Mari is so cocky. I love that stance she takes when she's leaning back on something, hand on hip, with her nose up in the air. She always knows what she's doing and nothing shakes her.
Erica on the megaphone: "You women in there! Can you hear me? this is Mrs Davidson, I've just been to the hairdressers, it's a new year and I have a new style! I'm letting my hair down so you will no longer feel harassed or intimidated when you visit my office. If you stop this riot now, I promise you that you will not lose your buy up for the rest of the week and the department has advised me that you mey be able to have small portions of elcohol in your cells and a toilet to be installed in each cell. Let me make this clear, my hair is not, repeat not tied in a bun which resembles the back end of a feline. That will be all, it's getting windy and cold and I shant stay outdoors too long. Thank yo.
Sounds like an awesome drinking game but you would have to include anytime they mention being short staffed and double shots when Erica puts files in the top draw fileing cabinet.
Very impressed with Ian Smith (Ted Douglas) composing and performing the Giorgio Moroder styled dramatic music, a very talented man. Apparently he also choreographed all fight scenes as well.
There's a riot going on and Margo makes an appearance. Trust her to show up when there's trouble. Dunno how she managed to get herself a new hairdo in solitary lol.
Ever noticed that the inmates watch all sorts of mind numbing stuff on the TV but whenever anything comes on about Wentworth they spring up and turn it off.
I mean, I genuinely do love the Hazel Kent character. She's a proper criminal type. Not one of the exaggerated stereotypes that the writers are so fond of. But the lass is regularly bemoaning that she is stuck in there for years, and can't be with her kids.. THEN charges along at the front of a baying mob in a riot. It's not rocket salad Hazel love. lol
This is 1980's television! The women are taking Steve's clothes off! When did Margo get back? That lame punch by Steve and even lamer fall by Margo LMAO!
Been a long time since we saw sausages in the dining room… Literally they were eating sausage and eggs with Doreen for breakfast a couple of episodes ago. 🙄
And another thing, if I had a pound for every time they say the word "department" I would have been able to afford to buy the complete DVD box set myself including the air fair to pay for it down under. As it happens I havent so a big thank you to PrisonerCBH95 for uploading it, but god do they have to say "Depaaaartment" so flippin much!!!!!!!!
Better off not reading the comments until you’ve been through all 692 episodes. The amount of eejits that spoil future plot lines and dramatic incidents for this show is astounding 🤦🏻♂️
Douglas never learns.... By refusing to negotiate with the women he is just further fueling their anger, which in turn puts the officers trapped inside in even more danger. Staff safety should be of paramount importance to him but all he cares about is power and control for his own purpose. Sandy lacks experience when it comes to handling a riot situation and should have allowed Marie to get more involved, especially as she has had success running one before. Lively episode.
Trust Margo to liven schemes up with such surly negativity. Mrs. Davidson sounds just like my old Deputy Head from all-girl's Boarding School. And Meg is about as much use as a parrot going into bat for The Ashes.
I never understood why Meg freaked out. She was normally quite calm in a riot, especially considering she was held hostage in the last 2 riots and stayed calmer.
Is that Police officer his 5th or 6th character he has played. Hes been Beas ex hubby, a prison officer, a bloke at a bar, a van driver I think and a drunk guy sitting on a curb with Lizzie. god i know they re cycle but between him and Paul Robinson from neighbours they really do hog the bit roles dont they. Still at least they talk, how long has that dark haired woman been a prison officer and never spoken, when they ask her something she either gives a thumbs up or shrugs her shoulders. Half the prison officers never talk, and a couple of the new prison officers look like they should be retiring anyway. Love the expressions they give when a reaction is needed.
Officer 'Mute' Barfield is the dark haired one who doesn't talk. She always looks totally lost and never seems to have a clue as to whats going on !! LOL
Bloody hell - Bea's husband has made more comebacks than Jason Vorhees. 16:11 - "OK, you, stand there and slap your baton against your hand." - does anyone actually ever do that shit...? 41:10 - Margo gently climbs her way down and hurts herself how exactly...? 43:23 - wow - a solid brick wall just moved.
The non-speaking "extras" have an absolute ball in these episodes - Officer Barfield's excitement extended to her almost saying something, but, alas, she changes her mind right at the last minute and resorts to her signature disaproving frown instead 😆 36:33 Tina Murray has a right good tut and eye-roll at Sandy having a go at Margo and crashes her a ciggie!
The amount of comments matches the episode number...or it did until I posted this one. This is also the only one - so far- that I cannot find on DailyMotion.
Agreed, she should be in a social / caring profession, like social worker, counsellor, midwife etc. She's not tough enough to be a screw. You need someone harsh like Vinegar Tits for that.
