Well hello everyone! Welcome to my world of Wentworth! I can’t believe I’ve got my own blog on the Official Prisoner website! Excitingness! Oh my days, I think I’ve reached some kind of nirvana in the world of Prisoner fandom! Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming! And evidently an incredibly bizarre dream at that! I’ll have to stop eating so much cheese!
All I can say is, Barry and Scott must be brave, brave men to offer free rein to a mad Scotswoman such as myself to spout forth about all things Prisoner on their lovely website! I commend their courage and salute their sanguinity! Now there’s a word to have you all reaching for your dictionaries! I know it did me and I wrote it! I just absolutely adore alliteration! Do you see what I did there?! Ho ho! Philip Larkin eat your heart out!
Which brings my rambling train of thought to its next station (on its way to The Whitsun Weddings! Say what you like about me, I know how to segue!)… how *do* you write a blog about a programme on which the cameras stopped rolling not far shy of a quarter of a century ago (my how time marches on, doesn’t it?! Scary biscuits!) and, to the chagrin of many a fan of the old show, isn’t even screened on television anywhere in the world?! Isn’t it insane?! I love it! Not the fact that it's not screened on television anywhere in the world, I hasten to add...the whole 21st Centuryness fusion of the now and the then of a blog about it!
Oh well, anything that keeps the memory and the love of Prisoner alive can’t be bad in my book and it’s my total joy and honour to be able to play even just a tiny part in that! It’s a wonderful life, if you don’t weaken!
And so, to give you all some idea of what I’m going to be all about on this here Prisoner blogging malarkey (I don’t know about you, but that sounds a bit rude to me! Matron!), that’s if you can possibly stand it, in which case you must be as cracked as I am, (you poor souls!), is to shout my adoration of everything in the Prisoner universe from the rooftops of this sceptred site, write it in giant letters (well, letters this size, depending on what screen resolution you’ve set your monitor to!) across the ether, as and when it comes into my mangled mind!
At this point in proceedings, I’d like to apologise in advance for any randomness which ensues in the coming weeks, months, years (all being well!), my almost unbearable cheesiness and overexcitability at times, awful innuendoes and crashingly corny asides, not to mention rampant abuse of the exclamation mark!!!! It’s a wonder to me that I haven’t worn that key out on my keyboard already!
So people all over the world, join hands and let’s start a love train to the finest show ever to grace that magic window in our living rooms… the characters, the sets, the storylines, all those fabulously talented individuals who put ever so much effort into creating the wonder of it all, every last man (and woman!) Jack (and Jill!) of them, from Mr Reg Watson himself to the floor sweeper, all 692 episodes of awesomeness that it is, which is why so many of us are sentenced to a lifetime’s stay within the wobbly walls of Wentworth! Thanks for the memories, Prisoner!
That will be all for now, dear voyager across the webwaves who has happened perchance upon these ramblings! You may go!
