INCOMPLETE LIST OF SOME OF THE ERRORS IN

HILARY KINGSLEY'S "Prisoner: Cell Block H - the inside story"

If you know of any more, let me know. If you don't have a copy of the book yourself, try the library.

Thanks to Barbara Kendall and Peter Schofield for spotting some of these mistakes.

Although Hilary Kingsley never manages to approach the dizzy heights of inaccuracy achieved by Terry Bourke (she does seem to have actually watched the programme), there are a few niggling errors...

Spelling of names

Although she is usually consistent throughout, HK's spelling of some of the character's names differs from the version in the credits.

Martha Eves rather than Eaves
Noelene Bourke rather than Noeline
Sharon Gilmore rather than Gilmour
Paul Reed rather than Reid
Lianne Bourke rather than Leanne
Rosalind Coulson rather than Rosyln
Suzi Driscoll rather than Susie

But there is no excuse for the reference to "Red Keen" (page 93)!

Most of the errors listed below are fairly trivial, though there are one or two spectacular clangers..
