Prisoner on ITV 1987

South West (TSW) was the next to start showing Prisoner, but shelved it after a few months for most of the rest of the year, as did Yorkshire, Channel and TVS/South.

Central's run begins in April. Prisoner soon became the first success of their new all-night schedules and with 3 episodes per week Central overtakes all other regions just before the end of the year. From this point until the end of its run it became the first region to show all the episodes.

The dates and times come from the TV listings in the Guardian, from the scans in the online archive . "nil" indicates that the date shown has been checked but Prisoner is not listed for that region. Thames also started its run in June, but at this stage the archive version of the Guardian has scans of the Manchester edition which has Granada as the main ITV listing and does not show regional variation for Thames
