Prisoner (1979)

I became disconcertingly mildly obsessed with this show when I was an insomniac adolescent about thirty odd years ago. It was on at about three in the morning on ITV here in the UK back in the days before cable and the internet so I got really in to it even though it was essentially just cheap, soapy trash. Part of me is embarrassed to confess to that and yet another part of me really wants to watch all a billion episodes back again immediately. ‘The Freak’ was an absolutely brilliant secretly vulnerable hate figure and Bea Smith was definitely not to be messed with. Those were the days. . .
