Ok, so Meg views an apartment at 8:00 a.m., signs the lease, goes to work for a full shift, somehow manages to arrange for next-day "removalists", returns home to pack up a two bedroom flat that she has lived in for years (with presumably still some of Bill and Marty's furniture/belongings), manages to have sufficient boxes and tea chests, gets up the next morning to have the removalists arrive first thing, gets herself across town with no car, unpacks enough to have the living room area set up as well as the the kitchen, goes on to work the day shift, and hosts a housewarming party that evening. My goodness, she is Super Woman!
I like the Butler character, well played, but to let hit run from the house to a car that they know is stolen & parked there? Police would disable the car & wait for reinforcements before they raided the house. Even in 1980.
it's hilarious that 2 people barged their way into Kerri's flat at 2 different times.. noticed her on the floor.. and did nothing!!! both even spoke to her lmao
In the last episode David Austin stole a blank canvas from Kerry's apartment while she was passed out. Love the bloopers like when Kerry hit him with the ash tray the butts never fell out.🙂
With incompetent fools like Jean Vernon, Agnes Foster/Ettie Parslow, Phil Clearly, and since we barely seen Bill Jackson. Paul Reid was the best by default but he screwed up millions of times and he’s obnoxious.
Ah, those lovely old Tait trains - 'red rattlers' we called them. They were built around 1920 but the Victorian State Railways used them for about 70 years before they were phased out, partly because they were too slow to keep up with the revamped time tables on some lines. They had the most comfortable big leather seats and there were no electric doors, so you could have a wonderful breeze on a warm day. Being wooden and very heavy, they rode on the tracks magnificently. Some things were better years ago....
Mark Bpharm All this technology and gadgets, modern cars, trams etc are meant to improve our lives🤔🙄, but in reality we who are in the know can recall the details that made older things and times better , happier and more fun . Some of the modern world is great, but the nostalgia to go back to simpler times is forever there. Oh, how I wish I was going to school in my mum's Mercedes red convertible like pam ewing's in Dallas , skipping cold football lessons and sitting in school cafe drinking hot chocolate with biscuits . Going to the bakery and buying a crusty baguette just made with fresh turkey for lunch with a giant can of coke in a supercan . Running free with my mates on family land , driving snowmobiles in winter. Great times ❤️️🤔🙋🏼♂️😉😀✌🏻️👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻🇩🇰
@@ajs41 I really miss our old slam door trains, with the drop windows. I used to go to school on the train every day in the 80s. Sometimes we'd get one of those carriages that had the separate compartments of six seats. We loved getting one of those compartments to ourselves.
@@susi-emily I nearly had a terrible disaster with one of those type of trains about 5 years ago on the Great Western railway from London to Bristol. I wasn't used to the windows since most other train lines have abolished them, and I stuck my head out of one of them when we were going past the famous White Horse in Oxfordshire. At that precise moment another train came in the other direction and must have missed my head by a tiny margin. A few weeks later I read in the papers that a woman had been killed in exactly the same way on the same train line.
"What a dreary looking pack of old cows" says Noleen in possibly the most mind bending moment for a long while. For once Noleen identifies the real issues with astonishing clarity. As well as being a potential tag line for the series, it's also a meta statement from possibly the dreariest and most strangely fascinating character the show ever produced. It's an audacious statement, how is Noleen measuring 'dreary'? And how has she got the outrageous brazenness to call the other women 'old cows'? The mind boggles, but possibly it's a lesson in self belief and self esteem... because she's worth it.
Oh how lovely for Meg to be meeting her new neighbour - the harrassed-looking woman with the two small kids, screeching baby and alcoholic husband. I do hope nothing untoward happens that might lead to her... say... ending up in Wentworth? 🙄
Lizzie's attitude stinks. She had 50 years to find her real daughter but never bothered. Then when a fake one turns up she forsakes everyone & accepted her. Then when she finds out her real daughter died she didn't care after 2 seconds.
''Yes, she's er, recovering in a nursing home, er, no doubt she soon will be well again and able to paint hundreds of paintings like the one you are carrying.'' 😆😂😆😂 YEEEEEEEEEEES, that made me laugh so much. She sure threw shade beautifully. You go Erica luv. Started watching from eps 001 on the 5th of November 2022, now the 23rd of January 2023. Will I get to eps 692 by the end of the year?
@45:11 Josie's fake smile disappears real quick when she turns away from Lizzie in that hug. The state Lizzie's mouth is in her breath must have been horrible.
