Yes, Jim doesnt like a to woman "offer it" he likes to " stalk them then letch " it from them like Bea said then "conquer it" then toss her away.The character he plays is sadly a immoral adultier.
Karen- "Oh I'm sorry Miss Bennett I didn't realize my feelings were that obvious" 🤣 Priceless! Serves Vera right! Maybe if she wasn't such a miserable person and spoke to and treated the women with a little decency karma would not have come back to bite her in the rear
The Department wants a man as Deputy Governor so they demote Vera and bring in a man to take over, end of. Imagine that happening now? Things were sure different in the 70's! Love that scene at 2:10 where Vera is being petty and snapping at everybody in the dining room, that's so funny.
Addicted2PCBH honestly watching this again, it's amazing the difference in respect Vera was given all around as deputy in comparison with Fletch and Colleen. You'd hardly know she was ever deputy the way the rest of the staff treated her. And Colleen was just as sour and unlikeable so that can't be the reason.
Ah! So we already see Fletch's soft side for the old ladies as early as his first episode! Not caught that interaction between Fletch and Lizzie in the doctor's office in my previous run throughs.
Lynn Has a very sweet Nature She's just easyerly lead by other more dominant prisoners She just wants to keep the peace and have a quiet time shes not very tough just a nice person.
Jennifer G Hehe. I liked the fact that she was nice to the inmates, especially to Irene, who Vera wasn't nice to, and that she gave Vera when she escorted Irene outside, that look indicating that Vera is a miserable, unkind, unfair bitch.
I had a schoolboy crush on Fletch the Letch when I first saw these episodes on Granada Television in 1988 and I still fancy him after all this time… I think it’s the moustache and dreamy eyes 😍
Been watching this series on youtube each night and tonight I've tried to watch episode 38 but the video won't play, says it's been blocked for copyright reasons, and I can see that almost all the videos I've recently viewed won't play now either.. it will play episode 40 but a lot of eps further along will not play either.. does anyone know of a work around?
That new woman is Judy Nunn she was Ailsa Hogan, later Ailsa Stewart, when she married Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher), another Prisoner stalwart, in Home and Away
Love the way Doc gives anyone slightly pissed off a sedative :-0
I keep thinking Doreen is the one that planted those letters on Lynn to get her to stay behind from work release.
Nah she's not that type of girl. It has to be someone malicious and that's not Doreen. IMO, we'll see though.
she is
Doreen is selfish. She doesn't even think of the other person. She can't see the other persons point of view. So I think it was Doreen.
Shine Your Light Collective she did do it 🤪🤪
Duh. Doreen is a selfish
"Worm"
Elizabeth Josephine birdsworth ... Please to meet ya. .. Lizzie is the best actress in there ..
Are you kidding?
Sheila Florance was a fantastic actress!
That tart in the laundry says to Jim, " you can come up and see me anytime big fella." Jim replies "It's easy to see why your in here." ha ha go Jim!
froggieblue fog Can't blame a girl for trying though. 😀😀

Lynn has a such a nice way about how she speaks 🫠
Fletchers face when Lizzie came barging into the doctors office 😂😂😂😂
Greg was trying so hard not to laugh Lizzie was priceless..I bet the actors always cracked up in her scenes
Manda Clody right! Sheila was a genius! I'd never get thru a scene with her!
Lizzie (sheila) was hilarious, you always see the other actors trying not to laugh
Lizzie's the best🤣
Nice! A big Frankie style tear up! Missed those!
I think the spirit of Frankie temporarily possessed her!
The legend that is Fletcher has arrived
Aye! The start of the long history of mega-dramatic storylines is starting in earnest now.
@@frankbrodie5168 nonsense

28:48 😂 Dr Miller moved away from Meg like Kenneth Williams in the Carry On films 🤣🤣 ‘Ooohh Matron!!!’
LMMFAO....Lizzie is hilarious. This show would suck without her!
Not at all cause miss Ferguson, she is a hot lady!
She’s loud and annoying.
i noticed that vera never had 3 pins on her shoulder when she was deputy governor but jim does!!
"Pips" and yes. Fletch literally was the first to wear 3 pips to distinguish the DG from all other senior officers.
Doreen must of planted them letters in lyns bag.
Cus she wants her all to herself
Karen- "Oh I'm sorry Miss Bennett I didn't realize my feelings were that obvious" 🤣
Priceless! Serves Vera right! Maybe if she wasn't such a miserable person and spoke to and treated the women with a little decency karma would not have come back to bite her in the rear
her reaction at the end of the last episode was great, that smirk completely vanished when Davo told her she will be replaced🤣
Mrs. Barfield starts her long acting career of a no talking role. The best actress of all time 😂.
Meg the Lego head :))))
I guess that would make her Mego...
Leave her alone! She's gorgeous.
It's looking very Lego at the moment.
Ailsa from Home and Away!!! Being bossed around by Celia!! Hahahaa!!
Anyone else got a crush on Fletch? 🥰
Karen translating for the Greek girl. Speaking broken English.😅

