :).Minnie's run as Top Dog was fun.And of course Queen Bea will always be iconic.
In one episode in the final season, Rita talks about and describes her ride with Slasher across the Nullarbor when she was younger. I found the story to be quite enchanting and inspiring, so I just recently decided to head out and cross the Nullarbor myself, and thought of Rita on her Harley as I was rolling along the badlands... not on a motorbike unfortunately, but still quite incredible!
Just thought I'd a watch the into and ended up watching the lot! I've met Glenda a few times and she is genuinely interested in fan's interest and she's always interesting to listen to. Thanks again, all.
@@TalkingPrisoner I am loving it . To see you guys get access with these legends makes me both me jealous but mostly really happy that you guys have actually brought the best out of them and their honesty ! :) I cannot wait for each Friday now lol . Hope you guys are well .
I can’t tell you how much I’ve loved watching this episode,,, as a 12 year old in 1989 I saw the play of Prisoner in Stoke on Trent in which Glenda performed,, I thought she was fab,, sadly my parents who took me wouldn’t allow me to try and get an autograph from the back door 🙁
Wow another fascinating journey we're taken on and a wonderful colorful narrative with a very effervescent Glenda .... we could definitely hear more from Glenda ... perhaps a second hander sometime in the future ???
@@TalkingPrisoner A bit of a non-answer, but I loved them all as they all brought something different to the table. Bea, Myra and Rita were all excellent, but even the likes of Minnie and Nora had different enjoyable qualities. Fight arranger Glen Ruehland was mentioned in Glenda’s interview - if he’s still around that might make an interesting behind the scenes interview! 🙂👍
It’s funny that this would pop up in my feed, as I just finished my 28th run of the series this evening! And, in the comments of Episode 692, I have written a short fan fiction of “Rita’s Story”, inspired by Rita’s final line, “I’ll be the oldest bikey in the world!” Loved Rita, and love Glenda!
@@TalkingPrisoner Here ya go. And as I stated, this is fan fiction. And the story continues... Rita stated, "I'll be the oldest biker in the world!" And this is true. Rita went on & continued treatment, and went into remission. By her side, Alice cared for her night and day, anxiously awaiting Harry's release from Barnhurst. Harry received an early parole due to good behavior & remissions. Upon his release, Harry returned to Wentworth and was hired by the department as maintenance & groundskeeper, married Alice & lived in the apartment on the prison grounds where Alice & Rita reside. Anne puts Rita up for parole because of her illness, and is approved. But little did anyone else know, Anne also submitted Alice for early release. With remissions & diligence in caring for Rita, Alice received her parole so she could continue with her caring for Rita. And, upon their release, Harry & Alice take Rita to live on Alice's family farm along with Ida, who passed away shortly after moving in, due to a massive stroke. Although the four were only together for a short time, they were a family, not through blood, but through love. Harry & Alice continued caring for Rita, helping her through the mourning of Ida, and recovery, with experimental medication & treatment. Rita started riding again, but not with a club. She roamed the country, and returned when news arrived of Alice joining the duffer's club. It was Rita's turn to take care of Alice while Harry cared for the farm, and soon they were a family of four again with the arrival of Ida Louise, a beautiful curly hair who would receive more love than any child could ever wish for. And as their dear friend Lorelei would say, "And they lived happily ever after." ******************* Joan, on the other hand, would not have it easy in the west. But that, I'll save for another day. And believe me, EVERYTHING COMES FULL CIRCLE FOR THE FREAK! *******************
One more thing about Rita, although it probably wasn’t intentional, almost from her arrival to Wentworth, Rita begins to show signs of being sick. They are subtle at the start, but the closer to the end, the more noticeable.
Great Interview, Concise, and to the point. Introduction & Career details given the right amount of time...then the Interview got onto Prisoner-related subjects....
Hahaha thank you boys for asking the final question.. And to Glenda for ANSWERING it hahaha love it!! Gorgeous, funny and intelligent lady with huuuuuge acting chops that (in my opinion) carried the show from episode 600.. Right through to the end!! Love you Rita/Glenda xxxx
All good things to those who wait. We finally got Glenda!The last of the big Prisoner icons. Fantastic interview (well done Ken and Matt) she certainly didn't disappoint and was a delight to watch. My remaining wishlist in no particular order; Carole Skinner, Bevan Lee, Amanda Muggleton, Rosanne Hull Brown, Lindy Davies, Caroline Gilmour, Jan Russ, Jane Clifton. Look forward to the next one.
Never knew Glenda lived in Paignton. Been there many times as I have a friend there. Great advice about a gap year. I was pushed into going to university far too young and struggled socially and my degree was wasted in the end.
@@TalkingPrisoner No sadly. it's 25 years since I left University. Wasn't prepared for it and not preparared for the outside world. I was from a poor family and had a major inferiority complex. Have to say I encounted some mean spiritedness/bullying from some of my fellow students/housemates. Not invited for nights out as I wasn't considered one of the "cool" people. They even had a Christmas party in our kitchen without even mentioning it! Anyway I met lots of really nice people whilst travelling, people who weren't as narrow minded as the ones who attended the university I did. That is why I back up Glenda's comments 100%. Don't get me started on the debt either. I had the Student loans company chasing after me for 25 years and now they have changed that to 40 years for new students. That's one hell of a commitment, so if you aren't sure wait and get some life expereince first.
Great interview, as always...1 hour better than nothing...has there been a delay or cancellation with the Pepe / Lexie interview? Looking forward to seeing who else follows the Delia Stout interview too... keep up the good work....would love to hear from Patsy King and Amanda Muggleton in particular.
@@TalkingPrisoner well..it's obvious but it has to be queen Bea ...she's the definitive top dog .but when I got used to her I loved Myra ...loads of rubbish ones in between ..then the glorious Rita ..finally beat the freak ...all three actresses were sublime ...but Bea was my first and best
I'm a wee bit younger than Glenda being a mid 60's baby from the UK. But my mum also had a chance to be a £10 pom back in her youth. Luckily she didn't take up the offer. Else I wouldn't be here today. lol She did actually tell me in the late 1970's when I was a (quickly) growing teen, that all things considered how the UK was under the then Labour Government that she regretted that decision. But luckily we had an incoming Conservative Government that changed the economic landscape of the UK right around that time. So we lived happily for many years after that in a vastly changed country. She died almost 10 years ago now, having lived out her days being able to afford to eat and to heat her house. She would probably be mightily pissed off again at the current situation were she still with us.
Great interview however way too many adverts! 40 seconds into it and an advert came up. For the whole 1 hour interview, at least 20 or more ad breaks... most videos i watch arent this bad...