THE LADY NEXT DOOR! A brand new sitcom starring Meg Jackson, Vera Bennett and The Lady Next Door as The Lady Next Door! Oh, I can't wait for this brilliantly terrible outside story.. can you imagine, watching a show comprised only of Prisoner's ''outside' storylines? Yes... consider that, and weep.
+ Jason Yates - Is it only running in OZ? (Eventually Netflix or Acorn TV might pick it up). i assume you know about Wentworth. (Doesn't everyone)? If you don't, it's definitely worth watching.

Yes mate. Smokes in Australia in the late 70's/early 80's were the cheapest in Aussie history, cheaper than even in 1940 adjusting for inflation. Lizzy's protest at paying $5 is understandable. That's exactly 5 times the going rate. The same as if I charged you $90 today. Yep smokes are on average $18 a pack today in Aus. Robbery indeed!
@@martha-anastasia Wow, I made that comment 9 years so thanks for the reply. I mentioned that smokes were $18 a pack? Well, they're now (as of 2022) around the $40-$50 mark in Australia. Unbelievable.
@@RustyKeys72 Jesus! I thought they had got expensive in England. Your $40 is about £20. A pack of 20 Marlboro is just over £12. I used to love smoking but it just got too expensive. I quit about 5yrs ago.
I used to like Judy but not since she's been helping Nolene. It's irritating when Nolene was the reason her daughter was in prison, in the first place. Nolene gets on my last nerve and I will be glad when she's gone, again. If i were Bea, I would take Judy down a notch or two. The way Bea keeps letting her challenge her is making her look weak.
Although it got predictable, boring and annoying that Bea wasn't challenged by other women at times, as she would always take on every inmate that came into Wentworth as well and win. Thankfully, that will change in the near future of the show with two women, that will equally match her on both sides of the bars. 😉😄
Regardless of who likes her or not, I agree that she shouldn't stick up for Noelene, as she is manipulating Judy because of Judy's guilt of what happened to Noelene's daughter.
36:45 you don't realise how tiny Lizzie is till he stands beside her not the it makes a difference she has a huge personality.. What a legend such a turn of phrase..
Erica's constant "Yes.. I suppose you're right.." responses are funny because it's not that people she talks to are always right.. Insofar as Erica is almost exclusively wrong. lol
Hahaha Vera after Meg tells her that Noeline must be upset about Leanne’s Death…..They aren’t like normal people They don’t have those sorts of feelings 🤣🤣
Oh, Meg Jackson. Why hasn't a New Orleans rapper written an ode to you yet? As much as we LOVE Meg, she's a demented insane woman. She's just managed the astonishing and probably mathematically impossible feat of moving from one depressing brick beige unit that couldn't possibly exist in the real world to another one that looks exactly the same, while claiming she doesn't need much space. Meg, it's exactly the same size. Unless it's the TARDIS and transports her to Skaro for after prison hours dates with Davros I'd strongly suggest she's just been had. Sorry, Miss Jacskon, excuse me, but if you're nasty? Cue beats..
I find Lizzie's decision rather odd to take them two on as her new family, after all she has only known them for five minutes. First of all, though, she wants to give the mother some money to improve her grubby looking appearance. Josie looked Okay. I'm glad that common sense prevailed with Kerry and she wasn't sent back to jail because it would have been pointless. Nolene getting locked in the storeroom was hilarious!!
When I was a little girl my mum had me go to the store for her and buy her a pack of cigarettes. She would give me a dollar and I'd bring back the change. I have no memory of hiw much cigarettes cost in the early 70s. Maybe twenty five or thirty cents.
9:38..........poor Lizzie?? She held you hostage just a couple of days ago, Erica. Swigged down most of your 30 year-old vintage Scotch. Yet you still treat her like some eccentric, grog-obsessed maiden aunt. And not the desperado she really is. What Lizzie needs is the calming influence of a nice elderly gentleman. I wonder if one might come along in the future 🙂
Lin J Fiona IS either a lesbian or bi--She can't turn that off, and yes I agree it could have been hard for Her. I certainly could not do it for acting. Fiona's life partner, the late Denise Morgan was the best writer for this show too !! It must have been interesting for Denise too
Sometimes shes so blunt easy to offend at a whim when it suits her, she can't keep anyone around. Too many insults and friends will make excuses not to see you anymore. That's her running social life so far.
