One of the funniest scenes I've seen : a frightened and hysterical Denise running down the corridor with an enraged Monica chasing her and then an exasperated Bea trying to catch Monica. I was in stitches.
At 20:39. So funny! Every time Monnie sees Crabtree, Crabtree runs and Monnie goes after her, then Bea says Monnie! It reminds me of Monnie is a dog and Crabtree is a cat and Bea is Monnies owner lol
Of course. She has to "take care" of the good doctor now doesn't she, since Meg wised up. And what happened to Karen... and Steve.. they just disappeared...and reappeared.
Jeremy, this is totally normal in any soap opera. Actors have holidays too dont u know? I for one gave an inward groan when I saw her annoying frame waltzing towards the camera.
I think she had to house-sit for a friend for a bit but still was working there---we just didn't see her. Guessing she had another job (the actress, that is).
Yes that’s what they did I watching talking prisoner they had sandy on there she that bea was given that storyline because she wanted to leave for little while to do other things that’s how it worked
Was good to see Jean Vernon again. I wondered where she’d disappeared to! Hopefully she’ll sort out that Peter Clements. He’s a real creep isn’t he!! And the other chap. It doesn’t paint a very good picture of Uni Lecturers 😱
I was at Uni twice - could count the number of decent lecturers on one hand. Uni is a nest of vipers. The infighting and internal politics is unbelievable.
@@stevenmcghee6649 Don't get me started on them. All they did was meet in their office. They had a saying 'You're responsible for your own learning', meaning just get on with it. One of the lecturers left he was so fed up with it. If someone says to me They have a degree I take it with a pinch of salt. The amount of students that left in year 1 & never got their credits but amazingly came back next year & got their Hnd. The Uni's just want numbers for their funding.
Why do woman blame the other woman when a man cheats? The one who broke the vows is the one who to blame. For instance.....my ex was fooling around with a friend of mine. First I beat his ass and kicked him out. After our divorce I ran into "the friend" kicked her ass too. Lol 😆
Vera sure gets a lot of slack but i really do love her character she's such a stiff dog when it comes to work...Harmless though compared to some of the other offices ..
The college professors are hilarious. They overplay this big pompous "intellectual aire" thing, even in the tone of their voice. It's almost like a Monty Python sketch.
***** Maybe we're not thinking in the same time zone since I haven't watched Corrie since the 1990s. Google image search Jim McDonald and check the older pictures with brown hair and mustache,
@@Redsleathernot strictly so. They list the main cast first alphabetically and then the lesser cast also alphabetically. That Vernon creature should be demoted to the lesser cast as she is no longer a main cast character.
Do we ever find out who left the note in the staff lounge that revealed the existence of Joyce’s safety deposit key? I can’t remember ever seeing this resolved onscreen.
Are there only about 10 prisoners in this prison? Hahahaha. 21:13 Moni- ''Screw you, screw"!! Well 'ard....hahahaha. This programme is _soooo bad_ it's good!! :D
I've never noticed anyone referring to "Cell Block H" on the show. Maybe I missed it. Is Davidson the governor for the other blocks? Because we never see her having anything to do with other blocks.
@@xfreespirit1979x from what has been said during the series, E block is solitary, F block is isolation G block is maternity, D block is Governors office, Hospital and social workers office corridor so that just leaves A, B, C and H blocks to be for prisoners. I could be wrong and it is fictional of course.
She moved out of Meg's but wasn't written out of the show, although it was a rather random small appearance after 15 episodes or so! maybe to remind people she's still around
Way to go Davo announcing you're going to search everyone going in and out of prison. Now they're just going to have to think of new way to get the key out of the prison.
I guess she'll put the key in her lovely lady parts. Then remove it at the airport, or wherever she's going. Isn't the woman at the Uni in the green pants and jacket the artist that comes on here later on?
Bonnie, Lynn warner was realeased then kidnapped by Joyce Martin's gang. The police turned up just in time for her to get the last bus home. That's the last we heard.
Actually, one of the examples I was thinking of occurred in the late '70s (though it was in the U.S.). A guy had metal parts in his leg from an operation, and was forced to strip at an airport. But yeah, it's much worse now. Last time I flew, airport security made me throw away my sun block.
Vera - absolutely shitty guard; honestly she saw nothing suspicious of a prisoner suddenly asking to go to the can just before a metal detector was going to use on them.
But............when Monnie put the key in the matchbox for Joyce a few episodes back it didn't have a tag on it. Now the key has a tag with all the details on it!!!?
That Dr Clements is so creepy. reminds me of the guy with one hand in 'Scary Movie 2'. Did confidentiality/personal/sensitive conversations not exist back then?
Oh yeah! I forgot about that movie and that creepy dude with the tiny hand...only difference is between that guy with the tiny hand if not an average sized hand, clements has a tiny brain and a big mouth!
37:00 Denise & her on screen sister looks like they could be real life sisters. Anybody think the same? 38:55 Toms wife reminds me of that tart from dirty dancing too who slept in johnny castles cabin in the catskills in america.
Joyce had problems and keeps creating problems bc she can't keep her gob shut about that money. Her idea of hiding the key was so ridiculous of course it was going to backfire. Jean's return is still meh. Fletch is his own worst enemy. I'm still itching to punch that smirk off Vera's face. No man or mistress is worth going to jail over.
How shallow is fletches wife .. She'll only get back with him if he earned more money.. I predict the welsh guys wife will end up in wentworth when she finds out her husband is cheating on her on she kills the student ...
I have never watched prisoner fully and I only new Rita Connors as top dog and thought she was the best top dog but now ave seen more of bea I like her a lot as she keeps order best she can and don't think she is as bad as I Hurd. Really enjoying watching it from the start
What was the deal with that tea that woman brought out ,she poured 2 cups they had a mouthful each then she says I'll make some more whilst the other one buggers off to make a phonecall
15:00, Why do 2 of the girls who are watching TV ask for Bea and the other 2 card players to be quiet when the TV programme they are watching has no talking in it, just comedic style music in the vein of a Benny Hill silent sketch???????????? Didnt the screenplay writer consult with the guy who puts in the background sounds??????? Its as if the whole show is put together by college kids doing an internship.

