Anyone going to try the new Cell Block H tomorrow?

[Lighthousekeeping]

Wentworth on Channel 5? I've just finished Orange is the New Black so I'm quite into women's prison dramas

It's all tits up! Mrs J is guvner, vinegar tits is nice and Erica is a busy body. Wtf??

Yes, it is odd to see Vera being nice.

The governor used to just sit in an office.

I think I prefer the original.

Erica was the governor wasn't she? This is very odd.

Stick with it, lots of the original character's traits are explained over the series!

Ok, I'll trust you.

Hmm.

I loved that they were such hard faced women in the original, I hope the new version isn't all super glad.

The old theme song!

I watched the first ep of cell block H just now and it's pretty vicious. But 70s grit is easier to watch then modern grit.

Yay, the song!

I'm a couple of minutes behind - is it really true BOF?

Im very confused Im not loving it if im honest

Oh my goodness! The song! It has given me goosebumps!

It's true!

I think this is pretty good so far actually, but I think you have to view it as a stand-alone drama rather that looking for it to hit our nostalgia button.

Ok, I've caught up during the ad break. Who is the singer? Is it present-day Bea?

Yes, I almost wonder why they have used the same names.

Ok, obviously I am wrong about the singer.

I am liking this but I need to try and forget about the old characters .

I am annoying myself .

I feel exactly the same, travelling.

I need to stop thinking back to who is who.

Lizzie Birdsworth has changed a lot too.

Oh bollocks. Don't look it up on Wikipedia whatever you do. The episode guides are very detailed. Sod it.

Lizzie Birdsworth has a great plastic surgeon :)

Oh, you all have god memories! I can't remember the original. Just that my gay friends loved it. It's no Orange but I'm enjoying it.

What is this orange of which you speak?

no no no, i dont like it :(

Watching it too.

Not bad so far......

Ooooh ! That was good and not in a so shite its good way either which is weird .

It was ok but you really do have to let go of the past, which is a bit daft really because they're selling it on its history. It's a bit violent for me, I'm more of an Inspector morse type of girl. Will watch next week though.
