12.47am Penzance, England Delighted to find Prisoner on a late night spot. Watch it every night. BEST SERIAL EVER. Love all the characters. It's over 40 years now, actually 45 years, and I watched it from 1979. Sad to read Frankie (Carol) passed away. We were born same year. They are all wearing well...Please keep showing it. Karen Brockman, Penzance, Cornwall, ENGLAND.
@@rosiew1952 Karen Travers is the most attractive woman in the show so far (I've reached episode 429 out of 692), although she hasn't aged quite as well as some other people in the show.
Pixie was lovely but don’t forget ’chooky’ Egbert aka mrs Kennedy in neighbours 😍😍 also a women called Linda Hartley in real life!! She was smoking hot too😜😜
Hahaha, thanks for posting! 👍I love the focus on the very early episodes here. Some nice little interviews too, especially with Carol - she seemed like she was a lovely woman.
Pixie Mason and Colleen Powell recently passed away in the last year very sad. And mum is a hundred and three and she is still alive but I guess she doesn't trouble that's why they didn't put her in the reunion but that probably would have been a big thing if she could have been there
I don't know how to edit my comment the comment was supposed to say I guess she doesn't travel well at her age and that's why they didn't they did not include her in the Big Reunion this year
I don't think we had it in Britain until a few years after it was shown in Australia. We used to talk about what we saw on the series the night before in Oxford College of FE hairdressing classes in 1987-88.
It was on tv in early 00s in U.K. that’s when I seen it and fell in love with the show also me and my friends would say are you team Bea or team Frankie as a few of my friends loved Frankie I was like yeah Frankie is funny and at times did feel sorry for her but it was team Bea
Another great favourite of mine and my mum in law in U.K. Wentworth, the updated version is not a patch on this? Frankie Doyle was my all time favourite, just like me, batty as they came?
@@shawneecherrypie4331 It's too dark and depressing. It doesn't have the mix of drama and humour and warmth and shock that the original had. I know it's not meant to be the same I just don't like what the new one offers.
Carol Burns (RIP) (Ex-Franky) was so popular that when she "died", The LGBT Pride Parade in San Francisco had a Hearse for her. I hope that they do a tribute to PCBH. Them not getting residuals isn't surprising. The Brady Bunch Cast to this day never got "Residuals" and a lot of Actors from the 1970's were in the same Boat on US TV. The Cast Members of Happy Days sued Paramount that sold The Show to CBS and they settled for a pittance. Marion Ross (Mrs. C) saw a Slot Machine in Las Vegas, NV and she noticed that Licensing Rights weren't acknowledged to her or The Cast.
I do Brady halls I love Lizzie and Bea and Bea look like my mum and it’s was great when Rita got the FREAK arrested before she died I’m 49 years old next month and Bea smith got her daughters on there
Love prisoner cell block h should have made a bit more if I was a script writer at the time I would have brought bea back for a final showdown with the freak
There was actually a series of six books that came out in Canada told the story of some of the women. Karen, Vera, Erica, Bea, Franky are the ones I had. They seemed very explicit to me at the time. My mum threw them out when I moved out.🥲
And sadly some of these fine and beloved women are no longer with us anymore, may they rest in peace 😪😢😭
I Remembered Susan Burns as Franky Doyle THE BEST
It was Carol Burns who played Frankie
And Judith McGrath who played Colleen Powell is also no longer with us.
@@sbug2705she'll always be Po-Face to us blockies
Yeah Lizzie is gone and Frankie too
Mrs. Davidson was truly classy! I still watch episodes everyday! Queen Bea 4 Life!
Absolutely brilliant I’m a massive fan of the show I watch it all the time I’m obsessed ❤
I have rarely seen interviews with Elspeth, so that was nice to see her.

