Me and my Mum used to watch this show when it came on at night and we absolutely loved it I remember them all it was an absolutely fantastic show ..RIP all the characters of the show you will not be forgotten...and thank you so much for sharing ,,
I was too young to remember this show but I like to look up tv personalities who have passed away. in 5 years I'll be 50. I remember being in my teens like as if it were just yesterday. Life is indeed short.
I loved prisoner when i was a kid back in the 80s. My brother and I would stay up late just to watch it and be absolutely knackered for school the following day, and it was worth it.
Blimey this was sad. I grew up watching this when I got in from school (80s UK). Hard to believe how young some were when they passed and astounding the ages some reached 😮❤
Such an immense show with such brilliant actors in it. I am watching the series on youtube still today, it's that good. RIP to every PCBH Actor who has sadly passed away. God bless you are all legends never forgotten. 🙏🕊.
Wow can't believe Mary Ward lived to 106. I have every episode of PCBH on dvd and watch it often. Sad to see so many beloved characters are gone, but it did stop airing almost 40 years ago.
My wife's grandmother was in 11 episodes, playing several different characters, most notably Betty Collins in S5. She passed a few months ago. RIP Babs Wheelton.
Yes, I just read that she passed on very recently. My condolences. According to the fandom page she played 3 roles; ''Babs Wheelton is known for playing several roles in 'Prisoner'; Betty Collins, Mrs Burke and Thelma Turner.'' However, I am most certain she also played Louisa Burns, the mother of Kevin Burns who married Dor. 28th December 2024.
I just loved Lizzy and Queen Bea, such a great series. I watch it till the very end, an amazing production. Rest in peace to all who has passed and thanks for all that you gave ❤
I moved away to an area without TV reception about 18 months before it ended and it was years later before I finally got to watch them. It was the main thing I missed about leaving civilisation.
One of my fondest memories of high school was a tour our class did of the prisoner set here at Channel 10, Melbourne.. we walked through the laundry just as cast were coming in for a shoot … what a buzz as we all called out to Pixie, and others, who kindly waved and called gidday… What a wonderful show.
A very moving tribute am crying as i am watching the complete series on you tube.Thank you all for great moments .Better than what is to be seen today BLESS YOU ALL x
@@stephenoneill2844And all of those were parodied mercilessly on Fast forward, Full Frontal, the Late Show, etc. Great times for television, when reality TV was actually reality.
I remember watching a few episodes in the mid 80s. But luckily here in UK they are streaming series 1 - 3 on My5. My mum & I absolutely love it. Mum has moderate Alzheimers, but she really loves this. We are addicted!
Prisoner was a favourite in Aussieland, I was in high school at the time. Very good, high-rated TV series. Thank you for this tribute to the actors that have passed. Very sad to see so many are no longer with us but glad that many of them still are eg. Val Lehman, Kerry Armstrong, Elspeth Ballantyne, Fiona Spence, Collette Mann, Gerard MaGuire. 🇦🇺
Remember having to be home every single Tuesday and Thursday night in order to watch Prisoner. You couldn't do anything else because you knew you couldn't miss an episode. It was this show that instilled in me never again to get that caught up in a TV show where it runs your life. Still, it was the best show ever and a blessed RIP to all those who have passed. You entertained us all for many, many years.
They also missed out Anne Haddy who played Doreen's mother, Alice Hemmings, and Helen Noonan who played prison receptionist Wendy Scott and Penny Ramsey who played Leila Fletcher, Jim's wife and finally Adrian Wright who played evil nurse Neil Murray and Detective Graham Lang who used and abused Vera and then dumped her, Pat Bishop who was Toni McNally the gangsters wife, and Bill Hunter who was gangster George Lucas. But I suppose there were some people they had to miss out.
Prisoner's cell block h was a great program to be able to see what a great program this was I watched this with my mum and I think it's the best time to look back with the great idea
Way back in primary school we went on a school excursion to the studio set & we also went to Russell st police station because 1 of the students her father was i think a sergeant there and teed it up with her father. The prisoner tv set cells were unfortunately not real walls they moved when nudged. Gr8 tv show Gr8 memories
Such an amazing programme…. Loved it in the 80s and just started watching it all over again on 5. Where do the years go!! So many have passed and to cancer…so sad!!
Aah same thing here too, i only started watching it about one year before it ended in the UK as it was about 10 years behind Australia and then Channel 5 started re runs so i could watch it from the beginning.
My mum used to go mad because i stayed up late watching it. I think it came on about 11-1130pm on ITV right twice per week. I was about 16 at the time then i could watch the re runs on channel 5.
so many that died from cancer, and watching and rewatching and seeing the amount of cigarettes smoked on the show sometimes took my own breath away...and you look at Mum lived to be 106, amazing....the death of Steve faulkner really got me, such a young man of 31, and loved his smile...all brilliant actors...this to me is the best series every produced..
Omg Prisoner. What a show. Me and all of my sister's use to sneak into the lounge room late at night to watch our favorite show. I remember ever single person on this amazing show. RIP to every single person that died. I really miss the Prisoner. I wish they put Prisoner back on free to air.
Wow I feel so old. Watched and loved this show from beginning to end. I remember every character mentioned here. Tv is just not the same anymore, all the good shows are gone.
Lizzie was my downstairs neighbour, in real life she spoke like the queen an had a lovely apartment in st kilda and invited me for afternoon tea. Lovely lady.
R.I.P. Loved all these people on this programme and when you grow up watching them you forget they were older than you, still comes as a shock that they are all dead
Just had to start watching again from the start.it brings so much back.ive cried so much over this.time an time again god bless them all.😢😢😢.r.i.p.all.❤❤❤
I remember me and my dad were driving through st kilda around 89-90 and dad pointed to a building with a balcony. He pointed to the balcony and Sheila Florence was there walking on her balcony. I waved and she waved back at me.
Loved this show and watched it as a kid about a year before it came to an end. It came on at about 11pm or so, twice per week. Had to start from the beginning when they started to air it again on Channel 5 in the UK from the late 90s. Those women looked rough … so the Freak and Queen Bee still alive eh? They were my favourites. Vera Vinegar Tits rings a bell too lol.
First watched Prisoner in the late 80s/early 90s in the UK. Now watching it through for the 3rd or 4th time on youtube. This time I started watching it from when Sandy Edwards entered and thought, I'll give it a watch for a while. Now on Episode 535. RIP to all those who have left us and quite frightening, some of those oldies as I saw them 30 plus years ago, were a lot younger than me now at 54.
Arrr this is so sad 😓 Iv been watching cell block since the age 20 & now 37 years on still watching..I’m on esp 410 lots more to come.. But when you watch cell block as iv have done for years.!!! you really don’t realise until to see this video we have lost so many of them 😢 And I’m sure in many years come il see be watching them and as I grow older they look younger & younger ❤
Yeah lizzie .. she was a favourite of mine with bea smith ....used to watch it early 80s. ...... ❤yeah it was the show to watch in its time ... .its on now on the tv .........old early episodes .. ... A real good watch in its day .....❤❤
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW, I USED 2 WATCH IT WITH MY MUM WEN I WAS JUST A KID & NOW I'M WATCHING IT ALL OVER AGAIN ON UTUBE, I AM CURRENTLY ON EPISODE 276 & AM LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT😁😁❤️❤️.
The quality of the acting aswell as the plots scripts et al in Eastenders are far worse. Especially over the last decade or so Beyond dreadful in fact. Painfully unwatchable. Bad in a loathsome way as opposed to PCBH which was funny (if unintentionally so lol)
It was fab and yeah i also realised the sets wobbled lol, but it was quite violent and the women looked rough. Amazing acting! When the Freak used to put on her glove,, eeeekk
Ran into Judith McGrath at a supermarket in Brisbane about yrs before her death. If you want to see more of her work, check out a series called 'All Saints', she played nurse Von.
" And now its off to the wobbly walls of Wentworth prison and the ladies of prisioner cell block H" this was the announcer every thursday night, 10.40 pm on border tv back in the late 80' early 90's. Great memories
You left out Pat Bishop (1946 - 2000) who played Antonia McNally, the wife of a notorious gangster for a few episodes. She died on March 28, 2000 after a battle with cancer, aged 53. She is also known for her role in the Bruce Beresford 1976 film "Don's Party".
We would all stay to watch the credits as that haunting song "On the Inside" would play, mum loved that song. Prisoner, Cop Shop, A Country Practice, the Sullivans, Kingswood Country - what a golden era of T.V.
I'm from England and was born in 1970, so i was a Teenager when this was shown, i remember coming back from the Clubs/Pubs in the early hours and this was on TV.. Watched it with a Kebab, Salad and Chips..
Rob Steele who played Colleen Powell's husband Patrick. 18 episodes, born 1945 died May 14th 2022. Taught film making in Wollongong in the 2000s and moved to Bomaderry later on. I used to talk to him when I saw him in Nowra. I was one of his students. Very underrated actor. I first saw him in Breaker Morant.
Was the best show on tv when i was young remember watching it with my dad and my sisters i just loved lizzy birdsworth she was brilliant. A shame quite a few of the cast have passed on.
Me and my Mum used to watch this show when it came on at night and we absolutely loved it I remember them all it was an absolutely fantastic show ..RIP all the characters of the show you will not be forgotten...and thank you so much for sharing ,,
Do you remember Rita Connors, and lexie
I watched it with my late mum too. Happy memories 😊❤
Likewise with my late Mum! We used to watch those Hammer Horror films together too - miss you Mum x
My mum threatened me with cell block H if I ever forgot to press the record button😂
@ a night of terror with Bea Smith 🤣
All dead .. very sad how short all our lives are. Cant believe in 5 years il be 60 we used to watch this avidly as teenagers ,never missed an episode.
No, not all dead. Many still with us as of December 2024
I was too young to remember this show but I like to look up tv personalities who have passed away. in 5 years I'll be 50. I remember being in my teens like as if it were just yesterday. Life is indeed short.
I loved prisoner when i was a kid back in the 80s. My brother and I would stay up late just to watch it and be absolutely knackered for school the following day, and it was worth it.
@@TheMancMod01 Did you do late night Fridays though? Hammer House of Horror double bill and the bonus lie in on Saturday morning 👍
@robertwilson7498 Yes, i used to stay at my grandparents' house and watch them with my grandad.
@ great times. 👍❤️

