45 years ago, in 1979, PRISONER made its debut – and Australian television screens changed forever. Airing for eight years and an incredible 692 episodes, the series quickly became one of the most watched Australian shows ever, at home and around the world – where it was known as CELL BLOCK H.

The precursor to the hugely popular series Wentworth, join the inmates of Wentworth Detention Centre for all eight seasons of the groundbreaking Australian soap series.

Follow the trials and tribulations of popular characters including inmates “Queen” Bea Smith (Val Lehman), Doreen Anderson (Colette Mann), Lizzie Birdsworth (Sheila Florance), Judy Bryant (Betty Bobbitt), prison officers Colleen Powell (Judith McGrath), Meg Morris (Elspeth Ballantyne), Joan Ferguson (Maggie Kirkpatrick), and Governor Ann Reynolds (Gerda Nicolson).

This mammoth 175-disc set features every episode of the Logie-winning drama, housed in a deluxe rigid hardbox, measuring 180mm x 413mm x 342mm with varnished jail cell bars – and weighing in at 7.0KG.

A custom sound chip sounds off with the iconic cell doors slamming, every time the box is opened, bringing you straight into the world of Prisoner. A 48-page booklet is included, featuring dozens of full-colour photos of the cast.