I know. I used to work across the road from Hyde Park in Sydney and the number of homeless people was horrifying. Bet they would have liked a bed inside and 3 meals a day.
I know legohead Meg's old man was killed in a riot and it's understandable she's frozen over but she's a wreck with this riot and is causing problems for the other screws!
I'm going to start finishing every sentence I say with "very well"... Just like Mrs Davison does..... Very well.
Erica Davidson always reminded me of mixture of Maggie Thatcher & Queen Elizabeth II.
You know it's going to be a great episode when the dramatic music continues through the mugshot credits
Have become glued to this series...I’ve reached the # 240 episode...and still watching ! (Newbie)
You posted this 7 months back! 😂have you finished it yet? This is my third time going through it (Over a 15 year period). And still loving it
@@reoreborn1209, I've lost how many times I've re-watched the series, this does include the original run back in the late 70s/80s
Wouldn’t you just love to wipe the smirk off Powells face
yep, and then wipe Marie Winter's smirk off of her face.
Mari is so cocky. I love that stance she takes when she's leaning back on something, hand on hip, with her nose up in the air. She always knows what she's doing and nothing shakes her.

Davo's hair is her super power
Erica says "Very Well..." about as much as she mentions "The Department"....

RIP, Wayne Jarrat. He was so young. :(
Yes, of a brain tumour. He was only 31 :-(
Very sad.

LOL Margo's "fall" from the table has to be one of the worst "stunts" in TV history
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
and the punch coming from the loft which makes her fall, terrible it doesn't even touch her
This is one of many reasons why I love prisoner 😂😂😂
Never heard Erica mention the words very well so much in this episode.
"nurses wright and brown" constantly used until the late 600 episodes
Very impressed with Ian Smith (Ted Douglas) composing and performing the Giorgio Moroder styled dramatic music, a very talented man. Apparently he also choreographed all fight scenes as well.
I love hearing facts like this. Thank you 😊
The irony his character is completely against prison uproar 😂
No he didn't actually..They also had stunt artists for fight scenes too..Unless your comment is tongue in cheek, ironic lol
It reminds me of a John carpenter movie like escape from new York with all the early synth.
The riot took its toll on the officers so much that Barfield almost said something at 21:35!
There's a riot going on and Margo makes an appearance. Trust her to show up when there's trouble. Dunno how she managed to get herself a new hairdo in solitary lol.
I know and it's really bad.
Margo stuck her finger in a plug socket
She wasn’t in solitary she was in another block
@@tomprice9204that or isolation
Davo on the megaphone 😂
In all her campest finery. Davo on it is Prisoner at its Best.
Ever noticed that the inmates watch all sorts of mind numbing stuff on the TV but whenever anything comes on about Wentworth they spring up and turn it off.
Watched 11 episodes today needless to say I've not got a lot done,oh well.
Yep, sitting here at 5:44 AM and wondering why I do this to myself
Once you start,you cant stop.🤩
@@angelakosmas3218yup … it’s TV crack
I have the flu so I'm not doing anything but laying in bed and binge watching this
Davo gets in a real mood when her hair is a mess
I like how the sheila's come walking out with brooms and Winter says "Good now we can break out" hahahaha
Jim becomes The Terminator ..... go jim go!!! Blimey
40 more episodes until the freak arrives. Not that I'm keeping count or anything 😄
@nikki dericott - neither am I lol
I thought it was just me counting down 😃
I love how the guard sneaks in the kitchen to make a sandwich while on the run.
I'm 34 today (08/10/2022) and I've just realised that I'm now older than Wayne Jarrett was when he died at 31 😭😱💔
I mean, I genuinely do love the Hazel Kent character. She's a proper criminal type. Not one of the exaggerated stereotypes that the writers are so fond of. But the lass is regularly bemoaning that she is stuck in there for years, and can't be with her kids.. THEN charges along at the front of a baying mob in a riot. It's not rocket salad Hazel love. lol
Lettuce hope she sees sense
…."very well" for the 1000th time
Crikey. Gaffney, Winter in the same space! Imagine if Frankie Doyle had been there as well! 🤣
Add in Nola Mckenzie, Bev Baker and David Bridges it would be a right bloodbath haha.
A good ol' fashioned riot at Wentworth. Lovely stuff !!
Mouse eating her sandwich. Too lovely for words!!
I love how she just picks it up without knowing who made it or where it's been.
Mouse still looks the bloody same today (2019) and I mean the same. Grrrr!!!
still cannot believe they ssid she was 19 when she died. She looked 30!
This is 1980's television! The women are taking Steve's clothes off! When did Margo get back? That lame punch by Steve and even lamer fall by Margo LMAO!
Marie Winter......rent-a-riot!
they barricade the door with a bench chair haha love it
This is my suggestion for the best episode of prisoner EVER
Best episode is 326 the end of the 1982 season.
