I think creating a character an being able to convince the audience to feel either good or bad regarding the character are the emotions the writers and actors consider the reactions they are looking for. We couldn't watch a series about women in prison and have this range of emotions and characters if everyone was nice and sweet. The show would be boring. This is successful writing and acting for the early 1980's
I can't believe the amount of abuse Meg has received in the latter seasons. How many times can one person be punched in the face? I'm surprised she's not been admitted with Cass Parker!
Mazzano Blue Meg Morris - Given that she was in the show from beginning to end, they should really have given her a rags to riches type story arc, where at the beginning of the series she is just a warden, and then over the course of the series she becomes Deputy Governor, Governor, and finally towards the end of the series, she becomes Head of Correctional Services. That arc would have given Meg more scope for character development and made her more interesting. Also it would have been more appropriate for Meg to have that long term story arc as she was a prison baby. Prisoner Cell Block H could have been the story of Meg where she rises from nothing (prison baby) to a position of power within the service (Head of Correctional Services), the Top Dog of the Department as it were. We could have seen a more business-like, authoritive Meg emerge as she rose through the ranks.
i have no idea why they kept such a lousy actress so long. That is why the show did not last, i never seen such a lousy unprofessional actress in my life.
I agree and happen to know that in that era you could install peep holes and dead locks because when I left my ex and moved with my 4 y.o. daughter, it was the 1st thing my father did in our new place.
I don't think chains make much of a difference. One good kick and they will fail. Peep holes make good sense but we don't have them much in the UK. I don't open the door unless I'm expecting someone. I knock on the window until the caller stands back from the door and I can see who it is.