"I know there's a load of Fletchers in Australia" - Norman Stanley Fletcher (Ronnie Barker) in 'Porridge'
Bea often reminds me of a female Norman Stanley Fletcher.
True.
Yes porridge
Ferguson wasn't a patch on Frankie when they lost it
Lizzie charging into the room as Meg and Greg start making out....Lmaooo 😂😂😂
Fletch's style (hairstyle/moustache) wouldn't look out of place in 2024!! Very fashionable look!
how come Vera never had 3 medals on her shoulder as Deputy Gov? Jim did, Coleen did, Joan and Meg did....
Addicted2PCBH She's not good enough ;)
Wardrobe put a chip on her shoulder instead.
Addicted2PCBH honestly watching this again, it's amazing the difference in respect Vera was given all around as deputy in comparison with Fletch and Colleen.

John Sergei lmao
I like Jim. But I don't think Colleen was unlikable I liked the character.
I almost lost it when she told the prisoners not to give him a hard time😆
man yall should watch this episode with the CC on xD its hillarious " dr: So what do you make of wimp with no " xD
19:01 Is that Willie Ames & Parker Stevenson posters on the bulliten board behind Fletch? lol 70's heart throbs.
After all these years, I never realised that Meg is taller than Bea!
TheRewdy40 As is Noeline, which I never noticed before either. 😃
Vera, it's your fault that you've got Mr Fletcher as Deputy Governor instead of you.
I see Fletch studied at the Steven Seagal school of fighting 30:00
15:52 onwards, is this Lizzie's son Arthur , as the Immigration Department Officer minus the moustache??. 😀😉👍🏻
Good eye! Yes, that's the same actor. He also appears later in the series for a time as a gate guard.
Good old Jim Fletcher, One of my fave officers. Good actor.
Cotton Candy Photography AU Did you Fletch and some of the others in the Prisoner stage show? Oh my... Definitely not my cup of tea!
Gag me.
Colleen arrives in another 8 episodes. I can’t wait she and Vera were the joint best characters in a Prisoner.
Ah! So we already see Fletch's soft side for the old ladies as early as his first episode! Not caught that interaction between Fletch and Lizzie in the doctor's office in my previous run throughs.
42.38....Another dark wee broom cupboard🤣😂
I remember watching this show and I loved all the cast
That's some wig Janice is wearing. The Immigration officer comes back as Lizzie's son Arthur.
The receptionists face, ha!
Bea's outburst in the dining room. 😂
Vera is an angel compared to Joan Ferguson, Ferguson ROCKS!!.
wonk is someone thats easily fooled or overly naive
Thanks for the definition......It's a bit ironic Doreen calls Lynn that, she's, weak as, water, teddy bear in tow!!!
Lynn Has a very sweet Nature She's just easyerly lead by other more dominant prisoners
She just wants to keep the peace and have a quiet time shes not very tough just a nice person.
LOL @ 2:08 I thought for a moment it was Kath from Kath & Kim at the table :D
Jim Fletcher is giving me Pornstache realness a la OITNB.
Think I may agree with you if I could understand your comment. Lol!
Micheal Simpson will get jealous (he's the type). But you don't want Jeff Butler getting jealous?
Doreen crakes me up, she dont want to work in the garden alone , moan moan moan . She's moaning no matter what , like a baby.
jim looked like him from on the busses during these eps lol
The legend that is Jim Fletcher. Love Money during this
Fletch like vera with a tash
Don't f** with Erica Davidson, Fletch!
Fletch the letch what a nice nickname
Vera's voice is so creepy when she's not shouting lol
... I must say though that Fletch the Letch does have lovely manners...
The Doc’s only treatment is sedation! Lynn stop whining challenge.
bea is so funny in this episode
Interesting that Fletcher's name was listed in cast before he actually appeared
The receptionist looks like Noel Fielding.
Jennifer G Hehe. I liked the fact that she was nice to the inmates, especially to Irene, who Vera wasn't nice to, and that she gave Vera when she escorted Irene outside, that look indicating that Vera is a miserable, unkind, unfair bitch.
LOL!!!!!!!!!
When ferguson kicks off in the laundry 😂😂😂 absolutely brilliant! 30:00
Poor Lynne! That Doreen needs a good kicking!
Wow, I'd forgotten all the "issues" Fletch had in the early days.
It's times like these I wish my name wasn't Doreen LoL 😉
Amazing how many times Erica says "Very well"
