Did you watch Prisoner in the Grampian ITV days?

This and the other ITV regional threads are here so you can take a trip back down memory lane and let us know how you discovered Prisoner, how your local ITV company showed it (some were better than others in how they treated the show) and any other memories you associate from the time - all are welcome on this thread.

I discovered Prisoner on here, back in the '80s. At first I wouldn't watch it, due to being told that it was rubbish. I happend to catch an episode and was hooked from then on in.

Surely I'm not the lone voice from the highlands?

Up in the Grampian region we would often get Prisoner three times a week! I used to get home as fast as I could after working late to make sure that I didn't miss an episode. There is not many programs I can say that I have done that for.

I watched from episode 1 on ITV, they used to take it off every time football was running late... very annoying, I also remember they cut out Eve Wilder's death scene! It was only when I watched on channel 5 some years later I noticed this...

They do say that admitting it is the hardest part!
