Well I'll deffo get the first one. See how it goes. Can you imagine you start collecting and miss a volume or whatever, and then you cant get it etc....
Look at the price of the boxset though. I know that's AUS $, but even so I could NEVER justify spending that in one go.
id really only want the later series, but i am tempted...
I want it.![]()
No way I can afford it though.
I have considered buying one of those knock-offs on ebay but I fear for the quality.
Supposedly theres an Aussie TV channel coming to Sky that will be showing it, but it would be an impossible task to be in every time it was on to record it properly.
I still have about 200 episodes on VHS from the 90s.![]()
Oh MY!! Remember that really camp continuity announcer they used to have when C5 were showing Prisoner in the wee small hours...well just LOOK what one of his other CLAIMS TO FAME is
Bill was senior announcer for Channel 5 Television from its launch until two years ago. His irreverent style proved influential throughout the industry. He is particularly well remembered by many for his wonderfully camp commentary over the closing credits of the channel's late-night/early-morning run of Prisoner: Cell Block H.
Bill has also written a hit song. He provided both the words and music for Su Pollard’s number two hit single, Starting Together. Back to the present and, on top of his radio commitments, Bill regularly reviews the national Press on “Breakfast” on BBC2 and on BBC News 24.
And oh...
Oh HOW MANY YEARS
Is it NOW Maurice?
LOL
Anyway, Im FUCKING TEMPTED by this, but I know my best friend will get it, so I might just NICK HIS to be honest...
It's been too long, it's been too long...
I've done a deal with someone on another board who's buying these, and he's sending me copies at £5 per box set! He's flogging the originals on ebay and has made back more than it cost to import them in the first place.

I've watched the first 8 episodes so far and it's BETTER than I remember.![]()
I'm really tempted to buy this too.![]()
And does anyone else agree that Judy's Halfway House was the LAST place you'd want to go after being released from prison?![]()
I really want them
I REALLY REALLY want them
But I just CANNOT justify the expense
It's been too long, it's been too long...
I'd forgotten about this, it's on the "coming soon" page now.

Up to episode 31 now - and just seen Noeline Burke for the first time. What an icon! What a chin!
omgies shampoo are totes cool when i was 17 back in 94 i totally wanted to be them even tho i was boy. but now i'm a girl so it all worked out alright really!
Oh I love Noeline Burke, she reminds me of Neil from The Young Ones.
and that's actually quite a FLATTERING picture of her![]()
Hmm.. I really NEED those Edna Pearson episodes, but otherwise I've saw it twice on TV already. Surely there'll be a UK release? Don't think I'll bother till then.
Who on earth wants a boxset of Prisoner Cell Block H![]()
Says the Dr Who obsessive!
You are a depraved bird of hate, get out of my sight!
I thought only uber-butch lesbians watched it
Cell Block is the gayest show ever.
Sebastian Flyte is a rubbish gai!

That makes http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ingmar-Bergm...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd look like a SNIP
Homes Place said the quality was good in an old thread.Originally Posted by That One
I bought bootlegs of the final and first episodes of Sons And Daughters on eBay.. did the JOB.. but if you've seen them before they may as well be top quality
lmao.. of this I was not aware. He made the Channel 5 episodes almost worth watching for his comments at the end.Originally Posted by Donna Summer
I've now got the first 128 episodes on DVD! I never in my wildest dreams imagined something so wonderful could actually happen.
I'm only up to episode 83 though, but it's exciting stuff! Terrorists have just stormed the prison and shot Erica Davidson, who wandered into their line of fire in sky blue frock with handbag in hand, and Alf Roberts off of Home and Away has just punched Meg Jackson!

Did she write a STERN MEEMO?
And oh...

I'm on episode 200 now!
Bea has lost her memory! Prompting a very melodramatic flashback to her first murder, committed whilst wearing a hideous purple basque and ENORMOUS wig when she tries to strangle Margo Gaffney!

Well NO.. not until it gets a UK release.
I still can't believe I bought the box set...
Anyway, up to episode 181 here.
OOOH
