Poor Carol Burns passed away on December 21st, 2015. She died from cancer. I give my deepest condolences to her husband and children, if she had any children. May she rest in peace.
I was fortunate to meet Carol at the 30 year Prisoner anniversary in 2009. She was lovely and very generous with her time to her fans. A lovely person.
I don't care if anyone agrees with me or not. Prisoner was the greatest soap ever. I am from Trinidad. I could not wait to see it. Soap operas today are NOTHING like "my' Prisoner. Their acting was far superior. They have the greatest writer. I'm not even interested in seeing any new generation. I've recently started looking back at the series on you tube. I'm so sorry some of them are no longer with us. I absolutely loved Lizzie so much and Doreen with her pony tails and Bea Smith. But my favourite always will be Lizzie.
You know, I didn't even want to think about watching Wentworth because I thought it would impact on my feelings toward the original but I'm so glad I got over it and bought all 4 seasons to binge-watch. I still LOVE the original but also love the new version. I think I've watched Prisoner at least 5 times now and could keep watching it on repeat without getting bored. I was never allowed to watch it when it was current but remember sneaking out of bed to try and watch it from around the corner every week, lol. I've only watched Wentworth once. Still in shock over the season 4 finale and have no idea what direction it's going to take next season without Bea. So, yes, I agree with you about Prisoner being the best soap opera of its day. Wentworth isn't just a cheap rip-off - it really does it justice. Best prison series on TV.
Unfortunately, I don't. I bought the DVD season 1-4 box. Had to see what everyone was going on about and I'm so happy I did. Love all the small changes (although some of my favourite prisoners aren't in it)... I think Wentworth is one of the hardest shows to get online these days.
The original was the best, i seen it here in Baltimore, Md..USA for the first time in 1980 and now have every episode and still watch it, Its very addictive and was sad when Vera left and Bea, the original cast was the best and its nice to see those 4 back again.
Both are iconic and unforgettable!!! In the States there is absolutely nothing worth watching these days so i fill that time with Prisoner and I am now content. Ive already watched Wentworth the entire series 3 times. Bravo ladies
I have now been able to watch most of the "Wentworth" episodes on youtube and although I am very greatful to those who uploaded them I'm afraid my heart will always remain with the original "Prisoner Cell Block H" series w/Val Lehman and crew. It will be a cult classic forever in my opinion. I own all the dvd's and have watched the entire set at least 3 times and nothing will ever be able to replace it. I will say this about "Wentworth" I really wish they would have a great many of the old actors from the original series do cameo's and to date have seen only one from Anne Charleston. I'm not sure why they haven't decided to bring any of the old actors back from the original series I think it would really make the show more enjoyable to watch. They could even give them a role that may last a period of time just to give us old "PCBH" fans something to enjoy. : )
thecatman4ever Can't beat Prisoner mate. Not only can you not beat the show, you can't beat the cast either and that 80's charm. I can watch Prisoner over and over again and never get bored of it. Definitely the best Aussie show ever made, and there is some great Aussie shows out there but none will ever beat Prisoner. If you like Aussie shows mate I recommend you watch RUSH if you haven't seen it. That is a great show. And there is a few old Prisoner cast in it. There is loads of Wentworth cast in it. You can watch all 70 episodes on here, I'm on episode 56 at the moment. Nicole da Silva who plays Franky in Wentworth stars in it, I like her in RUSH better than Wentworth.
I'm from USA and don't know anything about the prison series. I like wentworth just fine the way it is. Bringing back old characters would be pointless to the new generation of viewers.
The original came on at 4 o’clock here on the east coast of the US. My friends and I kept the same routine everyday so we never missed an episode! That core cast of characters was amazing Of course you always seem to favor those who were in the first couple of seasons. But so many greats came and went throughout. The beautiful theme song was also amazing. I have the song in my rotation and still listen to it.
