    FTA-TV Wentworth

    That's not "developing" the characters. That's ripping them off. If the show had been a prequel, and was set in the 70s it may have credibility. And the new Doreen is a gin. Where's the "old trait" in that? It just seems so wrong to me that they can pervert those old characters in such a way and...

    FTA-TV Wentworth

    I'm going to give Wentworth a look, but I will say this. I am absolutely disgusted with what the producers have done. I am disgusted that they have done nothing but exploit the original Prisoner series, in the worst possible way to create an entirely new series, that simply has nothing to do...

    The siege scenes come with their usual hilarity. And now we see the end of Myra Desmond, who I think really is underrated to some degree. She was a powerhouse "top dog", but I guess because of Bea Smith, she will never enjoy the same status as a legendary character. The whole siege situation...

    FTA-TV Survivor: Caramoan Fans vs Favourites

    How about the tanty thrown by Brandon Hantz? Amazing stuff. :eek: Probst's reaction was quite amusing, massaging Brandon's shoulders and trying to calm him down.

    He'll be the new owner of the Cornelia Marie. How intriguing. If I recall, her owner was actually Rick from the first series of DC, who was in partnership with Phil. I wonder if this means that Josh will take over as captain. Or maybe he isn't yet ready?

    And so now the permanently vision-impaired Joyce Barry is working with her arm in a sling! I still can't work out exactly why she exists in Prisoner. Is she supposed to be funny, or is it just hopelessly incompetent production/scriptwriting? I'm still loving the 1980s values depicted in the...

    I hated Maurie in The Flying Doctors, but as a dodgy, queer-hating screw?! Oh, I think I'm gonna love this! Especially as he's made his intentions with Joan Ferguson very clear! No, damn, I missed him.

    Did we all see Joyce Barry recently? She finally showed a bit of biffo in physically restraining that tallish blonde prisoner (name?), and giving her a warning too. And just when we thought vision-impaired Joyce was on a roll, she ends up being overpowered from a lying down position and falling...

    Prisoner has been a bit silly lately with the same old people involved in a few too many dramas to be anything close to believable. But The Freak is still massively entertaining. I'm not sorry to see the back of young Shane though. He was a bit of a pain. I curse the return of the obnoxious...

    Yes, a damn shame. We have to put up with that pathetic character for a bit longer yet. Bryan Marshall, playing the dodgy shrink, has done a lot of voice over work over the years. I'm enjoying the Cold War intrigue. Back in the good old days. It's fascinating to hear the views of those who...

    It definitely would have sucked for folks in the east, but it was ideal for me in Perth because I could watch it at 7.30pm on weeknights when there was often nothing else on TV. But anyway, getting back to the show; I'm still certainly enjoying things. It's great to see the return of Margo...

    I Actually, I'm quite enjoying it of late. We're getting more of The Freak, who seems to be getting in more and more over her head. Poor Major. :( I can't believe that hot lawyer chick seduced Wally. There's some reasonably interesting new female characters including a young Jane Turner...

    Actually, I find Driscoll boring anyway. The only link now is Wally, who's having it off with Ann Reynolds but he's just becoming more and more irritating now that he's in a leadership position. He should go back to the country.

    As true as that is, they could always give us more storylines from outside the prison. I find it interesting to see what happens to the prisoners after they leave Wentworth. But the producers seemed to either want them in the prison itself or to get rid of them.

    Thanks Bomber32. That's a pain in the rear, although I often watch it the next day anyway. The end of Bea is a massive blow to the show. Prisoner is now badly in need of some new likeable characters we can barrack for. Sonia Stevens and the crazy new screw killer chick aren't cutting the...

    Oh wow! And so Bea is off to Barnhurst! Could you imagine that place right now? Mari Winter, Margo Gaffney, Chrissy Latham and now Bea shows up! And don't forget who's in charge there! Vera Bennett. :D If only they'd done a spin-off series. It would be a lot more entertaining than Prisoner.

    I've been watching Prisoner ever since it started screening on Foxtel and I think that in the last week or two, it's the first time I think the show's been in a bit of a lull.