The interesting thing about Vera's character is that if one read the script on paper you would think it just wasn't credible to have someone making so many silly mistakes in the way that Vera does with regard to making crass comments towards people she's desperately trying to make friends with. It just seems ridiculous that anyone could behave like that. The genius of Fiona Spence is that she manages to act the character in a way that makes it believable.
Exactly, she plays the part that's given to her so well you have to believe every word she says. Her expressions are spot on. So serious that in real life would make our heads spin. That's why she's Vera, the bitch you love to hate. I can't see this series from the start without Fiona Spence playing her.
I love Nolene but she was too greedy. She took too long and now her ass is in trouble. Let's see what happens in the next episode. If she can get out. LOLOL
bea is so nosy why didnt she give lizzy any smokes couldve gave her at least one when she was asking nolene...notice nobody else gave her one...i give strangers on the street smokes everyday.
AH! The appearance of Meggie's baby bashing neighbour! But lol @ 'baby Steve..' Come on! My name is Stephen also. But who on earth would call a baby Stephen 'Steve'? Though tbh I disliked both Stephen and Steve so much as a youth, that I once mentioned to the mates in the pub that I'd rather be called something else. They asked me what, and drunkenly I replied "Frank!" Well... cue 40 years later... Yeah...
Some women decide to go au natural. They don't shave their legs or arm pits. Besides, they probably don't allow razors in prison. Msybe they use that vile smelling foam stuff that rids you of body hair.
So the women can't carry money inside (Davidson holding Doreen's money) but Lizzie seems to have some on her for ciggies! makes A LOT of sense! lol, great programme though, whoever thumbed this down... well, needs help lol!
Nolene has hairy gorilla pins. Marcia can't be much of a con woman, looks as though she can't even afford a nice bottle of Head & Shoulders for herself. Where's Margo?
five bucks for a pack of cigarettes…😮wow that was really cheap. In the uk 🇬🇧 for 20 cigarettes costs about £12.98 to £17.99 & prices are still going up. I personally switched to Vaping E-Cigarettes as they are healthier & cheaper. Also E-cigs taste so much better too.
Talk about future shock! A pack of cigs is five dollars now (or almost.. at least in Europe)... The cheapest I paid was .65 cents... and when I left the States 12 years ago they were up to $2.50. However, I buy a can of tobacco for €18.15 and make my own cigarettes and it's WAY cheaper. I wonder at the time this episode was aired, how much were a pack of cigarettes in Australia?
In the uk 🇬🇧, For real tobacco Cigarettes for 20 cigs we pay about £7.50 or £8.90 for 10 cigs £4.90. But now in the uk they started only putting 19 cigs in a packet. 12 months later they have only put 17 in packet and the prices still remain very very high. We are paying the same price for a full 20 but cig company's around the uk are only putting 17 cigs 🚬 in a box. Not the full 20.
I+ Ꭿmanda Jonεs - f you get a better hit - that means a stronger addiction. You're smart enough to make your own choices. Just PLEASE don't believe the rubbish put out by the companies who profit by selling the vaping equipment. They only make money as long as you buy their equipment.
Of all the Accents & impressions that Helen Smart can do, she chooses the old 'Pinch your nose' voice disguise on the phone. lololol

You don't have to invite everyone to a party.

I love Mrs. Jackson's face behind Doreen as she smartly negotiates over the painting with that wanker.
If Lizzie thinks $5 is high for a pack of cigarettes- then today's prices would give her a heart attack.
It was high then too the wages were lower then today
Marlboros cost almost $7:00 here in America. My sister smokes seven packs a week. I sure would hate to add up the cost at the end of a year.

Sometimes shes so blunt easy to offend at a whim when it suits her, she can't keep anyone around. Too many insults and friends will make excuses not to see you anymore. That's her running social life so far.
The interesting thing about Vera's character is that if one read the script on paper you would think it just wasn't credible to have someone making so many silly mistakes in the way that Vera does with regard to making crass comments towards people she's desperately trying to make friends with. It just seems ridiculous that anyone could behave like that. The genius of Fiona Spence is that she manages to act the character in a way that makes it believable.
Exactly, she plays the part that's given to her so well you have to believe every word she says. Her expressions are spot on. So serious that in real life would make our heads spin. That's why she's Vera, the bitch you love to hate. I can't see this series from the start without Fiona Spence playing her.
Did any one notice nolenes hairy legs when she was in Paul Reid office 😅😂😂
Oh no, not Gail Summers. Episodes and episodes of her and her horrible children howling.
@8:05: A Bit small? For a single person?? How big are flats in Australia??
