The Murphy/Ferguson fight scene is one of the best fights in Prisoner. Murphy's lines "You Bastard!" to Joan, after she whacks him in the nuts, and "I'll kill ya!" are also two of my favorite quotes from the entire series!
22:48 This scene included in the blooper video available on YT. The actor who plays Colby keeps calling Len Murphy, "Les" - he does it twice, and Mrs Barry plays along on one of the takes "Congratulations Les!"
@@Summer21. they were so funny looks like they had a proper blast filming this it's really funny seeing the clips of proper serious stuff and the comedy they inject in to it is there any more out takes or is this the only one? Thanks any ways they were brilliant 😁 😁
@@helengazzara8725 But it's still cute to some of us in America where that expression isn't used, especially when that expression is used when talking about a cockroach running away. Lol.
The prisoner writers had a habit of embarking on absolutely ludicrous and irritating storylines which clearly didn't pan out to be as exciting as they thought they would be, but instead of just letting them die a death, they string them out and do everyone's heads in.
Having watched this series numerous times before I have finally started to appreciate the true quality of acting on show from Trevor Kent (Frank Burke) and Maurie Fields (Len Murphy). They played the bad guys very well and some of Len's acting and lines were especially convincing in this episode. The scene with Len and Joan fighting is up there with the series best. I used to despise the characters of Len, Frank and Joan for being so evil, but in truth I can now see that by doing that I was actually missing out on appreciating the reality of how good they actually were. Enjoyable episode.
I actually wanted Joan to be temporary governor this time, she is the lesser of two evils. at least she isnt trying to rape anyone or beating up other guards. Some times, the freak actually comes in handy, like getting rid of a few of these evil bitches.
Wow! I have been waiting for the ferguson-Murphy fight for a while. Had a feeling Murphy might win.Fast forward any scene involving Marlene and the cockroaches
It's written like this as English is supposed to not be yemils mother tongue. But all fairness the majority of people from her country who have any grasp of English use better grammar than that.
I've been teaching English for 15 years and I've never seen someone with Yamil's level of English master present perfect tense (the driver has died/ I have taken life) so easily. She can't manage present simple and past simple without lots of mistakes, but present perfect (the hardest tense for most foreigners to learn) is easy for her.
yes sometimes I think you are right. they show her personal life A LOT. Although I don't like Ferguson, I actually enjoyed when they show her with the child , because it was interesting and she showed compassion. Meg , it's really crazy. look at how much stuff happens to her ALL the time.
Sandy That's what all the soap operas of England and Australia have been doing for years with a lot of boring, unlikable, long-serving characters, who need to go permanently, but are still sadly there, and we don't want to go on a journey of their lives as it's the same old routine as usual.
Evening rain There are some outside parts that I can't stand throughout the series and they are very skippable. Some outside parts are interesting and important to the plots, but the real action is at Wentworth, which no one wants to miss. 😊😃
I miss Bev the Beast, We traded her creeping around scaring everybody; making them all worry that they will be next. I miss Vera 'Vinegar Tits' Bennett. I would love to see her and the Freak compete for control.
I want Len Murphy to stay on this show forever much better value as a villian then the Freak who's not at all been menacing since she got rid of Bea , if a piss ant like Reb can ride rough shot over her , well the Freak has no credibility left other then that of a pantomime dame. Len's the real deal and the best govorner so far he's also helped Bobby a lot and was kind to the token wog so he's not that bad .
As all of you know by now, Judy McBurney; who played Pixie Mason died on December 1st 2018. I am a member of her fan club, they now call it Remembering Judy McBurney Fan Club. The person that formed it told their other fans that not one single cast member from Prisoner attended her funeral or rememberence memorial. I say to that WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS! The woman said that several members of her other show she was on, The Young Doctors attended it.
That's two characters now that have been foreign and not spoken a word of English upon their arrival, and by their second episode they are completely fluent. Where to go for a crash course in English; Wentworth... Where else 😂🤣😂 11th October 2023.