Agree! I got hooked on Prisoner during the Sandy Edwards arc.
you'd expect them to have gone to the governor's office for all the booze she keeps in decanters behind her desk?
Been a long time since we saw sausages in the dining room… Literally they were eating sausage and eggs with Doreen for breakfast a couple of episodes ago. 🙄
I know. They always have sausages.
That barricade though. 😆🤣
@ 29:15
Bea's husband back from the dead ... Again for the 4th time as the cop !
Not even Jesus managed miracles like that lol
He's made almost as many come backs as the magic table cloth
Haha - beat me to it by four years!
Lazarus Smith
You can tell Marie is going to be a big problem for Sandy. Jim Fletcher is one of the best screws. Not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Guess the army experience helps
Sandy's riot was my favourite of the various riots at Wentworth
Who else is here in 2023 binge watching after watching Wentworth for the 3rd time?
I did this last year {it took 11 months) and I'm trying hard not to do it again this year!
Meeeee, i just watched the great fire- 326. Omg the best episode of the whole series!
I’m watching in May 2024.
@@jeanimay8060 June 2024 here.
2024 Anyone?😊
They call the staff , screws constantly, but call the staff room the staff room . Why not screw room
Gaffney's fall is the best piece of action in the history of the universe. Official. I will set my dog on anybody who disagrees.
Great episode xx love how Jim fletcher looks after meg❤
Joan Barfield with that gun though!!! Where did Margo suddenly come from?
val is excellent actress
And Rod Stewart returns
Jeremy Doe 🤣
I though I saw a Goggomobil drive up?
And another thing, if I had a pound for every time they say the word "department" I would have been able to afford to buy the complete DVD box set myself including the air fair to pay for it down under.

So true, I counted 14 mentions in 1 episode a while back.
Erica probably would need to get clearance from the department just to put the kettle on.
Or Fletch mentioning the word ''rosters''.
@@nickprince9881 Hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@@nickprince9881 I wouldn't be surprised.
OMG!! That alarm is sooooo loud!! My cat is freakin out, poor girl. lol but still, poor kitty
Always a turn-on when an episode starts with the riot siren and action music continuing through the normally silent opening mug shot credits!
1st episode of the 4th season.
Lol, Lorna getting excited taking Steve Faulkner's uniform off!
those teeth!!!
LOVE Lorna! 😆😆
Lorna always makes me laugh when she appears, her BAA BAA!! killed me.
Now at the end of episode 246 it was just an alarm bell that Fletch ran off to start - now at the start of episode 247 there is a siren as well.
Good old Prisoner continuity.
Nobody has bothered to tell Erica, i suppose she'll find out when she clocks in at 9am.
"Momma" Davo ain't gonna be too happy when she gets there.
30:24 Colleens smug smirk at Erica refusing to let Jim go into the prison.
Since a lot of this chaos happens as a result of Ted's decisions, why doesn't the ministry just fire him?
+Merilee S Dirty Ted Douglas gets his in the end...GAOLED for corruption!
well for one thing he was a writer on the show dont think he would sack himself
spoiler
Spoiler alert please.
Better off not reading the comments until you’ve been through all 692 episodes.
The amount of eejits that spoil future plot lines and dramatic incidents for this show is astounding 🤦🏻♂️
Powell's smirky badmouthing of everyone around her, even Meg, makes Vera seem like a sympathetic character--and Vera was a complete monster!
the actress who played Powell is brutal, terrible actress who can't stop smirking like a twat when she is not meant to
AmandaClody No, I'm pretty sure the smirking was in the script.
TallSilentGuy Always looks as though Powell is about to burst out laughing, trying to hold back behind her smirks !
I agree, poor acting - fiona was so talented
They must have wanted her to smirk like that.
41:09 Margo’s spectacular fall from grace
😂😂
Douglas never learns.... By refusing to negotiate with the women he is just further fueling their anger, which in turn puts the officers trapped inside in even more danger. Staff safety should be of paramount importance to him but all he cares about is power and control for his own purpose.

LOVE Jim's masculine energy. Total DILF! 😋
Trust Margo to liven schemes up with such surly negativity. Mrs. Davidson sounds just like my old Deputy Head from all-girl's Boarding School. And Meg is about as much use as a parrot going into bat for The Ashes.
I've just realised - the riot marks the end of Erica's beehive hair.
Very well.
There had been a break in production between series 3 and 4. Time for a new style!!
lmao at Hazel, how stupid of her to think they wouldn't use the guns lmao
I never understood why Meg freaked out. She was normally quite calm in a riot, especially considering she was held hostage in the last 2 riots and stayed calmer.