8:00 I've only just noticed Marlene looks like Shelley Winters. 12:45 Isn't it a bit weird that nobody has taken away Lexi's ghetto blaster up until now?
Thank you! I watch Prisoner while I prepare dinner and I NEVER fast-forward shows I love… but I have a few times. It was soooo drawn out, so dull and as you say, utterly revolting. And can I add… unrealistic.
Good thing about Len despite his evilness is that he does help out the occasional inmate whereas the Freak doesn't unless she wants something like the portrait.
Len Murphy what a waste of a good villian he's only just getting started and then it's over . Ferguson should have been axed instead we've seen all the shades of her character by now . We've seen that she can barely fight her way out of a paper bag . and could never be as menacing as she was during her first year. So much more could have been done with Murphy as governor .
After Bea left the the viewing figures were on a steady decline. If they'd have axed the freak then the ratings would have nosedived so much that it wouldn't have lasted till 1986.
just because she was related, doesn't mean it's nepotism. Stop spreading unsubstantiated rumours about people when you don't know any of the decisions made backstage.
Oh, there’s nothing like that good old fashioned Meg Morris Bash House Shuffle to kick off an episode with. I mean, come on! Who does love a right hook air punch with a 1/2 second delayed bitch slap sound effect? I know I do! And I laugh every time!
Yes, that is the same man who came looking for his fiancée Litza at Driscoll House, around the time of the Nola McKenzie era coming to an end at Wentworth. 😃
Jane doe is the same actress who was playing the SAME role but a Greek in the beginning, getting help by Karen Travis. Hate when they do that, they must have thought the viewers were complete idiots 😂😂
@@booth2710 her farther had a lot to do with either filming/directing or paying wages not sure exactly what but word was apparently that was how she stayed in for so long as the amount of critisisim the show got cause of her that was the only thing that saved her , as much as she was annoying no where near the amount that voice on -ANGLE sounded like a 5 yr old skool kid but worse lol
@@andrewmagro7703 lexis mum was the producer not sure if her dad had anything to do with the show or the making of the show but her mum was definitely a producer
This was originally broadcast in 1985 and by that time Culture Club had already released their "flop" album "Waking Up With The House On Fire" and was in decline. I wonder when this was filmed versus broadcast.
I saw on a documentary that the Boy George stunt was realized as mistake fairly early on as BG had already waned in popularity making any preocupation with him 'out of date' in reality.
According to Boy George, Waking up with the house on fires songs were written in three days. You can definitely tell, the songs on the album were true flops. Waste of my $12.99 i paid to buy it in 1985. I only liked the war song.
I suspect Len's largesse towards Bobbie is motivated more by how it'll make him look in the eyes of "The Department" than any concern for her rehabilitation.
1:35 - 😬🙈 Seen it all now. A farewell party for a Cockroach 🙈😬. Wow Writers must of run out of idea's & storylines. They was really scrapping a Barrel with the cockroach. The writers must of bin High as as kite. When they made up this storyline...😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂
Ugh, this is my third watch of the series and I was dreading Lexie's arrival. She is the most annoying and obnoxious character of the entire show. She shows up and they instantly try to make her the star by centering her in almost every scene... The Lexie era of Prisoner is excruciating. I wasn't shocked to find out her mother was one of the producers. She clearly had connections.
Len seems to be going to an awful lot of trouble to help Bobbie, I wonder what's in it for him because swines like him don't do anything for nothing. Myra seems to be waking up to the fact that Geoff is a genuine guy and has descended from her high horse somewhat. Lexie's arrival should liven things up a bit.
Perhaps because he isn't really a swine. The help he gave Bobbie came out of the goodness of his heart. But thanks to corrupt and spiteful officer Ferguson, his career and life was completely ruined (and for something he DIDN'T do)
35.24 "How's the POSTER❓" says Lexi to Bobby It makes No sense that Bobby did not say "I had a BOY GEORGE POSTER* a few weeks ago in my cell, you can have it if you like because I took it down off the wall"🤷🏻♀️ OR "I'd let you have it but I chucked it" 🤷🏻♀️
Same here. And her usual "Lexie's Law" when she puts two and three together to come forward with 55, accusing people of all sorts on a whim. As for her usual bouncing about the prison like some attempt to become a central character was nothing short the obvious need by the writer to script her a central roll.
Yep, thought the same thing. That Marie Trevor ruined Prisoner pretty much. Not only did she write ridiculous stuff, she whinged to get her bratty real life daughter to play Lexie. In saying that though, I actually didn't mind Lexie when she first came about as before her it was getting boring and ridiculous, so least she did add a little spark back in...Though it was only short lived before she got on your nerves and just stayed too long. She would have been better if she was one of those in and out ones and would have been bearable. Ohwell, still not as bad as the Barnhurst 5....anyone is better than Nora, including Emile and that's saying something!
Pixie never complained about Judy being close to her she didn't know how to act after she found out Judy was in love with her she thought things wud change between them pixie has always been close to Judy she says a couple of times that Judy was her best friend......
I think the only other people that will be in this when Lexi goes is meg, Anne and Mrs Barry plus a few back ground ones she is in for the long haul ,😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now they’ve recycled that yamil’s husband. He, like her, was a Greek in a very early episode and was married to her, now they have both changed their nationalities to Middle Eastern and still end up in prison. Will they ever learn?
SPOILER FREE: So I’ve just finished another lacklustre episode. Of course, I was devastated when Val Lehman left with such a inconsequential fizzle, then our wonderful Lizzie Birdsworth made her exit. I’ve found the softening of Joan very rewarding and am genuinely still rooting for her and Shaun to get reunited… but apart from that story-line, I feel so underwhelmed. More bombs. More stalker/attacks/abuse for poor Meg who seems to be stuck in a repetitive spin cycle of writer’s room sadism. I miss both Ms Davidson and Ms Reynolds… feel so numb to the new male warden who’s worked his way up to acting governor (just reminds me of a knock-off Jock Stewert). I will stick with Prisoner to the end and I am already a huge fan for life and am certain I will repeat the series all offer again in the near future for a second-watch. Everyone seems to wax lyrical about Myra but she just seems dull to me. They have under-utilised Judy Bryant since she got back in, and written her to be a bit dull and incompetent - the very opposite of the driven, brave and motivated fighter who fought for and built-up Driscoll House. I feel like the series has lost it’s way. I don’t care if these three men get blown up, nor do I care about Bobbi or Bobbi’s cockroach friend or newcomer ‘Girl George’. I will watch until the end, but I’m throughly underwhelmed. Thank F*** for Joan.
Thanks for uploading all these episodes...Must of took age's...Much appreciated.
Poor Meg nearly everytime she opens her door she's attacked or slapped or held hostage. Talk about jinxed house 😂😂
Needs a spyhole
Funny how us PCBH fans really can't stand so many of the characters and storylines yet we watch through the entire show over and over.
We never comment about the things we like, only the things we hate.
But I think that is why we can't stop watching, because it is so bad, giving it a cult following. But I do like Lexie.

Love the little nod to 'Church of the Poison Mind' which plays when Lexi comes in.
The actress that plays Lexie Patterson, aka Pepe Trevor is the daughter of the producer of the show, Marie Trevor.

@@chris.c9885 Lady Gaga was born in 1986, the last year of PCBH and now she's an adult. So i agree, the new Wentworth could bring in a look alike.

the cockroach storyline is very silly

Good thing about Len despite his evilness is that he does help out the occasional inmate whereas the Freak doesn't unless she wants something like the portrait.

Lol! Saw the thumbnail for episode 510, seems Boy George joins the cast. 😄
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Lexi
Oh good, Boy George shows up! I can hardly wait!
The actor playing Lexie Patterson; Pepe Trevor, got the role out of nepotism as her mother was one of the shows producers; Marie Trevor.

Marlene Warren and Matt Delaney belong together.
