But it was about the only thing on TV at that time of night so you were kind of stuck with it (was at uni at the time and the only one with a colour TV so it ws on constantly).
Apparently, we're related to Bea... Thrilled my gay brother to bits... and I loved the Lizze quote ' bugger me backwards'.. aww... is tonight remembering popped mums..? and potential nearly popped friends...?
While I agree there was some terrible acting there was also some amazing stuff;kylie foster as Angela Adams, maggie fence as bev baker, carol burns as frankie Doyle and the bloke who plays alf Stewart in home and away as a bomber. And yes there was a west end show-the version I saw had maggie Kirkpatrick reprising the freak and lily savage.
Youay have guessed I slightly loved this show :)
I use to watched that late at night and was pretty hooked on it. Until recently I discovered a Japanese movie series called 'Female Convict Scorpion Jailhouse made in 1972 which had the similar premise with female prisoners. It's quite obivous where Australian TV network got their ideas from.
