Doreen is credited but does not appear in this episode. | Colleen Powell unlocks the cells in the morning instead of Jim, but she's a new officer and doesn't know much about the reasons why Jim isn't there. Jim goes to meet Blossom and he agrees to go to a motel room with her, a room which she has booked. Tom meets Peter outside Wentworth (purely so he can offer an opinion on Vera as she passes - "a raving lez"): he tells Peter he has decided to end the affair with his student. Vera gloats to the new officer that Jim was suspending for having it off with one of the prisoners. After having sex with Blossom ![]() Erica tells Peter that "all staff files are held at the Department". Why? Must make administration a bit difficult, surely? If Meg is so mumsy, how could she resist reaching over and tucking in Greg's collar in this scene

Another bad day in the credits department? The credits attached to this episode (see left column below) on all UK broadcasts I know of and in the recent Australian Foxtel re-run (thanks to Robert for checking) are incorrect. They appear to be the same as for (46) apart from the first screen which has been updated to reflect Jean Vernon's re-appearance in (47). Kathleen and Doreen are not in this episode, and several characters are missed out.
Thanks to Steve West of "Blockade - The Prisoner Magazine" (PO Box 63, Pinner, Middlesex) who sent a typed sheet of the credits prepared by Grundy's publicity department (see right hand column below - character surnames omitted). As can be seen, even this doesn't correspond to the correct broadcast credits: Det. Insp. Grace isn't in either set, for instance.
