Prisoner was one of the best Australian series ever made, Had a beer and a chat a few years back at the Newtown hotel with Maggie Kirkpatrick,she is an amazing woman🇦🇺🐨
Miss Maggie Kirkpatrick was born to play Prison Officer Joan Ferguson, Miss Maggie Kirkpatrick was absolutely OUTSTANDING, This is a great video behind the scenes very informative and very interesting. Miss Maggie Kirkpatrick comes across so natural and down to earth, such a GREAT LADY.
I watched this on itv back in the 90s when it aired, I was a kid back then and sat up late at night with my granny to watch it. She is now watching the whole series for a third time on dvd all these years later. This is a rare gem by the way, I love how the backlot is all connected, things you would never imagine when watching the show. Maggie comes across as such a good down to earth person.
WOW! Thank u SO much for sharing this gem! So little of Kirkpatrick BTS as it is! So grateful u saved this from so many years ago and now shared it with the fans!
Good to see Maggie Kirkpatrick the actress being herself out of that horrid officer uniform. I didn't like The Freak in the series - but admired Maggie for playing such a demanding role - juggling her tough side with the inmates, and her "softer side" with kids and dogs. I grew up watching PCBH as a teen.
Thanks for posting. I just watched this after listening to the Talking Prisoner podcast. It must be a very rare piece of TV. Amazing to see behind the scenes and the sets, and to see what Maggie looked like out of character at the time. You can tell her first love is theatre when she talks about wanting to return. I imagine all the actresses are still a bit bemused how popular it is more than 40 years later. I started watching with my grandma when I was a child in the UK
Fantastic to watch! A very rare video indeed. Great look behind the scenes of the show, plus the added bonus of a lovely interview with Maggie. Thanks for sharing!!
I was one years old but we did not get series here until the early 90s and it was shown very late at night , the series was actually started in late 77 then broadcast in the following year . I love the Wentworth Freak but she does too much talking and weird facial movements , the original Freak was much more scary imo
Maggie thought the sets looked realistic? She must have been the only person who did. If an actress so much as farted in the corridor, the walls trembled !

Met her in the late 80's whilst working and she was super friendly even while receiving abuse from random idiots. She has my respect.
That's terrible you think these idiots would know the difference between fiction and reality
she used to work in The Newtown Hotel, Sydney, barmaid

Absolutely a rare gem!
seeing Maggie skipping dressed up as the freak made me giggle like a young child. loved this...
hihi
God what a find... Great clip. I remember my mother watching this and back in 1984, I would have only been 3yrs old!
She looks so amazing after in the makeup chair. Great actress!
So loved how she pulled the nasty off even though there were times we felt sorry for her after a loss, but not for long! Just loved it.
I just want to go back in time.
That was good! And it was surreal to see The Freak skipping!

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Never seen this before. Love seeing the ‘other side’ of the sets......& Maggies exit down the corridor. 🤣👍🏼❤️
Knew some fellas who met Maggie down at Bondi Beach.Heard that she was super friendly and approachable!
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing this. It's great to see Maggie as Ferguson behind the scenes.

This is amazing, thank you so much for uploading and sharing this with all us Prisoner fans x
She was still in. Character 😂😂 she looks so beautiful and different out of character
That's an actress!! A completely transformed physicality.
Maggie is actually quite pretty. You don't see it when she's playing The Freak.
nice EYES!
Fiona Spence was quite pretty as well. Prisoner did a good job making them up (or down I should say) to be quite severe, plain and hard looking women.
LOL I was gonna say just that. She looks pretty with her hair down & a bit of makeup. She looks much younger too.
That was my first impression. I've never seen this before. Maggie does look quite pretty
my brother mert maggie in london 8 years ago quick said hi she gave him auto graph lovl;ey in real
How come I've never seen this before?!?! That was great! Thanks for sharing :D
She looks so much younger and amazing as herself…Maggie.
Maggie was about 43 when she started Prisoner , the Wentworth Freak is a lot older
@@andrews6341 She was 41. She is born in 1941 and made her first scenes 1982.
Nowadays those studios are full of neighbors interior sets
Brilliant, thanks for sharing :-)
brilliant! thanks!
Thankyou for the upload, always found Maggie to be a fascinating lady
Brilliant what a find
LOVE HER SHES FAB
Freak = Legend
“I think if ever we change the name of the show, we can call it ‘Corridors.’” 🤠🤣
I have met Maggie Kirkpatrick several times and she is such a nice person and the total opposite of Joan Ferguson in every way.
Long time ago now. In 1984 I was 10 years old.
Seems like yesterday.

Great actress Pamela rabe who played the freak Maggie Kirkpatrick in prisoner in cell block h

Nice to come across this video.
Ooooo she was pretty hot out of character.
Brilliant!
Maggie is an absolute delight!
Maggie is great, very talented!!!
Great show 😃😃😃😃😃😃
She was such a good actress
shes grt freek magies class
" ALL RIGHT YOU LOT! THIS IS NOT A HOLIDAY CAMP!," Vinegar
I’ll fix the lot of them. 😂
Liked her character she played it well
Great actress
Love it... Chrissie Latham interviewing The Freak! 🤣
The Freak! Lol, what a legendary character!
She looked much younger than freak😳😨😁
Seeing it all together makes it seem smaller than it seems on the show.
Would have been a hoot to visit the set and pretend to be in an episode.
1984 I was 12
Fergerson the freak looks different out of her uniform looks really friendly on set
OMG Di Morrissey. She’s a bestselling novelist. How did she get this on set visit gig?
Haha that was so cute
4.26 loool
hahahaha love it
I hated Joan Ferguson which meant Maggie is a brilliant actress. Lovely woman outside the show.
You are on a charge! LOL
the cells are a bit like a youth hostel
Them: "it doesn't sound very joan ferguson does it?"
Joan ferguson from wentworth: "wait a minute'
Maggie thought the sets looked realistic? She must have been the only person who did. If an actress so much as farted in the corridor, the walls trembled !
mistofoles I think she was being sarcastic

Actually the walls and bars being wobbly were myths. If you watch the episodes again you’ll see at not point does anything on the set move or tremble.
2:58. Fond Memories, lol. 3:30. The Governor's Office is just feet away from the Rec Room & the Cells just feet to the left.
