When I used to watch Prisoner in the 90's, I knew how long an episode lasts and knew something dramatic would happen at the end and looked forward to it, as it did in this episode. No T.V show has ever gripped me as much as Prisoner.
so in 7 years Meg had 2 husbands, and 7 lovers, lived in 8 places, and had one son with 3 different heads, and yet some people still call that sweet officer Joan the freak instead?
lol I know, I've always found Meg to be your typical self righteous fool who feels justified in doing the exact same thing they disapprove of others...HYPOCRITE! Meg was just your fine example of what they call a "loose woman" especially in those days anyway. I always thought it was funny how her husband was barely cold before she got it on with the doc (which really was the most unrealistic pairing even for a drama show)
The writers and directors do dictate how the actors are supposed to act out scenes... the actors themselves don't just take it upon themselves to yell out their lines lol. So the blame can go to the playwriters who maintained the character of Lexie. They should have had her calm down a bit.
Merle Jones, brilliant actress, Ive worked with people with learning difficulties like her and shes playing her part very well. But how dare Anne Reynolds tell Maxwell all about her case history. So much for confidentiality!
pjw85 Totally agree ,Rita and Lurch are the ones making it for me, also Vicky starts to get a bigger role which is good because she`s quite a good actor, Blackmoor`s a wee while away yet but Spike and Brumby are good characters, and then comes Ernest Craven.
I'm almost on the verge of doing it to Rita. I did like her the first time I watched it. This time around she is taking awhile to like...she's a complete nincompoop! Not the brightest crayons in the packet this lot!
jason core Yes, we have seen many different "Marty" characters since this series started! Maybe, this time we will even get a "gay" Marty.....just to throw dear old Mom Meg for another loop!? LOL
I cannot stand Nancy! Eggbert has to tell Rita and the other women about the diary! It's a form of lagging. I can't believe how stupid Nancy is, to think that nobody else would find it. Give her a bashing!
She covered for it instantly by saying that they can't tell Rita because she would get her bikie mates on to her. Like anyone would care if Joan got done over.
Kath Maxwell and Merle Jones were so great in their mutual scenes. In a subtile way, one can see that Kath is a kind and understanding person, even though she’s hiding it from all the others except Merle. That’s why Kath, IMO, are a more belivable character than many of the other antagonists. Love the 1986 season, so far!
He's replaced himself with an imposter twice, just as a harmless prank to see if his mum notices- which so far, she hasn't. Next time he visits her he's going to turn up in full drag.
He's been in the Navy, and around the block a bit, if you know what I mean! lol. And I wonder why Randi Goodluv never came up in conversation with his mum when he returned... would have made a good gruesome storyline if he discovered her rotting corpse in the boiler room. Damn, that boiler room must have stunk!
Yes - LOL indeed. What a giveaway those three letters are. Now - let me tell you about the name. It was only the name of a King of Wessex, but clearly you didn’t even have the brains to look the name up before you wrote something so bloody ignorant.
I love how Nancy gets an apology from Julie for stuffing up her parole, but they were all quick to blame Kath. They are all pathetic. I want Kath to stuff them up.
Alice (Lurch) , lol just realized the other lady is named Alice too, can fight too. She was Lou’s heavy remember? They could take on two each. All they needed was maybe one or two more girls. Lexies not bad she’s just pregnant.
The reason Rita and the warriors gave Maxwell a hard time was because they thought she was a lagger! When they realise it's Nancys diary they could've said sorry at least.
I think Meg needs to invest in a pair of jam jar like glasses, ones like Joyce's. Meg cant see that it's not her son but a middle aged man that looks about her age.
42:31 "Revecca Dines"? What an appalling typing error. Still not seeing Rita's mugshot in the opening credits. Janet is still without lip gloss. Since Lexie's been pregnant it seems like she's shouting for two.
TallSilentGuy Since she got pregnant!? Loud Lexie has always been a pain in the ass! She is so annoying! Her crappy dialogues just consist mostly of her either trying to "sic" Rita .... like an attack dog .....on any other prisoner that Lexie doesn't like OR screaming like a banshee about something, anything that she wants to run her big mouth off about. Furthermore, she constantly jumps to violent and confrontational conclusions without evidence or facts to back her up. Her solution to any problem is always to think the worst of others --- and then she gets all weepy and full of self-pity -- when she discovers that no one really respects her or believes that she is a true mate. She is quite obnoxious! Everyone.....even Lexie's own mother knows that Lexie inevitably.....thinks only about what she imagines is best for herself! I would not trust her as far as I could throw her!
after being in martial arts for over 30 years and teaching for 20 of those years, let me assure you, pretty much EVERYTHING can be turned into a weapon, some are just more effective than others but a hairbrush can be a pretty good one.
This show has gone so far downhill so fast that the best part about watching is the comment section on these videos. So close to finishing now though. Can't wait to start over and watch the great episodes again.
+Mark Sturge you've fortunately lead a sheltered life, after modified toothbrushes and combs the hairbrush is the next most common weapon in women's prisons and has been used in multiple assaults and even murders, in fact they are banned in some places.
Anyone that remembers Hedonism Bot from Futurama will appreciate my nickname for Marie Trevor, Nepotism Bot, because her little Penelope is the centre of the camera from day 1.
@@Sensabaugh Pepe Trevor (Lexie) is her niece. She really is quite shit at acting yet managed to somehow become one of the main characters and stayed there
Merle and Freak are the only ones making the series work...Though its getting pretty hard to carry the load! Lexie doesn't deserve a kid when she clearly got murder in her eyes. Look at how she was with the Eve killing and how Lurch used to want to know what it was like cutting up people etc. I'm glad its just a show, otherwise you would be begging the Freak to do her job and kill them off!
Why does it feel like bits have been cut? I.E when Kath and Rita meet behind the shed. It seems as if it’s been cut as it seemed to just cut to Lexi and Lori with the camcorder. This happens on a number of episodes. And it’s been over 20 years since I watched them on TV and then, they didn’t seem cut
Yea. I distinctly remember a scene with Doreen jumping on the chair in the rec room and reciting a comedy. It was hilarious I literally watched it two more times and on both watches didn’t see it. I think the first version I saw someone else uploaded. There definitely different versions out there.
3 brilliant characters in at the same time. I'm feeling spoiled for now. Love Kath. Fantastic character, fantastically played. Merle is an excellent foil for Kath. Gives her even more depth with how Kath ends up so protective of Merle. A woman ostensibly introduced to be Kath's protector of course. Then there's Lorelei. This section's comedic relief. Who of course has the lowdown on Joannie. AND.. We're down to 24 episodes left of the PCBH pox that is Lexie! Counting every second till she's finally gone. I'm on my 5th go through this time. But I'm never watching the show again after this time. I can't face having to suffer through Lexie ever again. It takes too much out of me. The mere sight of her is making me angry by this point.
29:40. When Merle pulls up the Bench Press handle there's only 1 weight on it, but when she lowers it in the close up there's about 10 weights on it. Reynolds tells Kath Merles history & Kath still goes on to use Merle for her own ends, shows you what type of person Kath is. If Lexie miscarries then Merle'll be a kid killer too. 42.33. Flight Coordinator? Can't remember any flying scenes.
The way Joan is standing there banging on Steve's mum's door. She looks stupid with her butch look, her butch uniform and carrying that damn handbag bahahahaha!
Why do women who are supposed to be pregnant on this show never have even a slight baby bump? lol. Lexi is supposed to be about 4 months by now. All those weights in the "gym" could be used to kill.
Never understood why Lexie isn’t in maternity. And wow now Lexie cares about putting her child at risk ? But also the writers are the real kid killers. Rare when someone doesn’t miscarry 😅
Lexie's a pretty girl, it's just her rotten behaviour and yelling all the time that gets on your nerves. If her behaviour matches her new toned down look, she'd be nice.
When I used to watch Prisoner in the 90's, I knew how long an episode lasts and knew something dramatic would happen at the end and looked forward to it, as it did in this episode. No T.V show has ever gripped me as much as Prisoner.
jiggarypokery I'm at the end of this the third time around! It is comforting , weird but true.
Agree.
In those days it was the only Aussie drama I'd watch and totally look forward to the next episode.
so in 7 years Meg had 2 husbands, and 7 lovers, lived in 8 places, and had one son with 3 different heads, and yet some people still call that sweet officer Joan the freak instead?
Not to mention being beaten up by Jeff, getting blown up in the warehouse and roughed up by Frank Burke...LOL
Meg is a bit of a slapper for sure.
lol but joan is not sweet

