+derby1884 I also recall when either Leanne or her Uncle saying that the grandmother was on social security, and that was all they had to live by because the grandfather was in jail in Queensland. So why is good enough for the grandmother to have a welfare payment, but not Leanne?
I like how Jean was preaching to Meg recently about breaking boundaries and visiting Mum; yet she's happy to give out her and Meg's address to a prisoner's daughter and even let move in... Nice one, Miss V ;)
Jean disgusts me, and Meg is not far behind....A kid robs you, you let them move in, and, then wait on them hand and foot. It's Megs house and she let's this go on.....WTF!
Jim reckons that Erica needs the full facts in front of her before making the decision to allow Karen to return to University. Well, its just a shame that the importance of obtaining concrete evidence never seemed to matter to her before when she took the hasty action to suspend her study release. Please Erica, if you can't be fair to them then at least be consistent.
Jean Vernon is an idiot for letting Nolene Burke's daughter move in with her and Meg. The Big M/Martha cracks me up - "But I thought you were going to show me the pony?"
I'm so glad that worm of a professor is gone! I was really hoping Vera was gonna give him a right hook with the way he was going off on her and Jim in reception.
The scenes between Martha and Bella are funny but depressing at the same time. Lizzie offering the child killer a biscuit then telling her how she's good with poisons as she bites into it.
I’m so tired of Karen having her privileges taken away every time Bea gets up to something. I don’t love her character but she literally never does anything against the rules.
Completely agree. They should be understanding of Karen's situation, being trapped between the women and trying to better herself. I don't mind her that much. The character I can't stand in the early years of prisoner is that lawyer Steve. His voice is unreal and way over the top. No one in real life speaks like that with that accent.
The change in Martha in such a short time continues to amaze. Lizzie still gets me with her parting shot at Clements - howling. Glad to see the back of him. Jean Vernon is incredibly ridiculous about the Burkes and Meg is worse for going along with it. Meg should kick both of them out. LeAnne's Boreen routine & Melinda's nympho act are boring and so are they.
That's the 1st thing I noticed when Leanne was added to the cast. It has a certain up and down sound as they speak and end up on a highter note, question tone when it's not a question. LOL hard to get what I'm trying to say in writting :)
Bea on Bella to Monnie,: ".......They're watching her like she' s Princess Anne!" Hilarious! I love Vera's hostile attitude and belligerent smirk which alienates her from all half-decent beings. Melinda is a selfish bitch. Lizzie's great!!
My favorite Australian biscuit. Tim Tam's. I could get them at Walmart but the oneI usually shop at stopped selling them so I had to start buying them through Amazon.
lol the guards didn’t hear the high pitched shrieks of Bella whilst being strangled but turn around in abrupt unison upon the muffled yelling of the prisons scrapping on the ground!
So are the showers that are right in the reception area the same showers the prisoners always use or are they just for new prisoners when they're just coming in?? The set looks exactly the same, except sometimes it's off the corridor and sometimes it's behind that wall in reception
James Cannon... no they r not the same showers... the reception showers are for incoming and protected prisoners (in real prisons they r sometimes used if theres a prob in the shower block too altho most cells IRL now have a shower in them and r single cells (and have a toilet same as they always did) ... also when u go in u get assessed by a psychiatrist to evaluate ur classification... i notice thats missed out in this... its a major thing too!!! u get ppl like me who r claustrophobic n suicide risks or need protection n a million other things xxx
... just gotta love Meat-Head Martha. Soooo funny. Shame she was written out just as her part was building up after being in the background for so long. Maybe the writers dumbed her up or should I say down while Dozy Dor was temporarily away... ... thank FUCK Creepy Clements got his dressing down and then out!
Martha has lost 80 IQ points in 5 episodes. Also didnt Lizzie kill 14 guys? now its 4? Love the way lizzie acknowledges how smart bea is and shes like "psychology" - hilarious. Only very early on would lizzie encourage a fight like that and tell bea she is "chickening" and also bea would never threaten lizzie usually.. I guess Lizzie realises how hardcore bea is in the coming episodes - theyre not quite yet good good mates.. Why are people like monie and bea vigilantes? righting wrongs themself
Bet she looks like an old hag/witch now if she's still living. She'd have a black cat and a broomstick. In these episodes she looks more like a female version of Fagin from Charles Dickens Oliver Twist and she's got a wee band of thieves on the outside...called family! 😂
Little Burke steals Jean's car, robs Meg's place and she's being served at the breakfast table after messing up the bathroom? My God Jean is dumber than Martha X's 1000! I really don't get these professional types these past few episodes.