@yortko1 No, but for years my friends And I thought it was a British show. At that time, we weren't as familiar with Aussie accents. It sounded British to us. Lol.
@@johannadavis7594 🤣. I watched it when I was a boy here in Australia during the 80's. It's very different now as you said, our accent is much more familiar to Americans now. Of course we Australians grow up on American film and television and your accent is just as familiar to us as our own. 🤣
@yortko1 Paul Hogan was responsible for bringing the aussie accent attention in the US. It was before crocodile Dundee. He did a beer commercial here. We didn't know who he was, but everyone was quoting him from the commercial. Lol
Its 2015, im 34, and I just now discovered this shows existence, im on episode 3.. only 689 episodes to go! Anyway, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new show Wentworth, so I had to check out Prisoner. I like it so far! ♡
KattsCradle Bedtime Stories Haha. I first watched it about 3 years ago and I watched an episode every night until I got to the "Freak" and then I stopped watching cos she freaks me out. That show is very very (!!!) addictive. You should definitely keep watching. It is fantastic!
In 2015, I'm 35 and I first saw Prisoner when I was 7 in 1987. It took until I was nearly 21 in 2001 to see the series finish on British TV. Now I've been enjoying Wentworth for the last 2 years. I love both, but the original will always be best. My favourite non Wrestling TV show of all time. I'm a huge Wrestling fan.
I loved watching the original Prisoner in the days, but I still got hooked on this re-vamped version it always brings me back to the original characters when I was watching it.
My friends & I were big fans of Prisoner. The half hour edited episodes of Prisoner were shown on WGN9 in Chicago USA back in 1979. The show was pulled from the WGN's schedule after only 1 year without any explanation. I was happy to see recently that Prisoner was available to watch on RUclips & have finally been able to catch up after all these years. I have over 500 more episodes to go.....Great Show!
So happy I came across this video!! I didnt know that Wentworth was a remake of Prisoner cell block H ... Started watching Wentworth on Netflix about a month ago. I quit watching it after season 4, as I was quite aghast that the main character Bea Smith, whom I became so attached to was killed off. Iv`e never seen a TV show where the main character bites the dust, until Wentworth ... Danielle Cormack IMHO was like Captain Kirk, Captain Picard, Captain Janeway is to Star Trek .. What I mean by that is being iconic!! Killing off the main character, is like killing off the life and breath of the series. That`s why I chose to use that analogy.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT 1:18 lov how fiona is way taller then all of them plus she still looks as lovely as ever cant see the cheek bones as much anymore tho
It’s 2023 and channel 5 in the UK are rerunning both wentworth and prisoner personally this is my ninth time of watching all 692 episodes to say I’m a fan, I’m obsessed love it.
They all came to the UK in 1989 to perform in a big theater the UK in Manchester with the exact same stages as prisoner I met bea Smith doreen and I am not sure who else I was a huge fan I was star struck amazing ro watch
No disrespect to Wentworth but it ain't prisoner and it never ever will come near it.the original Bea,Erica,vinegar titts,Lizzie, Doreen are the real classic.
I love all the old PCBH cast but I also love the Wentworth cast. I admit that I was not keen, when originally heard about Wentworth but blimey they pulled it off and it's still going. If anything drawn in a younger crowd wanting to watch PCBH to see where it was all inspired from.
What a great era of aussie tv nothing comes close I'm so sick of reality tv these days it's good to see Wentworth doing well I'll have to back into it.
This is a compelling series and I am loving the adaptation. Star Wars fans watched prequels to see how Anakin transformed into Darth Vader and I am equally captivated to see the transformation of Vera Bennett into Vinegar Tits.....her tragic downfall to the sour side.....
Unfortunately a lot of modern series' have the wow and excitement factor, but they don't have the heart of a series like Prisoner. It was from a different era with different social views.
Still love Prisoner and more so than Wentworth.I watched it when it was originally on and am now watching again on Foxtel. Still have to wonder why they carried the names over too to Wentworth when a few cast members were killed off in Prisoner.