4:30 What gives with Dr. Agreeeable? He is available 24/7 for Meggie and seems a bit more than professionally interested. 15:30 I was really hoping the Freak would get the upper hand. 24:20 Seriously? The guard doesn't watch while inmates handle dangerous tools? There is no checking in and out of tools? They just lie about handily with electrical tape so a prisoner can securely fasten the stolen tool to his person. 44:20 Male prisoners roam the halls and rape female inmates in a women's prison. How realistic (NOT)!
The rape scene with Len was discussed by Louise Silvesen (who played Lou) in an interview with the "Talking Prisoner" podcast. She said Maurie Fields (who played Len) kept farting, trying to make her "corpse".
Joan and Len's fight has to be the greatest television viewing ever seen!
metal_red_cez 76 I AGREE I WAS FALLING OUT OF MY CHAIR WATCHING THE FIGHT.
Loved it!
Beats the 1970 grand final between Collingwood and Carlton any day of the week.
The way Len Murphy says "You bastard" when Joan Ferguson delivers him that low blow, is a thing of beauty :)

@@Summer21. thank you for this! Xx
@@Summer21. they were so funny looks like they had a proper blast filming this it's really funny seeing the clips of proper serious stuff and the comedy they inject in to it is there any more out takes or is this the only one? Thanks any ways they were brilliant 😁 😁
Hu pryce who played colby also played a unit soldier in doctor who story the day of the daleks with Jon pertwee as the doctor
the fight between the screws is payback time for Myra, she looks so happy as they are tearing themselves apart
I love Lou and her evil vicious face. One of the best villains on Prisoner.
"A seven letter word for highly scented fruit..." "Proctor." Ha! Even Joan had to smile at that one.
Yeah lol
That was funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
An "apricot" maybe?
Haha
Boryana Kasabova what did that mean I'm from the US
Without a doubt, the best fight scene in Prisoner!
Karin Swift I absolutely loved it
Pat Morac You’re right. It was better. 😃
My favourite is Edith Wharton vs the land lady lol
That landlady was Murphy’s real life wife.
Terrific interplay between Joan and Len early on. There's nowhere near enough! Wish they'd made a whole episode just with them.
A bit like Laurel and Hardy.
Fergies face when turd Murphy got acting governor lol. 😆
lol when the roach was lost she said " he shot through" lol you Aussies are so cute.
EmmA not really. That’s one of our expressions.
From the US. I noticed that too.
I thought that was cute, too!
@@helengazzara8725 But it's still cute to some of us in America where that expression isn't used, especially when that expression is used when talking about a cockroach running away. Lol.
really dont understand this cockroach thing, i wish it had lasted one episode, not like 10 lol.
+Radiant Silver Labs I agree, its a senseless story.
they have to have a happy silly storyline with all the shit that goes on in there lol
Really bad as if they had ran out story's
The prisoner writers had a habit of embarking on absolutely ludicrous and irritating storylines which clearly didn't pan out to be as exciting as they thought they would be, but instead of just letting them die a death, they string them out and do everyone's heads in.
Lexie's mother is now the producer that's why the storylines suck.
22:55 I saw a behind the scenes clip of that scene and it was so funny when he kept saying Lez Murphy, lol
KaraJayne Makin I saw that as well 😂😂😂
@KaraJayne Makin And here are the outtakes with the scene in question. 😃
ua-cam.com/video/3SU0jsEQqBw/v-deo.html&app=desktop
Murphy and Burke need their nuggets cutting off. Seems a long time ago Vera, Bea, Doreen, Chrissie, Helen, Lizzie etc. I miss them and Margo.
Virginia Guiney Not Margo
spectrumlocalb191 agree - not Margo
I miss Margo too. MARGO & REB were a Better 'Double-Act' than LOU & REB
I miss Noelene and Monnie
OMG! How did Meg EXPECT the Clinic to be?? She can be so bloody foolish sometimes! 🙄

This show has a very weird mixture of comedy and seriousness, although I think it works very well.
and Louise Siverson. I frigging love her
Maurie Fields okayed the bad guy so well, that it was hard to separate his comedic persona on Hey Hey from his nasty roles.
Oh please, will someone brush Bobbie's hair?
Julie44Inlouisiana thank you! It's terrible!
Only a combine harvester could do that job
In real life you'd think she'd probably have to shave her head to rid that knotted up nest.
Bobbie, Margo and Lou are in competition for shittest hairstyle.