Sheila Florence was so good as Lizzie. God bless her.x
My favourite Aussie show ever. I met a few of them when they were filming on location at a school where I taught in Box Hill. Happy memories.
So pleased that Mrs Davidson is still with us. Saw her and other cast members in the live show at Wimbledon Theatre 30+ years ago!
Such an immense show with such brilliant actors in it.
I am watching the series on youtube still today, it's that good. RIP to every PCBH Actor who has sadly passed away.
God bless you are all legends never forgotten. 🙏🕊.
R. I. P to these wonderful people! I see you left out, Mr Maurie Fields who was a legend!
Such a fantastic show. Loved it! So many great actors and characters lost. RIP⚘️
Wow can't believe Mary Ward lived to 106. I have every episode of PCBH on dvd and watch it often. Sad to see so many beloved characters are gone, but it did stop airing almost 40 years ago.
I'm shocked as well.
My wife's grandmother was in 11 episodes, playing several different characters, most notably Betty Collins in S5. She passed a few months ago. RIP Babs Wheelton.
Oh! I recently watched again, including the Driscoll House episodes where she appeared. RIP Babs Wheelton!
Yes, I just read that she passed on very recently. My condolences. According to the fandom page she played 3 roles;
''Babs Wheelton is known for playing several roles in 'Prisoner'; Betty Collins, Mrs Burke and Thelma Turner.''
However, I am most certain she also played Louisa Burns, the mother of Kevin Burns who married Dor.