Why does every show (just about) have to have remakes? I don't see the point. Once the show has been done, leave it alone and walk down Memory Lane by watching the one and only programs on DVDs or here on RUclips.
I'd love to see these girls in a cameo or as relatives of the new characters. collet could play lizzie's mum and val could play bea's mum or jacs' pissed of sister :)
Doreen's character in Prisoner is not the same as Doreen's character in Wentworth. Neither is Vera Bennett. In Prisoner, Vera's character somewhat reminds me of Joan Ferguson's character in Wentworth. Vera's character in Wentworth is more likeable. I'm only on episode 33 of Prisoner. Just started binge watching a few days ago. I like comparing the shows. Both have their own unique twists. I like how Prisoner isn't as intense as Wentworth but still keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting to see the next episode. I also prefer the lack of profanity in Prisoner. Seems less vulgar. Both storylines have things that make your jaw drop. Especially the ending of season 5 of Wentworth. So crazy to see some of the main cast from Prisoner all these years later! Carol Burns was pretty in her older age.
It is grittier, tougher, and more shocking. So true and they had Two Other Versions and of course in the Old School ones, there were no Blacks, or Thailand Ladies who look at Wentworth as a Paradise. I saw the Thailand Prison and it's horrifying especially with those Three Folks from Australia who did time. They got out, if anything it was like a modern day version of Midnight Express.
stuartpatto1976 If one doesn't know how to spell the name of one's own country, but does know how to spell the name of a television programme, then yes you may be right in your assumption that he has a learning difficulty. If that is the case, then I hope my comment aided in his learning. It is nothing to be ashamed of and I wish him well.
Sean French Wow ok, I didn't realize I spelt Britain like that, I do tend to spell words funny when I rush on my keyboard, very supercalifragilisticexpialidocious of you to feel so passionate to point that out tho. :D
SAY WHAT NOW, THIS IS BACK ON TELEVISION ANYONE OUT THERE CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF THE IS ON IN THE UNITED STATES AND WHAT NETWORK. I HAVE NOT SEEN IT OR MAYBE OVERLOOKING IN LOS ANGELES CALIFONIA. HELP
I watched it as a preteen in the 70s. I could have sworn it was titled Prisoner, Cell Block H, not just Prisoner. Did I just make that up in my own head??
no, it was just Prisoner in Australia, but it was known as Prisoner: Cell Block H in the UK to avoid confusion with other TV shows such as The Prisoner. I add in the Cell Block H part in descriptions so that UK fans find it
Prosinor cell block H is the best I saw it from the first episode to the last twice. Its amazing . The new one is crap . You just can't beat the original one.
Lisamarie Dean You can go to the Prisoner reunions every February. She was at the 2011 one. it is fairly cheap as well. They come out and chat to you, you have a BQ with you, and sign loads of autographs for you. Every Feb it is in Melbourne in a little bungalow. It is very intimate only about 10 of you go, so you get to talk to them all properly.
I love prisoner I'm watching episode 655 right now but it's not the same when the original cast members left bea Doreen Lizzie Frankie even though it's a fantastic show
The original prisoner went from strength to strength once Joan Ferguson (Maggie Kirkpatrick) was introduced.
She definitely made it worth watching.
i also loved vinegar tits story lines
My favourite era of Prisoner is when Bea and Joan are in it together.
Absolutely loved Prisoner. Bea of course was my favourite character. Her strength, depth and sympathy was played magnificently by Val Lehman.
Poor Carol Burns passed away on December 21st, 2015. She died from cancer. I give my deepest condolences to her husband and children, if she had any children. May she rest in peace.
She looked so youthful and healthy here. RIP
She didn't have children
She should have stayed in the show
@@dementednun1175Carol wanted to leave after 20 episodes
I was fortunate to meet Carol at the 30 year Prisoner anniversary in 2009. She was lovely and very generous with her time to her fans. A lovely person.
Prisoner was a fabulous series ...Mother of all shows ...😊
I'm watching it at the moment and it's a better show than almost anything on TV these days in my opinion.
Yes we loved pcbh in uk especially in the 80s ❤💯