@Julie44Inlouisiana I liked Bobbie’s two previous hairstyles, but this one is a mess and not a good look at all. 😃
The BEST fight scene EVER!!!!!! ACE!!!!!!!
The Freak does have some of the best lines "normally you just sit around and grunt" 😂
yeh she was so insulting when she said at least she doesnt have to hear him speak. lol
Also where the hell has Marty been for his mum when she's gone through all this??
Alex johnson the army.
BLAIR mcguire. he is in the navy
He’s in the Navy.
Alex johnson Marty was fired and was in another series at the time.
He's having it off with Randy's sister, Mandy Goodlove.
best era of the show ,myra best actress and top dog.
Highly scented fruit ---> Proctor! 😂🤣
11th October 2023.
You can see why Len Murphy's missus left him.
Ha ha ha ha Murphy is messing with Ferguson. I love it
I actually wanted Joan to be temporary governor this time, she is the lesser of two evils. at least she isnt trying to rape anyone or beating up other guards. Some times, the freak actually comes in handy, like getting rid of a few of these evil bitches.
Looks like Lou bit off more than she could chew 😂😂😂
Omg that music playing in Joyce and Norms house!
Lol yes terrible. Sounds like elevator music.
@ 7:01 - None of your f***ing business, Joyce.
How did Bobbie get to be such a good electrician. She wires up a plug and now she's fixing industrial dryer's. Bizzare.
she tightened up a door..........
33:45 That's a pretty cool phrase, I've never heard that one.
Oh my goodness Len Murray acting as governor
Why the hell are they letting Frank run around the prison!!!!!!
ok....going to bed with a roach is a new low!!
Meg can say "abortion" without batting an eye, but freaks out at "termination"?
Especially seeing the words "abort" and "terminate" mean the same thing. It means to "end" something.
I think it must have really hit home what she was about to do.
Lauren Brooks so you think she’s doing the wrong thing ?
@@michelleevans4948 I think she was wrong being there about to kill her baby.
Lauren Brooks I’m against abortion as much as the next person, only exception for me , I say, is when someone been raped
That prison is like a kinder garden nursery
Mrs Barry '' This place is a madhouse''. Has it taken all these years for Joyce to work that out ?? LOL
I don't think Joyce knows what day it is
Bernadette Lamb These days she doesn’t know what day it is, but long before Lou’s escape, Joyce was braver, stronger and good at her job. 😃
@@Summer21. I liked her character. She was good fun .
This men in a woman’s prison is ridiculous!
They exist in today's society, so not that ridiculous.🤷♂️
I love Geoff though. 😊
25:05 - “yes indeed! I would say that prayers of some sort would be in order!!...”
God I love the Freak!!! Xx
"Too old a cat to be done by a kitten" good man Len! Lol...
If Yahmeel wants to be a second rate citizen then let her. They're wasting their time trying to help someone that doesn't want to be helped.
15:08 best scene in this episode....in the right corner, Len 'Morph' Murphy....in the left corner, Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson!
(bell sounds)
Fergo and Len giving it giant...They're really dragging the arse out of this cockroach thing.
Freakzilla VS Gutzilla,
brilliant🤣🤣
I'm glad they use Bobbis picture at the start of Prisoner
I like Ray.
I knew Len Murphy would be trouble from the time Stan Dobson told Bobbi Mitchell to keep away from him as he is a wicked sadistic man, he’s a killer.
Whatever could have given you that clue?? Could it in fact have been that they pretty much told you?
Wow! I have been waiting for the ferguson-Murphy fight for a while. Had a feeling Murphy might win.Fast forward any scene involving Marlene and the cockroaches
This Cockroach thing is going on to long
It does come to an end soon. 😃
Best fight scene in cbh EVER!!!!!
''I have broken law and made bad hurt for someone. it is for punish i am deserve, not for help!'' Lol who the hell writes some of these scripts?
It's written like this as English is supposed to not be yemils mother tongue. But all fairness the majority of people from her country who have any grasp of English use better grammar than that.
It would sound better if she said "I've broken the law and hurt someone badly. I deserve to be punished, not helped".
I wish she had got chance to lock len in!
