I've also been found guilty of watching this programme.. as it was shown on the UHF channel 20 WXON Detroit. The title then was Prisoner: Cell Block H in the US. It's been decades since I've seen it. The character names I do remember.. but little else. I do remember an old geezer TV repair man coming in to fix the telly, and remarked it was missing a valve.. and one of the gals made an escape, and "borrowed" some bloke's EH Holden ute that lived nearby..
I used to watch this late night on CBC.. CBET Windsor Channel 9 many years ago. I thought it was a pretty good program. I've read that it was comparable to a UK program called The Professionals.. as the two shows had the same producer.
There’s a hold up in the Bronx, Brooklyn’s broken out in fights… There’s a traffic jam in Harlem that’s backed up to Jackson Heights… There’s a scout troop short a child, Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild… Car 54, where are you?