The problem is too many cooks... they have writers with weak storylines some are not flowing like they should. Makes it hard on the actors with many bad scripts. I agree about professionals who give so much of themselves with little respect in the end. To be honest you'll find more bumps along the way but still a very good show :) Enjoy it!
That was a very good point Leanne made about how it was ok for her Mum to be housed and fed by the Government but not her daughter.
+derby1884 I also recall when either Leanne or her Uncle saying that the grandmother was on social security, and that was all they had to live by because the grandfather was in jail in Queensland. So why is good enough for the grandmother to have a welfare payment, but not Leanne?
Another blooper
Christina i noticed that too but no one else commented on it n i wasnt gonna go back to check... so thanx :) xxx
Christina from Oz - Social security isn’t welfare.
Apparently, according to Noelene, it's fine for most of her family to be in prison and live of taxpayers, just don't do it legally.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that Bea put one over Clemence!!! I also love the fact that Erica's accent gets posher the more angry she gets.
Erica is a pain ..#QueenBea
I like how Jean was preaching to Meg recently about breaking boundaries and visiting Mum; yet she's happy to give out her and Meg's address to a prisoner's daughter and even let move in... Nice one, Miss V ;)
Agree! In reality, Jean probably would have been fired for that (and lost her credentials). But that's entertainment. :)
Meg's an idiot for allowing Leanne to stay at her place after she robbed her! I'd have tossed Jean out too!
Meggie-Pops is wet.
It's impossible not to love Lizzie
Gotta love Vera's knowing smirk when she learnt about big jims secret
Haha, thought Vera was gonna bust a blood vessel when the physiologist mentioned suppressed sexuality.... LMAO!
Good on Lizzie for scaring the stuffing out of the child killer with her tales of murder and poison!
3032l That was a great scene by Lizzie
30:32
"We had roses on our lino at home". Oh Martha 😂
Loved Lizzie's little chat with Clement's and her parting words "I hope you rot in hell" lol.
"Shes as slow as a week in Wentworth". Liz. Ha ha ha lol
Jean disgusts me, and Meg is not far behind....A kid robs you, you let them move in, and, then wait on them hand and foot. It's Megs house and she let's this go on.....WTF!
Anu Yew i
I was pissed too!!!!
Agreed
Saint Meg the Good

Has Martha had a lobotomy in the last couple of episodes or something?!
Yeah! Talk about a personality transplant.
its like they just decided to make her stupid for upcoming scripts
The changed Martha into an idiot lol
its the old soap opera problem of the writers suddenly changing a persons personality
Jean Vernon is an idiot for letting Nolene Burke's daughter move in with her and Meg.
The Big M/Martha cracks me up - "But I thought you were going to show me the pony?"
I'm so glad that worm of a professor is gone! I was really hoping Vera was gonna give him a right hook with the way he was going off on her and Jim in reception.
He definitely was a slimy bastard. Glad to see the back of him.
The scenes between Martha and Bella are funny but depressing at the same time. Lizzie offering the child killer a biscuit then telling her how she's good with poisons as she bites into it.
41:33 "You had to be there.." lol. Noeline is close to my favourite prisoner ever in PCBH. Top 10 definitely. Maybe top 5 even.
Yes, Noeline is a great character. She’s a favourite inmate of mine too. 😃
I love this program.....so much 'light' entertainment. Social workers cannot possibly be so naive :)
Vera is hilarious,she cracks me up
Martha Reeves? Lol. Vera and her one liners are terrific!
Clements's parting shots cracked me up especially vera! PMSL!!!!
Why can't i stop... watching episode after episode until sunrise and the morning chorus remind me i have to get up out of bed shortly !!!
I’m so tired of Karen having her privileges taken away every time Bea gets up to something. I don’t love her character but she literally never does anything against the rules.

