There are listings transcribed at the TV Room for Mon 03/09/90.
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 Mondays and Tuesdays. Later Sundays and Mondays from January 1989. Then Sundays and Tuesdays from October 1990. After 7 April 1991 Sunday episode moves to Thursday starting from 11 April. (Then Monday episode switched to Thursday) to fit into the same slots that Anglia and Thames were using to enable the three franchises to be ready at the right time for Thames' night-time service. Then Tuesdays and Thursdays. Very occasionally HTV Wales airtimes were one hour behind HTV West to accommodate extra locally made programming for Wales as they were legally obliged to provide. From January 1993 a Wednesday episode was introduced and lasted until March 1993. Several Wednesdays were unavailable for the show as boxing and football needed to be screened instead. By March Wednesdays had reverted to slots used for non-continuous series. Series then increased to three a week using Sundays from March 1994. Sunday episode discontinued at the end of 1994. Thursday episode then axed during 1995. Series then increased to two a week with the return of the Sunday episode on 10/09/95. During September and October a Wednesday night is used when the Tuesday slot was unavailable. From 20 November HTV Wales shows the Tuesday episode on Monday nights due to Welsh rugby highlights being accommodated in the Tuesday slot. HTV West retains the series on Tuesdays. Then Thursday episode returns on 15/02/96. Some Tuesday slots filled with regional sport instead. Tuesday episode replaced with US series Max Monroe: Loose Cannon. Thursday episode replaced with US series Hunter