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH Fergie channeled Franky!!
Joyce aka ailsa and vera who would have thought ailsa and celia Stewart from home and away be on this 😁😁
Basically everyone in Aus entertainment has been on Prisoner at some time or another.
True.
elizabeth josephine birdsworth - i love her lol
40 down 652 more to go, damm I'm hooked!!!! 2022
who were the letters addressed to?wouldnt that answer a few questions? love how the sound boom keeps creeping into shot!
I can already tell Fletcher and Vera are either gonna be spiteful enemies or passionate lovers, just you wait.
Shame Lynn lost her job at the Nursery, now she'll be stuck with Doreen all the time.
this prison is a more like a group home ...no prisons like this even in 1970s Australia: or were there??
The first appearance of Gerard Maguire as Deputy Governor Jim Fletcher.
Nicknamed Fletch The Letch by the prisoners.
Ferguson thinks she is Frankie Doyle.
I hope this crap Greek storyline doesn't go on much longer! They have the worst accents ever! Reeeaaaally bad acting lol & Karen is soooo annoying!
Wow! It's Judy Nunn from Home and Away, in the early years, she was alfs wife.
1:19 Vera, in the style of Nelson from The Simpsons, haw! haw!
Meg said vera will get over it when she got demoted but she went into one when she got demoted from deputy governor
I had a schoolboy crush on Fletch the Letch when I first saw these episodes on Granada Television in 1988 and I still fancy him after all this time… I think it’s the moustache and dreamy eyes 😍
😂 😉
WTF ... “you’re a pig Anderson!” out of nowhere?
@ 41:40 - Fletcher is quite the homophobe. His character is written to be unlikeable at first but becomes more sympathetic later in the series.
Yes that is true. Unlikeable initially but he becomes likeable over the years.
Fletch Is a good Aussie Bloke.
+George Barrett I'm glad Meg put Fletch the Letch in his place.
I wondered why he was being a bit of a dick. I could have sworn he was much nicer.
@@sean5990 Fletch The Letch was nicer later on but wasn't at first
Jim Fletcher such a relic with his mustache 😂 He needs to telaport to todays society.
How do you mean? Moustaches are totally back in fashion. All the cool lads are sporting them in 2024
Six months for her charges??? Wow, they are not very hard on their criminals.
cant get enough of this greek storyline
What's with the different sewing machine, it was red when Monnie thew it and then it's not when she's putting it back onto the table
42.27 go meg!!!!!
Ol Jim fletcher sure was a arse when he first got to wentworth lol
If Vera was deputy governor why didn’t she have the 3 studs cause flecher does
Aah Fletch the misogynist craterface Letch. Toasting Vera's demotion. Big mistake letting Boreen into your bed Lynne.
Thank goodness someone else noticed the craters, I'm seeing all these posts about how attractive he is. I'm looking at him like how?
I did notice craters but still found him attractive. To each his own
A bit rude.
I knew that swine Butterfield would get rid of Lyn eventually, he never liked her from the start. She really got unlucky to have him for a boss.
The lawyer needs to get a personal life involved in everything surely there's more Lawers about 🙄🙄

You can watch it now all the episodes are on there now
What's with Jim's hat lol
who needs a lesson in food😐 food is food ..Karen can be such goody goody
Ok, so I've ditched my crush on DR Greg for Fletch. Mind you I always did like him, just never knew why when I was 15!
Lizzie is my fav character in this show heheh
Lizzie is prisoner, it's a shame the Lizzie in the remake Wentworth is annoying.
That new woman is Judy Nunn she was Ailsa Hogan, later Ailsa Stewart, when she married Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher), another Prisoner stalwart, in Home and Away
Love Lizzy
Man, Fletch was a male chauvinist pig when he first arrived at Wentworth.
Studly Jim Fletcher has arrived. :-)
I have to say i find Bea very unlikeable at certain times in these early episodes. One minute she is lovely to Lyn and then she is ridiculing her.
yeah, I wonder if she's bipolar.
@@marycalmeiro1135 I'm bipolar so I can easily spot another one of my kind.
She always had an unpleasant streak!
I've just heard a rumour that Dame Edna Everage is about to be the new govenor at Wentworth!
Jim!
