I originally saw Prisoner on TSW and then a year or so later on HTV.
I loved the channel 5 re -runs of the series mainly because of Bill Buckley's comments at the end of the show. I seem to remember him liking some of Nola's nasty remarks to Lizzie! Bill also read out a couple of my emails at the end of a couple of episodes ( I can't remember which one, although I have on VHS somewhere). When they changed the viewing time from late night to the early hours of the morning I started to video the show. Prisoner should have just been shown straight after the 10 o'clock news in my opinion. That's what TSW did when it first started and then they messed around with the time slot like many other regional channels. I had a friend who originally lived in the Central TV region who I would tell not to give away future plot lines. She once let slip what happened to Bea Smith (which I did not believe until I saw the episode for myself nearly 2 years later).