My mum had me on her fourteenth!! LOL
Not surprised.
The doctor called Erica "Governess" when he walked into her office lol
Lizzy cracks me up "4 big bastards ' ..
I love bea's laugh when lizzie says about the poison
You've got to love it when Lizzie bungs on her "crazy old poisoner act" when she's trying to freak someone out.
I thought they only ate marmalade at Meg and Jean's place - and then Jean hands Leanne a great pot of jam anyway.
The change in Martha in such a short time continues to amaze. Lizzie still gets me with her parting shot at Clements - howling. Glad to see the back of him. Jean Vernon is incredibly ridiculous about the Burkes and Meg is worse for going along with it. Meg should kick both of them out. LeAnne's Boreen routine & Melinda's nympho act are boring and so are they.
Peter Clemence grosses me out and angers me more than any other character thus far! He is NOT a doctor! He's a joke!
He's only got a doctorate in psychology, he's not an actual medical doctor.
He's disgusting in every way
He's pathetic
Yeah leave a known thief alone in your office , good call jean
Burke by name Burke by nature
Leanne talks just like Doreen.
That's the 1st thing I noticed when Leanne was added to the cast. It has a certain up and down sound as they speak and end up on a highter note, question tone when it's not a question. LOL hard to get what I'm trying to say in writting :)
I noticed that too! very weird and interesting, if I didn't know any better I'd think they were related
Depends what part of Australia you were brought up in, different ways of talking.
That scene with Clemens actually made me pity Vera!
Bea on Bella to Monnie,: ".......They're watching her like she' s Princess Anne!" Hilarious! I love Vera's hostile attitude and belligerent smirk which alienates her from all half-decent beings. Melinda is a selfish bitch. Lizzie's great!!
I love Lizzy so much. But Jean. Oh, Jean, why so stupid? Just, why?
My favorite Australian biscuit. Tim Tam's. I could get them at Walmart but the oneI usually shop at stopped selling them so I had to start buying them through Amazon.
Sheri Heffner lol really, best Aussie biscuit ever, I got some today 👍
0.30 Such a fake scream. 9:30 "Bea must have a higher IQ than I thought" (*Yes and it is higher than yours Doc!)
Bea messaged his ego. Clements is extremely egotistical. So into himself.
Really your an intellectual giant........ Oh Vera, your just awesome ........ 👏👏👏😂😂
Erica should apologize to Karen. She's all about prison reform, yet makes everything worse.
@ 17:10 - “All that repressed sexuality waiting to be tapped.” LOL
George Barrett Vera needs it 😂
Bella and Martha remind me of Kath Maxwell and Merle Jones.
True, but that's not really giving much away.
Repeat storylines
Clemens is a vile individual. He didn't like being given the brush off by Vera. Glad he's gone.
That psychologist is gross.
30:39 "I'm not worried about old fat guts..."
Jim is starting to become real Jim in this episode.
Martha: “She thinks I’m stupid”
Well you are the one who sneaked around the corner and yet was still on full show like a giant tangerine!!
40:21 - Just how much friggin’ jam does that dirty minger need on one slice of toast?!?
Lizzie killing me 😂she said"hey look the big M, damn Everytime I see her she's getting bigger. You gonna need a pick ⛏️ to get around her" 😆
lol the guards didn’t hear the high pitched shrieks of Bella whilst being strangled but turn around in abrupt unison upon the muffled yelling of the prisons scrapping on the ground!
Martha Eaves: are her sidekicks called The Vandellas?
Jean Vernon is rather silly.
Naive
I agree and useless as a social worker. She's done nothing right as far as I can see.
That's a milder description than I would use for that woman.
That Melinda or Belinda whatever her name is looks like Marilyn Manson
Did we miss the episode where Martha ate paint chips? When exactly did she go brain dead?
Burke’s don’t take help we help ourselves haha
Oh Bea, shutup, you're not judge and jury.
B thinks she's that Chick
Oh Lizzie 15:00 😂😂😂
Lmao at Vera and Clements around the 17 minute mark. He fancied his chance's
Tara, in Australia the slang word for the unemployment benefit is the dole, that's what they're saying.