Karen Brockman,
Penzance, Cornwall,
ENGLAND.
Fiona Spence has a gorgeous smile. She seems like a beautiful person :)
+Jojo1311 Fiona has never minded still being called Vinegar T...
These ladies are way better then those Wentworth actors
Still a talented bunch on wentworth as well.
They are a great bunch. You're just stuck on nostalgia
Are you getting psychiatric treatment?
@@shawneecherrypie4331
Not everyone has to love any tv show.
And nostalgia wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with it.
No disrespect to you but Val Lehman and Maggie Kirkpatrick have been very pleased with Wentworth cast. ❤️🫶🏾
Erica still looks the same, amazingly.
Andy JS she does fair play and also Karen Travers looks fantastic .they haven't seemed to age much .love the programme
@@rosiew1952 Karen Travers is the most attractive woman in the show so far (I've reached episode 429 out of 692), although she hasn't aged quite as well as some other people in the show.
I thought the actresses who played Lynn Warner, Roz Colsen and surprisingly when they cleaned her up, Lou Kelly, were very good looking.
@@markxxx21 Lynne Warner is currently in Neighbours. The actress is 60 but looks a bit younger.
Pixie was lovely but don’t forget ’chooky’ Egbert aka mrs Kennedy in neighbours 😍😍 also a women called Linda Hartley in real life!! She was smoking hot too😜😜
Im 13 and i watch it and i find it amazing my friends find me wierd i dont know why its sooo good xxxx
Loved this as a child
Nothing weird about liking it. It’s a really good show.
Hahaha, thanks for posting! 👍I love the focus on the very early episodes here. Some nice little interviews too, especially with Carol - she seemed like she was a lovely woman.
Cell Block H... I was sad when Frankie died. I was a kid and used to watch this after the Benny Hill Show. 🍺😎👍
It was sad and sadly the actress passed in real life due to cancer 🥲
The day Carol Burns died I heard the song she,s. a Lady by Tom Jones .I still think of the Lovely Great Carol Burns
absolutely brilliant...love love love oz shows
I am on episode 402, I miss Bea, Vera and Davo already.
This was very popular in the U.S. in the early 80’s. I was hooked!!
Love this show from age 13 to age 54 yes the one guy was right. Bad girl high schoolers in love with the show in the 80s💗💗💗 and still do
Pixie Mason and Colleen Powell recently passed away in the last year very sad. And mum is a hundred and three and she is still alive but I guess she doesn't trouble that's why they didn't put her in the reunion but that probably would have been a big thing if she could have been there

Press the 3 small dots at the side of your comment.
I love it. I was smiling through the entire video. It’s a yes from me.
I don't think we had it in Britain until a few years after it was shown in Australia. We used to talk about what we saw on the series the night before in Oxford College of FE hairdressing classes in 1987-88.
Shown 10 years later in the UK (1988 to 1996 for the most part).
Awesome, dam I’m old

Excellent thoroughly enjoyed!
Loved PRISONER CELL BLOCK H
Another great favourite of mine and my mum in law in U.K. Wentworth, the updated version is not a patch on this? Frankie Doyle was my all time favourite, just like me, batty as they came?
Wentworth is a reimagining it's not meant to be the same
@@shawneecherrypie4331 It's too dark and depressing. It doesn't have the mix of drama and humour and warmth and shock that the original had. I know it's not meant to be the same I just don't like what the new one offers.
Fiona Spence was awesome 👍
Great story! I recently watched the very final episode, a great reminder of the fantastic characters,storyline’s and performances. Love retro drama!
I absolutely loved the show, didn't miss one, & yrs later I saw it rerun on TV, they were good times, obviously we were younger then!😉lol.

Would be amazing to meet them that s were iam from Scotland Glasgow
Meg was the only original left on it and Erica is in her 90’s now and Meg is in her 80’s
10:36 I'm just waiting for Po face to spark up a cigarette 😂
I do Brady halls I love Lizzie and Bea and Bea look like my mum and it’s was great when Rita got the FREAK arrested before she died I’m 49 years old next month and Bea smith got her daughters on there
frankys eyes look like the wiches eyes in the wizard of oz when shes angry!!!
Bea was great I liked her Val Lehman
Love prisoner cell block h should have made a bit more if I was a script writer at the time I would have brought bea back for a final showdown with the freak
This isn’t Pentridge, this is the Old Melbourne Gaol in the CBD!
it was one of the first shows with strong female characters
actually 692 episodes
Toppano ended up with Quinn didnt work out she was a honey
Mrs Davidson.
I love Pepe Trevor but I can never find anything about her
there's a long interview on youtube now on one of the channels, she's nicer and not irritating at all unlike her character lol
@@NickSBailey haha yes I’ve watched it she’s the complete opposite of her character she did a great job x
Davo didn't have her posh accent.
Miss Jackson think she went on to star in neighbours
Ladies were gorgoues!
Kerry Armstrong did NOT play Karen.
Half of them are dead now r in there 80s or early 90s now
Its a shame Wentworth blackened the name of this great show.
It didn't.
@Julie McIntyre. Yep. And it won't be talked about nearly 44 years later either
You lagger, stroof
Terrible interviewer
This is so old
There was actually a series of six books that came out in Canada told the story of some of the women. Karen, Vera, Erica, Bea, Franky are the ones I had. They seemed very explicit to me at the time. My mum threw them out when I moved out.🥲
