Review of Prisoner

Prisoner (1979–1986)
8/10
Great Retro Show- Better than modern version
16 June 2022
Watching this great show reminds me of my early childhood . Recently did a covid Binge of the show and the storyline's are great . Well written show, but a lot of legal details are incorrect (hearsay rules / judicial procedure in court / investigations) I cannot believe how dumb the screws are within the story line . They are soooo neivr . Look at the Simpson Murder - clearly self defence , there was a 22 rifle in the dead man's hands etc .

As 25 year plus cop / detective , I laugh at the investigative practices / procedures them , but it is Victorian police .

The acting - Val Lehman is a brilliant actress. Jim Fletcher is great as dep Governor .

BUT - There are some shocking actresses in the show - Collette Mann (Doreen). Is a terrible actress.

Overall - a lot better than the modern, rehashed remade , rubbish..