3:24 Kerry needs to be put in the recovery position at the very least
David called Doreen Anderson, then Burns.
I love Nolene but she was too greedy. She took too long and now her ass is in trouble. Let's see what happens in the next episode. If she can get out. LOLOL
Now $50 for a pack of cigarettes
Smith & Myra Desmond would be bankrupt in a week, they must smoke 50 cigs a day a least
32:46 - The bass line from Boogie Oogie Oogie?
Oh Dear Noeline Haha ….I wasn’t expecting to hear that the real Marcia had died
If Bea and Lizzie could see how much a packet of cigarettes cost today!
Well val who played Bea is still alive I'm sure she knows.and Shelia who played Lizzie would be shocked
@@carolepworth4964 does Val Lehman still smoke? She’s certainly a heavy smoker in Prisoner
bea is so nosy why didnt she give lizzy any smokes couldve gave her at least one when she was asking nolene...notice nobody else gave her one...i give strangers on the street smokes everyday.
AH! The appearance of Meggie's baby bashing neighbour! But lol @ 'baby Steve..' Come on! My name is Stephen also. But who on earth would call a baby Stephen 'Steve'? Though tbh I disliked both Stephen and Steve so much as a youth, that I once mentioned to the mates in the pub that I'd rather be called something else. They asked me what, and drunkenly I replied "Frank!" Well... cue 40 years later... Yeah...
Noleen at 38.4 :D gotta love her :D
I've changed my mind. I love Nolene better than anyone else.
$5 for a pack of smokes in 1979!! GAWD they are triple that price at least now
I used to buy a packet in 1998 for $3.50
How hairy are noelene's leg MY GOD!!!!!!
Some women decide to go au natural. They don't shave their legs or arm pits. Besides, they probably don't allow razors in prison. Msybe they use that vile smelling foam stuff that rids you of body hair.
HI I'm Gail your neighbour; She'll be inside before long? ?
How much was a pack of cigarettes in 1979? They are crying about $5 but nowadays smokers (in Australia) pay $15-$20 per pack.
About $1, which would be about $4 today with inflation: www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au/13-3-the-price-of-tobacco-products-in-australia
So we finally get rid of Kerry to be replaced with whiny Gail
It's a never ending line of annoying secondary characters who get in the way of the primary characters.
So the women can't carry money inside (Davidson holding Doreen's money) but Lizzie seems to have some on her for ciggies! makes A LOT of sense! lol, great programme though, whoever thumbed this down... well, needs help lol!
looks like she has fangs too, maybe vampires do exist! lol
nolene looks like bob geldof
Nolene has hairy gorilla pins. Marcia can't be much of a con woman, looks as though she can't even afford a nice bottle of Head & Shoulders for herself. Where's Margo?
Greasy ass hair
+ Virginia Guiney - Perhaps you should stick to shows rated for kids 13 and under.
Don't they sell shampoo for oily hair? Because Ellen / Marcia needs some badly.
five bucks for a pack of cigarettes…😮wow that was really cheap. In the uk 🇬🇧 for 20 cigarettes costs about £12.98 to £17.99 & prices are still going up.
I personally switched to Vaping E-Cigarettes as they are healthier & cheaper. Also E-cigs taste so much better too.
Talk about future shock! A pack of cigs is five dollars now (or almost.. at least in Europe)... The cheapest I paid was .65 cents... and when I left the States 12 years ago they were up to $2.50. However, I buy a can of tobacco for €18.15 and make my own cigarettes and it's WAY cheaper. I wonder at the time this episode was aired, how much were a pack of cigarettes in Australia?
In the uk 🇬🇧, For real tobacco Cigarettes for 20 cigs we pay about £7.50 or £8.90 for 10 cigs £4.90.
But now in the uk they started only putting 19 cigs in a packet. 12 months later they have only put 17 in packet and the prices still remain very very high. We are paying the same price for a full 20 but cig company's around the uk are only putting 17 cigs 🚬 in a box. Not the full 20.
So ended up switching to the E-Cigs instead. U get a better hit, it's cheaper, u get a better nicotine hit.
At the time of the episode, probably about $1. These days over $20.
I+ Ꭿmanda Jonεs - f you get a better hit - that means a stronger addiction.
You're smart enough to make your own choices.
Just PLEASE don't believe the rubbish put out by the companies who profit by selling the vaping equipment. They only make money as long as you buy their equipment.
Back then a pack of 25 was about 90cents. They're now about $30!!
