Wentworth

[Perkino]

New prison drama started last night on channel 5, did anyone catch it? What were your thoughts?

 

[BensGrandad]

Isnt that the revamped Cell Block H

 

[Acker79]

Did it have the old theme tune?

 

[Perkino]

Isnt that the revamped Cell Block H

I think so, I remember prisoner cell block H as a very young child but only scarcely. Ladies prison so it could be the same thing

 

[Acker79]

Yes, it is. It's a re-imagining of sorts, some of the same character names are being used, but it's not a continuation of the Cell Block H.

It's on Channel five, so I'll assume it was terrible.

 

[Perkino]

I'll have a watch and let you all know

 

[Phat Baz 68]

If it was anywhere near as good as PCBH then its worth a watch !!

 

[BensGrandad]

Is there any way of watching channel 5 after the event like i player or similar.

Prison Break was incredibly good, I miss it terribly.

Then you assume wrong. It was a bloody good take on the original PCBH, same characters, but bought up to date. Some of the characters are slightly different, Vinegar Tits for example, but it doesn't take much away from the show. already got a second series planned and being well received over here.

I was a big fan of PCBH, so was interesed in watching Wentworth. I really enjoyed it and will make a point of viewing it every week. The character names are the same although not quite the ol boilers they used to have. I never thought the day would come when I fancied Queen Bea Smith.

Yes, Demand 5.

Useless, I didn't see Ernie Els once

 

[Perkino]

Certainly worth a watch, not got the clever plot of prison break but a huge amount of action and a decent story looks like it will unveil

 

[gjh1971]

Enjoyed the first episode, confusing at the start where character names from the original were used but given to characters with different characteristics - Lizzie was a drunken pensioner in the original for example. Works well as a stand alone so you dont need to have watched the originalto enjoy the new series

I won't be watching again otherwise I might Boo Weekley!

Didn't notice Joan "The Freak" Ferguson wonder if she will be added later or was I not paying attention.