Lesley Baker who played Monica was a comic actress and it certainly shows
Lmao 😂😂 I was howling at that ! Lol
oh I love Bea. Monica saying she only clobbered her ole man once and Bea says "he's got no gratitude" lol
😂😂😂😂😂
These were good episodes shame moni wasn’t in it for longer she was asked apparently but refused
I was wondering if we would ever see the social worker again, she hasn't been in the last six episodes (at least), and now reappears.
whats this obsession with the social worker? All her storylines are boooorrrrrrr---inggggggg.
@@listenhealthily She looks like the Cheshire cat or the Grinch with her wide smile lol
Ross Lamb - How many times are you going to repeat this tedious remark?
@@baronmeduse As many times as I feel like
@@rosslamb7069 Your choice if you want to come across as a gossipy old lady.
Carole's every reason to be paranoid over Tom. Tom's a tom cat alright. Love Bea, and her,: "Well, well, wells!"
Exactly!
Love how the governor has a huge bottle of scotch behind her desk!!
And condoms 😳
Apparently piss was very cheap back then
I’m surprised Lizzie hasn’t hatched some plot to swipe it 😂
Yes it’s on reserve for lizzy
@@joannelaws2937just wait
Love Vera's smug face when Erica's questioning Fletch !
When Vera told Erica about fletcher working off his animal passion that was so funny
All this chaos over marked money they can’t spend it anyway 😂
The credits could've read, "special cameo appearance by Jean Vernon/Christine Armor."
At 20:39. So funny! Every time Monnie sees Crabtree, Crabtree runs and Monnie goes after her, then Bea says Monnie! It reminds me of Monnie is a dog and Crabtree is a cat and Bea is Monnies owner lol
So true 😂😂😂😂
Bea, Monica and Crabtree. Does remind me of a day at the dog 🐶 park. 😂
Any arguments and I will separate you two 😅
Lizzie's so cool I bet her heartbeat has a wicked bassline!!
Probably sounds like Scooter
"You!" and Monica sprints afterr Crabtree. This is such a good story. Your mistress in prison with your wife
The writers had a ball with that one..... keystone cops!
The script writers obviously don't think much of university academics - the two profs depicted here really are repulsive types, aren't they?
One is like Rasputin and the other belongs in Carry on films ☺
Today as well?
I’ll never get bored of watching Vera’s frequent side eye smirks 😁
Jean Vernon just appears out of nowhere haha... she's been gone for many episodes.
Of course. She has to "take care" of the good doctor now doesn't she, since Meg wised up. And what happened to Karen... and Steve.. they just disappeared...and reappeared.
Jeremy, this is totally normal in any soap opera. Actors have holidays too dont u know? I for one gave an inward groan when I saw her annoying frame waltzing towards the camera.
She's only 26 or 27 if the actress and character are the same age.
I think she had to house-sit for a friend for a bit but still was working there---we just didn't see her. Guessing she had another job (the actress, that is).