Lizzie loved her grog

This is a beautiful tribute. Thank you for your efforts.
Here in IRELAND we got all of these Aussie exports in the 80's.
Now you’re getting all the exports from Africa ✊🏿
I didnt know that
Didn’t know that
@@stephenireland3816 A Country Practice, The Sullivan's, Son 's & Daughter's, Prisoner Cell block H, Home & Away, Neighbours, we even had Skippy.
@@stephenoneill2844And all of those were parodied mercilessly on Fast forward, Full Frontal, the Late Show, etc. Great times for television, when reality TV was actually reality.
Thanks for sharing, loved this shows, RIP everyone 🙏
Loved Prisoner Cell Block H when I was young, Cancer took so many of them too. Such an evil disease that also took my Mum and Grandad.
I remember watching a few episodes in the mid 80s. But luckily here in UK they are streaming series 1 - 3 on My5. My mum & I absolutely love it. Mum has moderate Alzheimers, but she really loves this. We are addicted!

I just started rewatching it all again from the beginning, and still love it.
Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8.30pm on channel 10. Everybody tuned in.

Thanks so much for putting together such a touching tribute.
So great and lovely video! It's sad how almost everyone from the show now is dead... Btw you missed Arkie Whiteley, Peter Adams and Lois Ramsey.
They also missed out Anne Haddy who played Doreen's mother, Alice Hemmings, and Helen Noonan who played prison receptionist Wendy Scott and Penny Ramsey who played Leila Fletcher, Jim's wife and finally Adrian Wright who played evil nurse Neil Murray and Detective Graham Lang who used and abused Vera and then dumped her, Pat Bishop who was Toni McNally the gangsters wife, and Bill Hunter who was gangster George Lucas. But I suppose there were some people they had to miss out.
I grew up watching this program. Loved every episode. Was glued to it all over again when they ran the re-runs late at night decades later.
Watched every episode from the UK on after midnight tv. Loved it.
Prisoner's cell block h was a great program to be able to see what a great program this was I watched this with my mum and I think it's the best time to look back with the great idea

