Aussie series - 'Prisoner: Cell Block H'

[Neil]

Jesus! It ran for nearly 700 episodes! That's VERY impressive given its scope/scale...

I loved watching it!

Is it on DVD yet?

I am a big fan of the show and I wish they would release season box sets. I got the triple disc 'greatest hits' so to speak, but it doesn't really show you the best the series had to offer (apart from the gripping finale: "Fer-gu-son! Fer-gu-son!".

In Aussieland there's a fortnightly magazine dedicated to the show which has a free DVD with three episodes on. It's been going since like 2004 or something and it still ain't finished.

Oh god. That series is so awful! Haha, It used to air on real late television around here. Haha. It's so cheesy it's... I don't know.

This always used to be on when I rolled in to my mums house all stoned and stuff (dead late, after midnight), I loved the wobly sets and Bea Smith threatening to throw folks onto her press or "bash" them if they didn't acknowledge that she was "top dog" :D

Loads of Aussie soap stars were in it, Alf "flamin' 'ell" Stewart from Home and Away, Harold Bishop from Nieghbours etc. Great stuff! It was part of the Aussie soap invasion that took place in the late eighties. :cool:
