Just thought some of you Aussies might be interested to know......

Your Prisoner Cell Block H was a cult hit in the UK a few years back......God only knows why?? it was probably the most depressing television show ever commissioned!!

It made the UK's gritty social realism TV dramas look like 'Cheers'.

I would be grateful if you could tell me why it was such a success in Oz and the UK? Oh and why do Aussies do 'depressing stuff' so well?

Check out Alf's scowl......

Remember this lot? Jesus! I'd thought I'd banished this show from my mind then I found it while looking for Prisoner pics, thanks guys, The Sullivans.......I'd rather watch paint dry..