Around 2008 / 2009, Glenda was a regular customer at the supermarket that I worked in. This is pre self checkouts, so I used to be thrilled when she came through my register. She was always very friendly and polite.
As Ken said, the Rita Connors character almost single-handedly rescued the show in the final season in my opinion. Thanks for another great interview.
What are your thoughts on the way the show ended ?
She was ..and kath went from an annoying character to one you really rooted for.
I'm 35 and just finished binge watching prisoner. Rita was my all time favourite top dog next to Bea. I was also shocked and proud to hear that she is from Rhodesia. My mom and dad were in Rhodesia and then moved to Australia, I was born in Australia but grew up in South Africa now I'm back in Australia. Would love to give "Rita" a cuddle 🥰 WARRIORS!!!!!

Harry received an early parole due to good behavior & remissions. Upon his release, Harry returned to Wentworth and was hired by the department as maintenance & groundskeeper, married Alice & lived in the apartment on the prison grounds where Alice & Rita reside.

Glenda Linscott is a sweetheart
Lovely lady
I'm a wee bit younger than Glenda being a mid 60's baby from the UK. But my mum also had a chance to be a £10 pom back in her youth.
Luckily she didn't take up the offer. Else I wouldn't be here today. lol
She did actually tell me in the late 1970's when I was a (quickly) growing teen, that all things considered how the UK was under the then Labour Government that she regretted that decision.

She died almost 10 years ago now, having lived out her days being able to afford to eat and to heat her house. She would probably be mightily pissed off again at the current situation were she still with us.
She hasn't changed a bit she looks well
YAY

She really is, it was such a joy to speak and interview Glenda
Great interview however way too many adverts! 40 seconds into it and an advert came up. For the whole 1 hour interview, at least 20 or more ad breaks... most videos i watch arent this bad...
Apart from the ads did you enjoy the interview ?