Wow I feel so old. Watched and loved this show from beginning to end. I remember every character mentioned here. Tv is just not the same anymore, all the good shows are gone.
Prisoner is one of my favourite shows. I’ve watched it through three times. I’ve very attached to these characters and actors. This is a sad video 😢
Lizzie was my downstairs neighbour, in real life she spoke like the queen an had a lovely apartment in st kilda and invited me for afternoon tea. Lovely lady.
Loved this programme & still watching the re-runs!!
R.I.P. Loved all these people on this programme and when you grow up watching them you forget they were older than you, still comes as a shock that they are all dead
So many. So young even when they weren't. This left me in tears i didn't know we had lost so many. I loved them all. RIP all. Never be forgotten.
So Doreen and Queen Bea are still going strong. Great to hear!!

Prisoner. An Aussie icon. And part of my life. An amazing show with incredible Australian actors. ❤❤❤❤
Grew up watching the show back in the mid 80's. So sad to see many of my favourite characters in the series gone.
What a show, what a legacy. So many of these actors gone way before their time. ❤
Prisoner was a great show always will be mine got the big boxset I have u have social media love to chat to u about prisoner

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW, I USED 2 WATCH IT WITH MY MUM WEN I WAS JUST A KID & NOW I'M WATCHING IT ALL OVER AGAIN ON UTUBE, I AM CURRENTLY ON EPISODE 276 & AM LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT😁😁❤️❤️.
I watched the original cast as a high school teen, and I loved watching it, especially bea smith and frankie doyle episodes 😊
I know the sets wobbled, but this show was brilliant, my favorite characters was judy bryant and Bea Smith, I must look up the show again.
The quality of the acting aswell as the plots scripts et al in Eastenders are far worse. Especially over the last decade or so Beyond dreadful in fact. Painfully unwatchable. Bad in a loathsome way as opposed to PCBH which was funny (if unintentionally so lol)
I loved Doreen. Used to love watching it with my mum.
It was fab and yeah i also realised the sets wobbled lol, but it was quite violent and the women looked rough. Amazing acting! When the Freak used to put on her glove,, eeeekk
Thanks for the tribute. A great show that had a brilliant song - On the Inside - by Lynne Hamilton.
loved this show and all its players rip to those that have passed
'Mum' was still around till recently? Wow that was some going. Part of the original cast. Awesome actress ❤
I used to watch this on a Thursday Evening at 22.30pm when i wasnt working in the early eighties in my late teens. Tony in Portsmouth England
Ran into Judith McGrath at a supermarket in Brisbane about yrs before her death. If you want to see more of her work, check out a series called 'All Saints', she played nurse Von.
Ahhhh this is making me wanna binge watch pcbh again for the 5th time in 3 years lol absolutely loved this gem of a program
I loved this and watched it every time, rest in love
i'm shocked at the number who have died of lung cancer - i thought it would have been a lot more!
Still watching this Aussie classic .
" And now its off to the wobbly walls of Wentworth prison and the ladies of prisioner cell block H" this was the announcer every thursday night, 10.40 pm on border tv back in the late 80' early 90's. Great memories
The wobbliest set was on crossroads
I loved this programme, brought back many memories...gotta love Meg (The Good Screw) and Vera Vinegar Tit's! 😅
Used to watch this with my mum when I was a kid early 80s used to be on in the afternoons in NZ.
You left out Pat Bishop (1946 - 2000) who played Antonia McNally, the wife of a notorious gangster for a few episodes.
She died on March 28, 2000 after a battle with cancer, aged 53. She is also known for her role in the Bruce Beresford 1976 film "Don's Party".
We would all stay to watch the credits as that haunting song "On the Inside" would play, mum loved that song. Prisoner, Cop Shop, A Country Practice, the Sullivans, Kingswood Country - what a golden era of T.V.
I'm from England and was born in 1970, so i was a Teenager when this was shown, i remember coming back from the Clubs/Pubs in the early hours
and this was on TV.. Watched it with a Kebab, Salad and Chips..
I think this series was aired on UK TV in the 90's I seem to remember it being shown in the early hours , there was naff all else to watch back then .
I watched prisoner as a kid with my mum and nan, Wow how time has passed
Loved that show and all the characters! RIP😢
Rob Steele who played Colleen Powell's husband Patrick. 18 episodes, born 1945 died May 14th 2022. Taught film making in Wollongong in the 2000s and moved to Bomaderry later on. I used to talk to him when I saw him in Nowra. I was one of his students. Very underrated actor. I first saw him in Breaker Morant.
Was the best show on tv when i was young remember watching it with my dad and my sisters i just loved lizzy birdsworth she was brilliant. A shame quite a few of the cast have passed on.
Great cast members RIP
