One of the rarest story arcs of Prisoner Cell Block H turns up on DVD.
Kath has been taking a look…
Prisoner Cell Block Hfirst aired in 1979.
It ran for seven years and racked up a grand total of 692 episodes.
Perhaps one of the more infamous of the story arcs was the Edna Pearson Story.
Shes been sentenced to eighteen months for allegedly poisoning her husband, Harry.
Naturally, she claims complete innocence.
The episodes follow the adventures of Edna in prison as she gets to know the other women.
Luckily, Harry is busy campaigning towards her appeal.
There are four episodes on each DVD, but no extras on either.
Perhaps this is due to many cast interviews and episode commentaries being included in the Complete Collection.
An interview or commentary from Vivean Gray would have been a nice addition.
The quality of the footage is good, considering the age of the original tapes.
Its a wonder anyone knew what was going on!
As a result, the DVDs are really more for the die-hard fans.
