Comments and Reviews


GimmeVinyl 25th Oct 2020		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..

Neil Forbes 22nd Jul 2015		Oh RC and Jordonsongs, have you been sucked in well and truly by this addiction to "Prisoner"! One thing at least, there'll be no need for search parties if anyone misses either of you, They'll know where to find you - ha-ha!



jordansongs 21st Jul 2015		I feel your pain RC. I used to watch this when it was shown in the UK in the late 80s. I noticed they have all the episodes on Youtube so I thought I'd watch the first episode just to see how bad it was. Then I watched another. I've now watched 120 episodes in four weeks. I want my life back.

Record Collector 24th Jun 2015		Altogether everyone in a very deep voice GOGGO!!!!



Neil Forbes 24th Jun 2015		Doesn't excuse the powers-that-be in the YOOK for retitling what should be a one-word title "Prisoner", as distinct from "The Prisoner". And Noel Dyson coming in to the series as Jock Stewart, all I can say is...."G-O-G-G-O.... it's a wee ripper!" For Brit fans, Dyson appeared on one of a series of ads for Yellow Pages business phone directories, playing the part of a fellow trying to restore a small Australian sports car, called the "Goggomobile" a two-seater with manual gears that run in a north-south(up & down) direction, as opposed to the usual east-west(cross) direction of normal manual transmissions. Also, it had no doors, getting in or out was by just putting the left leg over the ridge, followed by the right and sliding into the seat(right-hand-drive, of course) The passenger puts his/her right leg over followed by the left and slides into the seat. These cars are a very rare sight on our Aussie roads these days.



Record Collector 24th Jun 2015		For you people following prisoner at the moment as it's still having a rerun on 111 greats here in Australia I'm up to episode 114 where Jock Stewart makes his apparence as I'm watching it on DVD



23skidoo 23rd Jun 2015		The Patrick McGoohan series The Prisoner is to blame for the show getting retitled. Two more different series I cannot imagine...
