I was signed off sick with high blood pressure at the beginning of June 2024. Found this and have become COMPLETELY obsessed - I’m ashamed to admit how many episodes I watch per day (and shamefully into the early hours…). Well, it’s nearly the end of July and I’m also in the 500s… 🫣😂 Really, really, grateful to the uploader - I didn’t get the opportunity to watch this when it was originally shown in the U.K. in the 80s as I was too young, and was still at school when it was shown on Channel 5. However, I have never forgotten my mum, aunts, and grandmother raving about it. Now it’s my turn and I LOVE IT!!! 🥰 I have my favourite characters but I really can’t stand The Freak! At this stage, she is just a nasty prisoner in an officer’s uniform - it’s very true when she’s been told that she’s on the wrong side of the bars! She gets me so frustrated! 😤 Once again, thanks to the uploader! ❤
It seemed like the writers were trying to recreate a lof of the old times, like when Judy and Bea would have a falling out over someone like Georgie, or Andrea and so on.
@@markxxx21 I think those were convincing characters though where as Angel is obviously a crap stirrer I'd have expected Myra to have clocked on to her and even Judy is meant to be quit sussed.
Angel is like a Chucky doll with a Thompson Twins haircut and the personality to match. Like Elvis sang, she's the devil in disguise. The Cliff Richard song devil woman would be her theme song lol.
RIP Cliff Young he won $10K in a Syd to Melb Marathon and split his winning between the other runners and kept none of it for himself, a true gentleman. Nice to see him on the show.
5:04 - "They've gone to so much trouble to cut all the letters out". Finally I understand how Meg ends up in the sack with half the male cast - she is _very_ easily impressed. The way that everyone instantly believes everything that Angel says to them is bloody annoying.
Exactly my thought, "oh dearest green green little Meg. You were born in a prison. You've been in the prison service for the entirety of your adult career...and you've no idea what a chain letter is"
What amazes me, is that half of them are supposed to be con artists themselves and they fall for everything that evil little bitch tells them in her fake voice.
new tablet and forgotten all passwords thank god I can carry on watching these on episode 479 wud of cried if I had to start from episode 1 thanks for the awesome uploads there amazin☆★☆★☆★♡♥♡★☆☆★♡♥
Seriously, Myra and Judy, and Dot and Rabbit can't be adults, sit down and have an adult conversation as to what's going on so they can get to the bottom of who caused the conflicts?? How long does that pipsqueak think she can get by with the crap she's causing before all signs point to her as the culprit??
It sounds like a mix of English, American English believe it or not and Welsh or something that sounds different to me (I'm American). It sounds like an American woman doing a bad impression of something across the Atlantic lol
Angel didn't even need to lie and say Judy told her she's jealous of Myra being top dog as it's been obvious from the beginning it was the same with Bea, moaning about every decision she made she couldn't win with her and would make her role as top dog difficult at every chance possible. Never bothers to apologise too just acts as if nothing happened.
bunnyjadeboo tait I continually wonder how the hell anyone could stand everything smelling like smoke! The laundry being laundered for the old people’s home! As well as the hospital, all reeking with cig smells! OMG! No! So happy we don’t have to deal with all that now!
That's why Wentworth season one they smoked outdoors n used electronic lighters attached to the wall then the "department" announced that smoking was to be banned lol
@@KenyanBunnie you may be quite surprised to know that at that time smoking was allowed a lot of places in Nursing homes and also hospitals you could get a smoking or non smoking room sort of like a hotel.
Meg on the threat letter: "But this one's different - they've gone to all the trouble of cutting the letters out!" -- honestly sometimes I don't know how the actors got through their lines with a straight face
She is one of the best villains the show ever had. I also like the dynamic with three young girls inside. It was rare you had that. When was the last time you had that? Lynne, Doreen and Barbara Davidson???
@@Whocares17032and a bit like the Aussies doing a Swedish accent 😂 do you remember that weird woman? But I agree with you about the Poms trying to do an Aussie accent, it never sounds right 😆
I think Angel is no Angel and wants people to think she is naive. Gotta be honest I fell for her act the second she came in the prison and was telling the others how she ended up in there. Also I think she delbratly killed her parents in the house fire.
Angel is clearly sour and manipulative underneath her sweet disguised appearance, but at least she isn't one which is just there to make up the numbers like some I could mention. Given the job Ann is doing, it was only a matter of time before someone started to target her. She is not too bad as governors go, but nevertheless she is still in charge and responsible for what happens on the other side of the fence.
The Freak must need to look over her shoulder constantly and sleep with one eye open, considering the amount of abuse that she's dished to the inmates.
He was an Australian potato farmer and a marathon runner. He won the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultra Marathon in 1983 when he was 61 year's old. He died in 2003 at the age of 81

