Sources

The section below describing the pattern of broadcasts and deviations from the pattern is taken from information deleted from the wikipedia entry on Prisoner. As it derives from different sources (mainly TV listings in The Times with some cross checking in regional newspapers) it can be used for cross checking and as a starting point for further research.

Initially Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays at extremely varying timeslots. Then Saturday episode dropped temporarily in 1988. One episode was not shown on a Sunday and was postponed to the following night due to an essential replacement programme (Exact date not yet confirmed but was same as Granada). Central's listings eventually were corrected as both Monday 11/04/88 and Sat 16/04/88 both inform Judy and Lizzie plan to destroy Kay's bookmaking activities for good - episode 145 which was screened on 16/04/88). The Saturday episode later changed to Friday. Final Saturday episode 14 April 1990, first Friday episode 20 April 1990. Latest Saturday episode started at 02:45, earliest 22:15. Mon-Fri ep's shown the first week of January 1989/90/91 to make up for loss of episodes the proceeding Xmas periods. Central's nightly Prisoner airings in January 1991 were interrupted in the middle of the 23:55 Wednesday 16 January episode 561 for news of the Gulf War. Five other slots were reused for Gulf War programming. Various Fridays dropped in 1991 for snooker highlights Rugby World Cup highlights, although on some occasions, where scheduling permitted, Central screened the Friday episode on Saturday.
