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 Tuesdays (Wednesdays 00:30) and Thursdays 23:35, then changed to Sundays and Mondays from September 1988. At the start of 1989 to make up for the loss of the show while Network programmes were shown over Xmas the show was screened daily Monday to Friday for the first week of January. The Monday episode was switched to Tuesday from September 1990 after the screeneing of episode 259 on Sunday 2 September. Then the Sunday episode switched to Thursday from January 1991 to fit into the same slots that HTV and Thames were using to enable the three to be ready at the right time for Thames' night-time service. The first two Thursday slots in 1991 along with Tuesday 22 January had replacemnet programming for the Gulf War Continues at 23:40 on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the new ITV franchise era from January 1993. Then odd episode screened on Monday in November 1993 when network programming filled the Tuesday and Thursday slots. Then weekly most available Tuesdays around 23:40 from 4 January 1994 until July 1995 when Thursday episode reinstated from 6 July. Thursday episode then axed after episode 668 on 16 November and series plays out on Tuesdays only until the end in 1996. US series Wiseguy replaced the programme.
