Wasn't sure which was the best forum to put this on - TV or Cult, but decided on this one in the end. No doubt if I've got it wrong someone will let me know! 
I was an avid fan of PCBH back in the 90s when it used to be shown late at night on ITV. I always used to stay up late to watch it, no matter how late it was on, even if it meant I was a bit bleary-eyed at work the next day!
Have recently bought the first three batches of episodes (I don't think they are in series) on DVD and I have forgotten how much I enjoyed them. I had seen a few of the early episodes before, but most of them I haven't, so it's all new to me at the moment.
I can never remember what part of the 692 episodes I actually saw...I think it must have been about midway through as a lot of the characters in it now were in it when I was watching like Bea (although she did leave), Doreen and Lizzie and I also remember Vera leaving and being replaced by "The Freak" Ferguson.
Please don't tell me I'm the only one who still likes this!

Loved old Lizzie, Queen Bea, Vinegar t.... Vera, Dopey Doreen and co. There was another warden who left and went to Neighbours or H&A.
My daughter`s 24 today so my memory is slightly faded.
Yes, i'm a big fan
I bought the entire series on DVD from OZ & try to watch a few episodes a week.
I'm currently around episode 265, with the infamous Dr Peterson. Still gripping stuff nearly 30 years after it was made
It always used to be on just as we got back from the pub, perfect timing.
I have the first of the box sets that they released and intend to watch it soon. Then I will buy the others.
Good times. The box set is one of my best buys and my pride and joy!
I was The Yorkshire Pud.
Lol, I 'acquired' the lot absolutely ages ago, and they're still sitting there on one of my spare hard drives!
It's an amazing show and utterly enjoyable! My guilty pleasure!
Need to get them all on DVD, but the last price I seen for them was £1,300 which is just a little bit out of my price range!! :-(
The Q and A session on stage was good. I didn't know Maggie was going to quit the show in 1986 anyway, her thoughts on the final episode were interesting. I also didn't know Margot Knight used to write on Neighbours in the 1990's.
Enuf Said
Loved the early days of the Freak when she was at her most sadistic....Black gloves to do body searches, beating Chrissie to a pulp. The list is endless
Some of my favourite moments of Prisoner:
Have every episode and watch them regularly.
Some of the best episodes for me were when Nola McKenzie was in Wentworth and she tried to make Bea go insane - such a classic finish to that when Bea finally realised what was going on and got hold of a zipgun to finish Nola off.
Even better was Lizzy just before it happened...
"Don't worry, Bea's going to take care of everything."
This was after months and months of Bea being completely ground into nothing - and it just reinstated her position with one simple line - amazing.
bea, lou kelly, lizzie, vera and the freak are my all time favs.
my all time late lineup on itv
PCBH, marriage with children, sledge hammer and the v.:D
I have that box set. It took me saving. And saving. And saving some more!
I'm not sure if the collectors box set is still made.
But the British releases are being sold for cheap right now. Just £11.93 from Amazon:
