Wow never realised Joan Barfield had spoken that much, always thought she’d only probably had one line throughout the whole show. Watching this I wonder why they had always kept her as a background officer? she’s actually good at acting 🤔
Wendy Ward must have been one of the longest serving background officers after Joan Barfield. Glad she got some lines towards the end of her time at Wentworth! Shame Sue Bailey didn't get featured more often - I think the actress who played her went on to appear as a main character in A Country Practice.
Good to see Joan Barfield talk. In the early days I thought she was mute.
She actually wasn't a bad actress. Shame her role wasn't expanded a bit.
And as it turned out the impression Judy did of her voice in 1981 was pretty close.
It was also Mrs Barfield who did the cell checks over the closing credits for a long time.
Thank you for remembering those brave Prison Officers who kept Wentworth running!
They kept everything running smoothly!
I love all the background screws, when they get to speak for me it always improves a scene. My favourite is Andrea Radcliffe
Sue Bailey definitely should have become a regular and a senior officer. Much more capable than Barry, Slattery etc.
True - I wanted to see much more! Loved her character

I really liked her too and wish she had been in it more too
2:00 Ah Delva Hunter. Pity she never became a regular officer - good actress. Would be great if anyone knew anything about her...
I found her on the 1954 Australian census and apparently she lost her sight towards the end of her life.

I wish Sue had become a mail character she was brilliant!
@@alanalexander By the way, thanks for uploading these clips and montages!
@@2008giles No problem I loved doing them!
Sue Bailey was a minor role but
She wasn't an extra. She had alot
Of speaking roles.
"I bought it to work" sounds a bit strange.
the girl in the middle looks like Mercy from the warriors at 6:08
Joanne Riley played by Kathy Gordon seen a handful of times from mid 83 to late 84.
I always liked Mrs. Barry. Some people don't.
I loved her
She was good.
Do you have any of Officer Green (the moustached) male officer often seen in the background?
Sadly no but I liked his brief appearances
