For a summary of the whole series, see Robert Lindsay's overview.


Prisoner is no longer on TV in the UK. The last episode was broadcast on Channel 5 in February 2001. Some ITV regions did not show the whole series

Ulster have not shown Prisoner since Monday 15/12/97 (562).

Carlton "suspended the series indefinitely" after (598) on 20/08/98.

Meridian's ended with (586) which was the last to be shown on 12/07/99.

South Africa's SABC1 stopped with (156) on Monday 2nd October 2000. Thanks to Devon for forwarding the reply he got "SABC1 has decided not to licence any further seasons of the series". The series is only likely to continue in South Africa if SABC2 take it up, which doesn't sound very likely either.

The list above is compiled from various sources. Thanks to

  • "Vera Bennett" for pointing out that it's possible to find listings for the original Melbourne broadcast run using google's newspaper archive search for the TV listings in the Melbourne newspaper "The Age". VB also worked out the dates above from 412 to the end. I used the same source to look up the earlier broadcasts and this page sumarises the listings in "The Age" for 1979 and early 1980. The google archive has gaps, however, so additional thanks to
  • Steve West for sending me the results of his research into the original Melbourne broadcast dates from TV listings magazines, mainly TV Scene for the Melbourne broadcasts. I have used Steve's dates for the following episodes:- 321-326, 449-452, 454, 456, 472-477, 487-496, 504-505, 506-508, 513-514, 534-535, 542-547, 583-586, 601-602, 627-640, 652-653, 666-676, 688.
  • pcoveruk for spotting the listing in The Age for the first episode of 1986.
  • Peter Rayner for the dates for 289-290.
  • Talking TelevisionAU has been tracking the TV Times Melbourne from 30 years go, and has allowed confirmation of dates for 43-44, 56-57, 58-59 and 60-61 so far.

    If you have any more information, particularly if you can correct any errors (or have a date for episode 686!) , please contact .