She had to freak out just to let Mrs.Powell feel important. Even during a riot Meg is still thinking of others.
She freaked out because it brought back memories from when her first husband was killed
Has anyone noticed that every hospital scene the tannoy always asks for Drs Wright & Brown?? Or am I just sad ?? 😂😂
Check the lockers😂🤣could Steve really fit in them
ive heard sandy say to kate"with my muscle and your brains "
which is pretty stupid cause kate is a lunatic
margo is a great character.....
Why didn't Steve just stay put in the ceiling. I would have just made myself comfortable and waited it out.

Chris.C Yet somehow Judy supposedly could imitate Barfield's voice. Maybe that was an inside joke. lol
I agree Heather. I think it was !!! Officer Barfield later does get a line though.
He was also the old bloke who gave Mouse a roadside cuppa tea in the bush when she was on the run.
He did get around a bit.
Arrrrrrrgh, I HATE Ted !!!!!!!!!!! how the hell did he morph into Harold Bishop?
Crystal Meth I would say
He put about 100lbs on
By stuffing his huge face with all the cakes at Daphne’s coffee shop and Mrs Mangel’s meals
I knew things were going to go wrong as soon as I heard Mrs Davidson use the word megaphone.
So Gaffneys been in solitary since 1980??
😂 was just thinking that myself.
No, transferred to another block or isolation
@@samisticlife yep pretty much, my little joke there 😁
Bloody hell - Bea's husband has made more comebacks than Jason Vorhees.
16:11 - "OK, you, stand there and slap your baton against your hand." - does anyone actually ever do that shit...?
41:10 - Margo gently climbs her way down and hurts herself how exactly...?
43:23 - wow - a solid brick wall just moved.
Why hasn't Lizzie ran for the booze in Davos office?
She wasn't involved in the riot as she'd been transferred to another block after Colleen caught her with stealing in the kitchen in the last episode
Does Fletch show Meg into the visiting suite (aka the shag shack) ?
Erica...I wonder how many times she has said very well?
10 million in one day
Wow! Great show of X-ray vision there, Sandy! (15:00)
Did I hear fletch when putting his jacket round her shoulders tell meg to get some rest only minutes into the riot😂
If you do not want to talk we will have to retake the prison by force that will mean violence and bloodshed,lol.
OMFG!! I hope Margo was okay after that horrific fall!! Shocked they didn't get a stunt double in for that.
A lot of the music in this episode is sourced from the 'Undergroove' album by Bruton Music. It's on RUclips; it's great.
Omg, has Jim been watching Sheila Florence's epic shoot out in the first Mad Max film or sonething? Lol
Why can't someone brighton all the episodes up i can't see it properly, it's like listening to the radio?
It's supposed to give a dark atmosphere.
watching it on the computer it is dark.. but if you have access to watch it on RUclips on tv, it is so much better
There are brightening episodes also but a bit too bright.
😂funny
Bea ringing the nurse bell and them taking ages to come. Nothing changes 😁
The non-speaking "extras" have an absolute ball in these episodes - Officer Barfield's excitement extended to her almost saying something, but, alas, she changes her mind right at the last minute and resorts to her signature disaproving frown instead 😆 36:33 Tina Murray has a right good tut and eye-roll at Sandy having a go at Margo and crashes her a ciggie!
Margo got a perm while she was in Solitary...
Sandy should shove Margo back into solitary and Marie too ! Hope Bea gets better soon, she'll sort them out !
The amount of comments matches the episode number...or it did until I posted this one. This is also the only one - so far- that I cannot find on DailyMotion.
Shes been traumatized. Shes not an idiot :(
Whom?
Wentworth only boosted this mermerizingly, awesome series!!!!!
really luv coleen powells facial expressions
When she smiles, it's like someone has just whispered something dirty in her ear.
Been better if they'd have got Poe face.
Poor Meg, maybe she should have stuck to the social work, leave the killing to JIm.
Agreed, she should be in a social / caring profession, like social worker, counsellor, midwife etc. She's not tough enough to be a screw. You need someone harsh like Vinegar Tits for that.
Amazing stunt work from Margo! 😂
How come the lights suddenly start working when they get in Erica's office Hazel said the lights were off..... 🤔 🤣
Love the demands from the women... like a bunch of kids lol. I think they are forgetting that they are in a penal institution for a reason! 🤣
I know. I used to work across the road from Hyde Park in Sydney and the number of homeless people was horrifying. Bet they would have liked a bed inside and 3 meals a day.
Look who's back, Margo Gaffney. I thought they transferred her to Barnhurst?
Nope.
No, she asked to be when Bea got her memory back but it was refused
I know legohead Meg's old man was killed in a riot and it's understandable she's frozen over but she's a wreck with this riot and is causing problems for the other screws!
