Prisoner: Cell Block H

Prisoner: Cell Block H - Anybody remember this one?

I remember staying up late & watching this with my granny. Well, not actually with her because she thought I was asleep. I had my own room at their house, but I loved sleeping in the big bed with her.

If I'm not mistaken Prisoner came on right after Benny Hill {who, by the way, I couldn't stand}. The only character I really recall is Bea Smith. That was one big, oily, scary looking biznatch. I also remember the inmates always fighting & calling each other bloody cows. At the time, I didn't quite understand what they meant. When I was a kid I took everything literally, so I'm envisioning a bloody cow & couldn't figure out the correlation between the cow & the prisoner. 

Yeah, I know....Mo, take yo ass to bed.

    I looked up Benny Hill on Wikipedia... did you guys know he was a millionaire when he passed in 1992? I mean like upward of 10 million. He lived very frugal and never owned a car or a house of his own... he preferred to rent. But was stinking rich. Just Interesting.

    I never saw that one. But I loved Benny Hill. I guess that was the youth in my liking slightly off color.
