- Welcome to an exclusive episode of Talking Prisoner. In this special edition, host Matt Batten brings the infamous 'Blackmoor Prison' to your screens. Venturing to the real-life location in Spotswood, Melbourne, Matt uncovers the gritty backdrop that served as the stirring narrative for many gripping episodes of Prisoner.
Often ominously referred to as "The Black Hole," Blackmoor Prison is shrouded in the darkest tales of corruption, exploitation, and thrilling prisoner fights, all orchestrated by the notoriously ruthless governor, Ernest Craven, portrayed by Ray Meagher. This prison served as the battleground for 'top dogs' like Roo Morgan and Rita Connors, whose stories kept viewers at the edge of their seats.
Venture with Matt into the chilling hallways of this iconic location, formerly a pumping station at Scienceworks. As we traverse its now-renovated structures, you'll catch glimpses of the space that once brimmed with tensions and high-stake riots.
Blackmoor's narrative culminated in a heart-stopping riot, ignited by Rita Connors, resulting in an inferno that razed the prison to the ground. Parallelly, the inmates at Wentworth were driven to a rooftop protest by Kath, echoing the defiance brewing at Blackmoor.
So, gear up for a captivating journey as we revisit the infamous Blackmoor Prison, delving into its history and exploring its present. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to our channel for more such behind-the-scenes tours and exclusive content.

Love it! I have watched PCBH since I was 5 years old when I used to sneak up late (now 38) it's still my escapism show to go to!
I was 8 when I first started watching it
I was also 8 when I started watching! My mum would Tape it for me because it was on Sunday nights late and I had school in the morning!! Those were the days. ❤️🤣🤣🤣👌

Excellent. I bet if you listen carefully, you can hear the haunting sound of... Margo practising Midnight Special 😂
Sorry to be a pedant, but wasn't that Woodridge rather than Blackmoor?

@@TalkingPrisoner Soooo enjoying the channel....looking forward to future interviews.....determined to get over to Oz for an event....been trying for few years now but timing never right...hopefully next year.
@@TalkingPrisoner
Hey Matt, TP is getting greater and greater with all these amazing guests. Could I please enquire about the Rowena Wallace, Lynn Ford and Agneshka interviews?? Did these/are these going ahead?
Also would love it if you get Nigel Bradshaw, met him at a prisoner event in UK and he seemed a great guy and not someone talked about a lot by priz fans.
Keep up the great work, it'd be great to attend an Oz event one year and meet you too.
@@shaunbain4108 Thanks so much for your support…We are still yet to shoot those episodes but they are happening…
Mad max filmed here as well
Amazing movie
Hey wonder if you can find the tunnel exit that Judy and Mouse came out of. Also the infamous spot where Kathy Hall's wig fell off. A place as famous as the X in Deeley Plaza.
Would be very cool to see
Hay Matt , the famous Blackmoor go inside 😊
Unfortunately inside is not what you see on Tv
Was amazing to visit this location