I think we do. I will do some enquiries. Thanks so much for the info.

Omg so loved prisoner cell block h wentworth is great aswell
No matter what I still love the old PRISONER
i would love the old cast to take some part in an episode.
I wish one of the original cast members would join for season 8 or 9 as an OG OG top dog.
I love this show Bee Lizzy Doreen just awesome thank you ladies .
I love both Wentworth and Prisoner.
Thank you Mike Devery :)
This was the shit! I loved Prisoner Cell Block H! Thank you for the memories ladies!
I think I watched every single episode of the original Prisoner: Cell Block H (as we knew it in the UK) at least once!
The new Wentworth doesn't have the same charisma as the original. And the original theme tune is timeless.
love the new show!!!
Love Wentworth so Much Cant Wait for season 2 to Start

Add love to have meet some of the cast wee kizy was a angel
Nothing beats the original. NOTHING!
What a great era of aussie tv nothing comes close I'm so sick of reality tv these days it's good to see Wentworth doing well I'll have to back into it.
RIP Carol 💘❤💘
Beautiful
This is a compelling series and I am loving the adaptation. Star Wars fans watched prequels to see how Anakin transformed into Darth Vader and I am equally captivated to see the transformation of Vera Bennett into Vinegar Tits.....her tragic downfall to the sour side.....
Well I must say Cell Block H was a smash hit , love it, I was twelve years old then.
I am a big fan of all those people
I watched some of Prisoner back in 1981 here in Canada. It was called Caged Women here.
Unfortunately a lot of modern series' have the wow and excitement factor, but they don't have the heart of a series like Prisoner. It was from a different era with different social views.
I prefer the original - Prisoner
Donna Lowe Both shows are great.
I just enjoy them both!
I totally agree with that I still watch it till this day
Bloody oath the original episodes are way better
Me too, one and only one Wentworth 😁
Love Wentworth
love it
I wish they would run prisoner cell block H 1 more time On ITV 3 channel 10Please we are desperate for you to do again we love the original B Smith
Ok i have woken up lol.I think PBH is the boom just finish watching ep 260 and so far i am happy
Nice 💯
Love you you are so Wright
Margo gaffney(Jane Clifton) was my favourite character on prisoner.....the original
The passing of the torch so to speak.
I love you val
UK loves you
i'm 29 and i was introduced. never loooked back
Nothing like the OGS OF PCBH
The old cast was 100000000000 times better.
Wentwrth is the best show on television period!!!
Everybody wants to copy what everyone else is done imagine how people felt when this amazing Show first came out
I remember val used to be a regular on central weekend. She was a real star on the debate show having valid points.👍
It started in 1979...and continued for several years...that would make it the 80s...not the 70s
where can i find it on net? love too see the new show form e 1 .. please help me
Its on netflix☺
they should have brought back mum
WlN!!!
Damn straight

Great entertainment
Of course it's a far cry from the real world if prison but very entertaining just the same
They caught lightning in a bottle with the original show! Wentworth has the problem of always being compared to Prisoner.
is the host related to Julia morris? they look alike!
My favourite character is Jacs.
we even love Wentworth in Britain !! but then us brits love this sort of thing lol
yip you got that right. prisoner, bad girls and wentworth. amazing prison dramas.

LOVED cbh!!!!!! Blockie here! wentworth ratttles!!!
my only gripe is.......... where is the FREAK!!! we neeed the FREAK
We lost so many of the cast the past 8 years
Prosinor cell block H is the best I saw it from the first episode to the last twice. Its amazing . The new one is crap . You just can't beat the original one.
did carol burns meet Nicole da silva :)
lizzie!!!! LOVED THAT WOMAN!!
Love and adore Fiona Spence--she's still beautiful, I think!
I wish it were possible to meet her; would be such a dream come true. ♥x
Lisamarie Dean You can go to the Prisoner reunions every February. She was at the 2011 one. it is fairly cheap as well.

It is very intimate only about 10 of you go, so you get to talk to them all properly.

Who is that next to fiona spence (vera) left hand side
That is Patsy King who played Governor Erica Davidson in the Prisoner Cell Block H
Wasn't Kerry Spence Fiona's Sister who played Lynn Warner.
@@laminage Kerry Spence was part of the crew of the series, either writing or producing - you're thinking of Kerry Armstrong as Lynn Warner.