It's the same saying in the UK too (at Tara's comment.)
So are the showers that are right in the reception area the same showers the prisoners always use or are they just for new prisoners when they're just coming in?? The set looks exactly the same, except sometimes it's off the corridor and sometimes it's behind that wall in reception

Gee has that Uni Shrink got his nose out of place.. Sarcastic creton.
Lizzie and Dr. C - he really is as thick as he thinks the women are :lol:
Geaux Vera !! Glad You didn't fall for dat creepy sleaze ball
Yeah even Vera didn't fall for that jerk
doctor clements coming on to vera classic scene lol
Clemans talking to Vera haha pricelss
" An Intellectual giant " lol
Imagine having the shower block next to reception... Women walking through reception half naked in their towels.
Ross Lamb seriously. WTH?
You're not a Burke's bootlace.😊
They’re really making the most of Karen’s day release lol. Poor girl must have terrible whiplash all the while!
Vera's sarcasm; "intellectual giant"!
One tap. And Bella is out like a light. 🤣😴
Martha could look exactly like an Oomph Loompa with the right makeup.
Ахахаха
Why is Martha suddenly talking like a baby?
Dr Clements reminds me of Cat Stevens. He's also like a member of Fleetwood Mac, whose name I can't think of.
@ Jennifer G: Peter Green, maybe?
Mick Fleetwood?
@Jennifer G I believe you may mean John McVie. I had to look up the three male members of Fleetwood Mac to see who you meant. 😃
Frank Zappa
funny, I have a kitchen rug with that stripe pattern
Martha Eaves is mentally weak, but cunning. Very cunning and she plots
The best prisoner cell block H years where the early years
"Wouldn't hurt to bash her one!" Lizzie :D
... just gotta love Meat-Head Martha. Soooo funny. Shame she was written out just as her part was building up after being in the background for so long. Maybe the writers dumbed her up or should I say down while Dozy Dor was temporarily away...
... thank FUCK Creepy Clements got his dressing down and then out!
Davo never have the facts before making a decision. You’re wrong Fletch.
Is Mrs Davidson the Aussie Mrs Thatcher
Whats davo got on her head... Is it a scale model of the sydney opera house!
Martha has lost 80 IQ points in 5 episodes. Also didnt Lizzie kill 14 guys? now its 4? Love the way lizzie acknowledges how smart bea is and shes like "psychology" - hilarious.

Clements is an absolute creep!
I'm surprised the Curiosity show didn't snap up Doctor Clements.
Love the one size fits all dungarees if your on the last row of poppers your know your overweight
I wondered if Bella killed her pony...it's the way she stopped @ 43:52. It's like she had something to hide... .
"Saint" Meg is at it again. Will she ever learn? Nope! Ha Ha Ha!
I'm so glad that Steve Wilson left, he just annoyed me, maybe because he was such a bore.
😂😂lizzie makes me laugh so much.
It's not Martha Reeves lol
It's Martha Eaves
I think Martha Reeves was the lead singer for the 60s girl group Martha and The Vandellas.
Look's like everyone got a haircut
Noleen's face is like a bad car wreck, afterbirth, sin, a mix between a pug dog and a crow. I doubt she urinates sitting.
shoeladyt a face like a smashed crab?
Bet she looks like an old hag/witch now if she's still living. She'd have a black cat and a broomstick. In these episodes she looks more like a female version of Fagin from Charles Dickens Oliver Twist and she's got a wee band of thieves on the outside...called family! 😂
Clemens must be the one that's hard up if he made a offer to Vera haha
Where's Joyce Martin disappeared too??
On day release to do pantomime😎
She went to D Block. Don't know why.
14:50: You go Lizzie!! 🤟
Whatever happened to Isolation. It seems to disappear and reappear at will. Why wouldn't you put Bella there?
We haven't yet seen Isolation. The wing hasn't been invented.
Oh hell no. That little burk needs to go
Little Burke steals Jean's car, robs Meg's place and she's being served at the breakfast table after messing up the bathroom? My God Jean is dumber than Martha X's 1000! I really don't get these professional types these past few episodes.

U R So Right About Lizzie I Love Her
The psychologist was very odd.