28:40 Look at the size of Len`s ears,
Dumbo!
Poor Joyce ):
I feel like people aren't commenting enough on how awful Frank's mustache is
17:10 Chris Sutton changed his Mercedes w123 car from an orange one to a cream one.
I've been teaching English for 15 years and I've never seen someone with Yamil's level of English master present perfect tense (the driver has died/ I have taken life) so easily. She can't manage present simple and past simple without lots of mistakes, but present perfect (the hardest tense for most foreigners to learn) is easy for her.
These days they'd do prequels, spin offs, remakes and reboots of it but I'm surprised a cinematic Americanised version hasn't been done yet.
I was disappointed that The Freak didn't get the better of Murphy in that fight! I was gunning for her with the low blow! lol
Murphy and his little choad 😂😂😂
I was rooting for Joan.
I can't stand Len Murphy!
Izaak Salazar Me too, and the last episode when she had Reb by the face.
marlene & pixie !! haha too funny.
I wish they didn't show so much of Meg outside of work. She's just not interesting to watch
yes sometimes I think you are right. they show her personal life A LOT. Although I don't like Ferguson, I actually enjoyed when they show her with the child , because it was interesting and she showed compassion. Meg , it's really crazy. look at how much stuff happens to her ALL the time.
meg is so boring that they have to create drama to keep her on the show
Sandy That's what all the soap operas of England and Australia have been doing for years with a lot of boring, unlikable, long-serving characters, who need to go permanently, but are still sadly there, and we don't want to go on a journey of their lives as it's the same old routine as usual.

Enough of the stupid cockroach story!!
I think Pixie and Bobbie are dancing to Driven to tears by The Police at 30:00. Does anyone else agree or know what else it might be ?
Maurie Fields' accent really suits his character Len.
Rabbit reminds me of grouch of Sesame Street
I think Joan could beat Murphy
I miss Bev the Beast, We traded her creeping around scaring everybody; making them all worry that they will be next. I miss Vera 'Vinegar Tits' Bennett. I would love to see her and the Freak compete for control.
Bobbi and Rabbit dancing together @ 29:45 goofy
Meg said when she answered the phone "Joan left 20minutes ago "it was joyce not Joan lol
At the very beginning- 0:56 how come Reb's cell has a doorway on one side, and a whole corridor to the other...?
@Lamp Shade Oh no, that was a cell in solitary that Reb was staying in for the evening before her transfer to Blackmoor. 😃
AT ONE OF THE LOGIE AWARDS THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD THE FREAK AND LEN MURPHY BE PRESENTERS TOGETHER.
I prefer the word termination over abortion, I hate that word!!
I want Len Murphy to stay on this show forever much better value as a villian then the Freak who's not at all been menacing since she got rid of Bea , if a piss ant like Reb can ride rough shot over her , well the Freak has no credibility left other then that of a pantomime dame. Len's the real deal and the best govorner so far he's also helped Bobby a lot and was kind to the token wog so he's not that bad .
way to go murphy.telling off the freak
Bobby says all the dryer needs is a screw driver... then Ferguson walks in.
Mrs. Barrie with her mushroom hairstyle and Aussie Archie Bunker husband.. lol
Lmao the dead roach was one of the end scenes😅
THESE PRISON WORKERS MUST BE DOING OK THERE ALL DRIVING BMW'S.
Where do you see BMW's? I only see Chris driving a Mercedes.
Len Murphy would make an excellent deputy for Ernest Craven (Blackmoor Prison)....................
I thought that Jude was only joking when I saw her the first time donning that baseball cap- turns out I was wrong.....very wrong...

11th October 2023.
She was making out she couldn't understand as didn't want her family finding out she was in there
I don't see how people that work in those kinds of places even sleep at night after performing "terminations" as that woman called it.

My thoughts of Pixie has changed since her first appearance.
Love pixie
From what I remember pixie has the saddest ending of almost everyone 😭 she definitely grows on u from when she first came in 😭😭
My memory says yes, but we'll soon see if he mentions it during his stint on the series, i guess.
Will Judy take that ridiculous cap off her head
Joan too len 7 letter word len proctor wonder if that was off cuff lol
Save you getting up don't do me any favours 🤣😅