I cannot understand why this show only ran for the first season here in the States back in the 80s.WPIX based out of New York City broadcasted it late at night after the 11:00 news.
okay can we please resurrect Bev and bring her back she made it feel like a real prison and not a daycare center and by the way can we also have Bev take care of the pixie wannabe.. Bev should have stayed around a whole lot longer she would have made an awesome Top Dog
So even if your kid is dying, you’re a lagger for being scared and getting help? But then if the mom just let her....die or something, they’d still have shit to say. Lol. A mess!🤦🏾♀️
27:00 Run, Willy! I know what happens to him. Not even stuffed animals are safe in Wentworth. I remember when Doreen's teddy was beheaded (Karen Travers sewed it back on again).
4:00 Here we go again with the fallen angel... Myra send that little waif of a girl to coventry.... And now again with Dot. But Good going Angel, you actually made Joan worry LOL
At least Dennis didn't get chucked in the head with a stone. Oh well! It didn't take Marie long to be caught again did it? Good Night fellow blockmates. I go in early to work tomorrow. HA! Angel pulled the fire alarm.
Wasn't the Governor of Blackmoor...... it was Cynthia Leech.... a prison warder who makes Joan seem like Mary Poppins. We never see Cynthia, we only hear her voice. In one episode, Joan goes to meet her, but we only see her from the back....and later, we see her hands, in black leather gloves.
15:18 Joan is a total hypocrite. Has a go at other officers for taking personal calls and she tells Dennis and Heather to leave the room as her call is exactly that
36:30 OMFG meg for the past 4 years of Wentworth history the department have only done two things..1. get a camera crew into the prison to make THEMSELVES look good so nobody sees how crooked like the freak they are and 2. only get a doctor in or social worker when they're blackmailed by bea or other prisoners!
I was there that day or shall I say that night when cliff young pounded his way up Bourke St mall I was one of the thousand ppl that started running to Westside shopping centre there were about 50 of us left when I gave up running and caught a cab home . I was buggered after running 10 K cliff young had run from Sydney I couldn't keep up
Those little ones are so cute! ( : The little girl playing Debbie was in a movie. It was called Fortress, She played a girl named Sarah. These children and their teacher were abducted by four men with creepy masks on, Father Christmas, a duck and a pussy cat.

With the exception of Anna Crawford, (Debbie) were the rest of the children deaf in real life? Does anyone out there know? That's strange, children usually love Joan.
+Miss Steele xxx Nope. Joan is a great character, and Maggie plays her awesomely. But if it wasn't for the other character's, Joan would have no substance of being a multifaceted character.
Fergo has lots of records in her collection; I can't imagine her going into a record shop and buying albums. Doesn't seem like the music lover type. Would love to see what albums she had. AC DC, Suzi Quatro.. What another artists would she have?

RIP Cliff Young he won $10K in a Syd to Melb Marathon and split his winning between the other runners and kept none of it for himself, a true gentleman. Nice to see him on the show.
Thanks! I was wondering who he was
Cliffy the potato farmer from Beech Forest, who still lived with his mum. He married a much younger woman, but the marriage didn’t last.
Yeah he won it aged 61 in 1983, so it was big news right around the time they made these episodes.
What a top bloke!
I run marathons and hope to be just as good 💪
@@colleenlamb5521 All the best! I am 60 and run marathons, 3rd place is my best and that was 3 years ago.
Meg getting hysterical about the anonymous hate letter to the governor. Ann Reynolds is far too sensible to be panicked.

Myra shouldn't bother with Judy, it isn't a friendship it's Myra babying Judy 24/7 wondering why she's throwing a tantrum all the time
Because Angel said Judy that myra said she was lesbian kept away from her
Bea wouldn't put up with Judy's tantrums
Seriously, Myra and Judy, and Dot and Rabbit can't be adults, sit down and have an adult conversation as to what's going on so they can get to the bottom of who caused the conflicts??

All that matters is that poor little granddaughter of yours.. (Judy then correcting her).. grandson. Whatever! 🤣

Fook, thought I was watching Prisoner
Not bloody Coronation Street😂

37:34 By coincidence, the name of a British comedy legend, the late Warren Mitchell, God bless him
Cynthia Leach calls Joan from Blackmoor! It seema Winter was caught after her helicopter escape.

" We call them dormitories" since when?
Was the women with Ann Reynolds that really shit Social Worker they had a while back?
nope it wasn't but i am sure it's a past character with a dodgy wig and glasses
Think they called them that back in season 1 and 2 haven't heard it since
Colleen Powell called it that to Kate Peterson
The term has definitely been used in the past. Meg might have even referred to them as such when she showed Karen and Lyn to their cells in episode 1.
a love the look on there faces wen the riot alarm goes. its priceless
Oh my god, Barbara is Des Clarke's mother from Neighbours
Yes Myra De Groot played Eileen Clarke in Neighbours,Sadly Myra passed away in 1988 aged 50.

The music at 7:22 sounds suspiciously like the theme from the TV show Kung-Fu with David Carradine, expect that it doesn't resolve at the end.
@ Rayman. Yes 'Doris is also 'Lisa Mullins' (Nicki Paull).
The freak’s dad’s mustache looks very fake