Haha I agree, Vera's smug look is brilliant!!
Vera's great best character on the show.
I absolutely love Vera! You either love her or hate her.. I bloody love her ❤
Written by someone who hated university lecturers.
and that's quite easy to do

Yeah know what you mean I'm 48
Vera sure gets a lot of slack but i really do love her character she's such a stiff dog when it comes to work...Harmless though compared to some of the other offices ..
"Ignorant bitch." best line ever
Oh, a professional slut.
A better line....lol
Hahaha
The picture of a golliwog at 5:15 in Jean Vernon’s office would certainly offend modern day sensibilities
The college professors are hilarious. They overplay this big pompous "intellectual aire" thing, even in the tone of their voice. It's almost like a Monty Python sketch.
Vera's face when Jim got suspended 😂
23:51 I've only just realized Inspector Grace looks like Coronation Street's Jim McDonald.
They couldn't look less alike!
Thats who it is
No!

Jean Vernon comes back like 10 episodes later and is the first name in the credits? haha

It might of been crabtree
Yes we do - I won't spoil it for you though
@@AshleyTutssthats what I thought x
I wonder why Lynn's mugshot is still in the opening credits. I can't imagine following her life any further
Said same thing she left ages ago
the look on veras face classic
The new lecturer is Welsh and the girl is in mad max
Peter Clements quack quack
... yay. Dreary Jean's back!!!
Are there only about 10 prisoners in this prison? Hahahaha.
21:13 Moni- ''Screw you, screw"!! Well 'ard....hahahaha.
This programme is _soooo bad_ it's good!! :D
There are other blocks we don't see. This focuses on cell block H. At one point the cook says they are cooking for 50 prisoners.
I've never noticed anyone referring to "Cell Block H" on the show. Maybe I missed it. Is Davidson the governor for the other blocks? Because we never see her having anything to do with other blocks.
In the later part of the series, Kath says, "there are 25 other prisoners in this block"

I wished they had shown detective grace more maybe his family he was the most popular
She moved out of Meg's but wasn't written out of the show, although it was a rather random small appearance after 15 episodes or so! maybe to remind people she's still around
She wasn't missed. Still less of a pain in the rear then Paul Reid was, though.
The reason the windows etc are different in the early episodes is cos this is before the great fire of wentworth I think.
Way to go Davo announcing you're going to search everyone going in and out of prison. Now they're just going to have to think of new way to get the key out of the prison.
As if you'd let her go toilet before the metal detector.
Scott Leicester 😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁😁
"Screw you screw..."
Meg Morris’ yo-yo knickers would be off in a second
I bet Vera's metal detector won't be used again. Just appeared when Denise had the key on her.
A real treat to see Jean Vernon again!
As for Jim, he'd better tread carefully.....
Dr Clements is a pain in the butt!
Yeah I hate him.. seems very weird
@@sarahkorver2439what do you expect? He is a psychologist or psychiatrist or whatever after all. They are all nuts themselves and sex maniacs.
Jean's got a golliwog behind her desk. Long time since I saw one of those.
I’ve still got mine!
I guess she'll put the key in her lovely lady parts. Then remove it at the airport, or wherever she's going. Isn't the woman at the Uni in the green pants and jacket the artist that comes on here later on?
Nope. That's a totally different annoying person lol I think her characters name is Karri
Sometimes the prison officers "Wentworth" patches/badges on their upper arms are straight and sometimes curved.
Bonnie, Lynn warner was realeased then kidnapped by Joyce Martin's gang. The police turned up just in time for her to get the last bus home. That's the last we heard.
36? My arse! hahah
Seriously. More like 56.
Pat Morac oh my, nice one liner of the day :) Funny !
She looks 36 in 1979 terms.
That was my reaction to her saying 36 but I looked her up and she was actually 35.
was there a sale on brown boots 👢 for the students?
peekeyeseek Haha. I noticed that myself the second time around. 😄
They were in style then. I remember every single black student in full length black leather coats in the early 90s at university
All I wanted that year for Christmas was brown boots and denim culottes. Very fashionable. I got them too!
42:00 she says she's 36, lol yeah with the ten years added onto it
The unknown girl at 32:12 dressed in blue jeans with the red folder looks like Kerry Vincent?

The payroll job is the bank job! It means the bank brings in extra money on payday to cover all the people coming into cash their checks
Joyce should have kept her big trap shut from the start
the woman playing Tom Kats wife reminds me of Queenie.

That could still set off a metal detector. :) I've heard of people with metal inside them (from operations) setting off metal detectors at airports.
There xrayed today
37:00 Denise & her on screen sister looks like they could be real life sisters. Anybody think the same? 38:55 Toms wife reminds me of that tart from dirty dancing too who slept in johnny castles cabin in the catskills in america.
