@@TalkingPrisoner I'm a huge Prisoner fan and I really enjoy watching Talking Prisoner. I watch Prisoner on TH-cam before I go to bed. You wouldn't think all these years later Prisoner is still very popular. The acting Calabria is set at very high standard and all the cast and crew are Just amazing. Thank you Ken and Matt for doing these videos with the cast and crew of Prisoner. Hugs for Desiree and a big thank you to you all. Regards, Shawn Whitehouse Queensland Townsville
So glad to hear about a part 2. Gutted I'm unable to attend the event in August and not get a cuddle from Desiree lol....hope there will be more to come...she seems like an amazing person....so genuine...clearly very spiritual and loved her thoughts on life etc....
I knew Desiree for a short time in my teen years going through a phase on the streets. Desiree, a young girl herself and I believe doing hairdressing at the time, gave free haircuts to street kids. She had a big heart and a lot of inner light back then too.
Great interview. Desiree's story about her school uniform reminded me when I had a sweat shirt with the letters "sweat shirt" in small letters on it and my step dad pulled some letters off so it spelled "eat shit" I was only about 8 years old naturally the kids at school gave me a hard time over it.
@@TalkingPrisoner I did sadly and even at university too as I wasn't considered one of the "cool" people. Watching "Prisoner" at school in particular was an escape from the hell of school and unhappy homelife. My local tv station (tyne tees) messed about with the show but generally late night on a Thursday on my black and white portable was my escapism
@@TalkingPrisoner I did, the only season I get a bit frustrated with is the season before with some silly characters (Quenie Marshall and her gang with Nikki lennox was so far fetched, may and willie on the run, Nora; Jennifer hartly and her nana; the PMT stuff with that terrible character with the plants) I will try and revisit these episodes to see if I can get the love back 😍
Desiree is delightful and such a kind soul! When I read the reunion in August was in Richmond, I was so pleased to attend. But then I read it was Richmond, Melbourne not Richmond, Sydney! Matt and Ken, arrange a reunion next time in Sydney, and I’m sure you’ll get huge attendance.😊
Why am I just finding out she went to Greenwood High School ! I went there too. Once she mentioned she grew up in Bundoora, and the uniform I had to Google a couple of things and low and behold I found some links, she’s from Class of 76-82... If I had known earlier I would have approached her at the Greenwood High reunion back in November 2022. I’m much younger. I finished year 12 in 1994. I would love to have had a good ol yarn with her.
EastEnders and Coronation street have both run their course and have done to death every story line there is. Both are now miserable shows to watch with no humor anymore and should have been pulled years ago.
@@TalkingPrisoner No. I never watched Neighbors - just never really got into it. I used to like Home and Away but that was years ago. But I was a huge Sons and Daughters fan ... I would watch Corrie again if they brought back Bet Lynch / Julie Goodyear - but it seems unlikely.
What a lovely lady she is her smile is infectious, she was fab in Prisoner and The Delinquents .
I remember her and Trudi from the old Carlton Cheer Squad days :)
Lovely human being. Heart like a pot of gold. Great humility and gentleness. Hugs for all
Thanks for your kind words Shawn, I am going to show these comments to Desiree.

Thanks for your kind words. We have a number of events coming up so hopefully you can make one of them.
Desiree sounds like a lovely person and so bubbly….I am pleased she is proud of her East London roots. My Mum is a Londoner too. Thanks Ken and Matt
I just love her, so glad there is going to be a part 2!
Thanks for the kind words. Have you seen part 2 yet ?
She’s a lovely lady, friends with her on Facebook.
This was great. Can't wait for part two. Since everyone keeps mentioning Paula, surely there's talks to interview her?
Have you watched part 2 yet ?
@@TalkingPrisoner Yes I have! It was brilliant!
Such a beautiful person Desiree is! So humble and down to earth. Loved her in Moving Out back in the early 80s she was the funniest ever!

And the director is .... drum roll... Alister Smart
Thanks for saving me some research
Great interview and certainly no gaps in the conversation!
Thanks so much Stuart. Happy to hear you enjoyed.

Did you suffer any bullying at school ?

Great interview, such an amazing person
Thanks for your kind words Jack. Did you enjoy the last season of Prisoner ?
Great Interview Guys
Thanks so much Mark. Have you watched all the interviews so far ?
Fantastic again. I hope some of these stars can visit all of us English Prisoner fans sometime.
We do hope to have some events in the Uk in the near future. Please subscribe to our Facebook page for updates.
Dunstable massive in the house!
Well, that was fun!! More like a relaxed chit chat!
I did forget at times we were doing an interview. It was fun.
Will you guys be taping the Prisoner event in August?
We are going to try and record it for international viewers.
She is so sweet and amazing! Love you Desiree! #Delia
Desiree is one of the sweetest.
Totally lovely lady ! So much fun

What a sweetie she is ❤️ A breath of fresh air after Carol Drouyn 😁. Seriously she is gorgeous. Keep going lads and drink beer 🍺
Much love for Coral by me - Matt
Desiree is delightful and such a kind soul!

Thank you Peter, we will try at some stage 🙂

Do you still watch Neighbours ?
@@TalkingPrisoner No. I never watched Neighbors - just never really got into it. I used to like Home and Away but that was years ago. But I was a huge Sons and Daughters fan ... I would watch Corrie again if they brought back Bet Lynch / Julie Goodyear - but it seems unlikely.
Talks as much as Coral Drouyn
And the problem about that is? If you have stories and a platform. You can tell those stories.
At least she is not rude,narrow minded, and obnoxious like Coral Drouyn.
Desiree is the nicest person you could meet I have met her twice and the stories she tells as always so fascinating
@@lamontbradford4630 Agree totally. She is adorable.
A lot better.