Oh but if it was a man he would be called a stud. All his friends would envy him. Such double standards in this society.
Lexie - "maybe if I scream loudly enough they will give me actor of the year".

Yes but ann didn't disclose a real medical history just some broad highlights re her background

suddenly the producers have told everybody to start screaming it's really bloody annoying
Oh dear, mrs ryan has tried to scam the freak..
I love the slow pace of this show compared to modern TV dramas.
Meg and Joan have that conversation about blackmail in front of that officer in the phone.
big big thanks to you for putting these up, love it :-)
33:30 Kath, that hairbrush is sooooo scary!
Get out or......I'll brush your hair!
A hairbrush CAN be an excellent weapon in the right hands.
I thought Joan inherited money from her father and he must've had a house retiring as a miltary major ?
Merle Jones, one of the best characters in the show
Marty was pudgy faced 15 year old when the show started, and now 7 years later, he should be 22 but he looks more like 35. wtf?
He's replaced himself with an imposter twice, just as a harmless prank to see if his mum notices- which so far, she hasn't. Next time he visits her he's going to turn up in full drag.
The new actor looks about 25 to me.
He had brown hair as a teen too so that's weird

I would have liked to have seen Merle go after Nancy and beat her up! Kath was right about Nancy, she was a hypocrite.
Merle goes storming out of the cell and into the gym. That scene was funny!
Yeah, the way she burst through the doors... BAM! LOL
18:20 “that other walking skyscraper” 😂
Why does Lexi want a gang vs gang war, it's obvious they would lose only Rita can fight from their side.
Alice (Lurch) , lol just realized the other lady is named Alice too, can fight too. She was Lou’s heavy remember? They could take on two each. All they needed was maybe one or two more girls. Lexies not bad she’s just pregnant.
Meg and Andrew should get together since they're both fond of cooking casseroles.

When they realise it's Nancys diary they could've said sorry at least.
No, they gave her a hard time, because Kath showed NO remorse at killing her child.... the rest was just an excuse.
I would go to the Govenor...show her the diary and say I was writting a fictional book!! Hahaha!! 😱
