I’m hooked! Keep laughing out loud at the awful acting. Nikki is a mentalist, why would Helen go for her?! Yvonne has just arrived and I love her already.

Fernticket · 08/08/2021 21:33

Yvonne was the best character in it along with the 2 Julie's. Once she left it wasn't nearly so good.

VienneseWhirligig · 08/08/2021 22:02

Love it! Now just need to have Footballers Wives back on.

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/08/2021 22:22

Oh yes @VienneseWhirligig. I would love to see fw again. Was fab !!!

FlorenceNightshade · 08/08/2021 22:27

Yvonnes death scene still haunts me. When he slams the door and she turns around and there’s just a wall….

Debra Stephenson is a really good actor, isn't she, in too of her impressions career. She didn't even go to posho drama school - she is an organic talent I think.

Poor Moira.

The first series is now on UKTV Play. I downloaded the app onto our TV last night. As a total juxtaposition, the fabulous BBC TV adaptation of Tess of the d'Urbervilles with Gemma Arterton and Eddie Redmayne is also there.

I remember a very young Debra on That's Life doing a Margaret Thatcher impersonation.
Blondeshavemorefun · 13/08/2021 18:27

I’m loving rewatching this daily

AngryWhompingWillow · 13/08/2021 22:28

@MawnyStannit

Never watched this originally! It's so good! I am on ep 5 right now.

It's reminds me of Prisoner Cell Block H. VERY good. Smile

She's amazing! SO talented, and yep, quite organic, and from a 'normal' background. She was on Opportunity Knocks I think (when she was a teen.) Good actress, good impressionist, and also very pretty. Smile

She was in Corrie for a couple of years too! Related to Mike Baldwin I think, but I can't remember how.

SpindleWhorl · 13/08/2021 22:41

She was Danny Baldwin's wife?

SpindleWhorl · 13/08/2021 22:42

The one who turned up in the tardis!

AngryWhompingWillow · 13/08/2021 22:57

Ah ha, yeah Bradley Walsh's wife - Frankie was it???

Butterchunks · 13/08/2021 23:01

If you like Bad Girls you should try Wentworth on Prime, set in an Australian women's prison, great characters including someone who is excellently evil.

Ohhh yeah, I have seen ALL of 'Wentworth.' It's absolutely brilliant. So underrated. Grin

I started watching it on channel 5, and it moved to 'five star' after 3 or 4 years. I think the new season starts soon!

Joan Ferguson is the one I am assuming you are talking about who is excellently evil? Grin

(Wentworth is a remake of Prisoner Cell Block H, but is way more violent. Shock Both so good though, as is Bad Girls.)

FlorenceNightshade · 14/08/2021 08:01

This is the last season of Wentworth. So sad as it’s goooood

SpindleWhorl · 14/08/2021 13:19

I remember watching the original Prisoner Cell Block H. It was on quite late at night, so I tended to watch it post-pub, getting intensely involved. My musician flatmate bought me the single of the theme tune for Xmas in an act of ironic vengeance (he didn't like it)! He used to bring me flowers ... 🎵🎶 Terrible dirge Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/08/2021 13:49

Wentworth is fab. But sad be last one

I do love a prison drama

FlorenceNightshade · 14/08/2021 15:49

@SpindleWhorl roses! He used to bring me roses

SpindleWhorl · 14/08/2021 16:09

[quote FlorenceNightshade]@SpindleWhorl roses! He used to bring me roses[/quote]
Oh the shame at forgetting the theme tune words!

On the outside the sun still shines ... (I think)

She had an affair with his son and it totally ruined both characters.

I know it’s awful but one of my favourite episodes is where Denny and Shell escape from prison and break into Bodybags home and tortured her and her husband!

FlorenceNightshade · 16/08/2021 23:04

@plodalong12 me too!!! When they are all dressed up it’s a total farce but hilarious!

Was genuinely sad when Mr Hollamby (can’t remember his name!) killed himself. It was a really sad storyline when he thought he was too old to be useful

plodalong12 · 17/08/2021 23:05

^^ his name was Bobby. I don’t remember the storyline you’re talking about but I’m sure it’ll come round again soon in the repeats

Btw I thought everyone might like to see this, though I haven’t watched it all myself yet
