Prisoner : Cellblock H (Edition 174 DVD) !!!

[arioch]

Les Australiens ont une serie TV qui se nomment PRISONER : CELLBLOCK H. Elle s'est étirée sur 8 ans pour seulement 692 episodes. Du coup, les mecs, ils ont décidé d'ouvrir une valise et balancer l'intégralité des épisodes à l'intérieur ce qui totalise 174 DVD pour 1499$ australien. L'edition est limitée et il est possible d'acheter les disques a l'unité. Reste que 174 DVD dans une meme boite, je pense que c'est un record ! Est ce que l'on va nous sortir une cabine telephonique avec 400 DVD pour le DOCTOR WHO ou DARK SHADOWS ? Mystère !

En tout cas, le type qui achete PRISONER : CELLBLOCK H, apres avoir tout vu, il faudra penser a reserver un petit peu de temps supplémentaires pour les supplements, justement. Commentaires audio, etc...

Beginnings

The viewers’ introduction to the world of Wentworth Detention Centre involved the arrival of two new prisoners, Karen Travers (Peta Toppano) and Lynn Warner (Kerry Armstrong). Travers had been charged for the murder of her husband, while Warner protested her innocence after being convicted of the abduction and attempted murder of a child. Both women are sent to the prison’s maximum security wing (H Block) where they are horrified by their new surroundings. Karen finds herself face to face with a former lover, prison doctor Greg Miller (Barry Quin), and is sexually harassed by her violent, bullying lesbian cellmate Franky Doyle (Carol Burns). Lynn finds herself ostracised by the other prisoners because of her crime (prison populations are known for their intolerance torwards criminals who commit offences against children) and is terrorised by the prison’s “top dog”, the self-styled “Queen” Bea Smith (Val Lehman), who “accidentally” burns her hand in the laundry steam press in one of the series’ most iconic scenes.

The other prisoners are rather less volatile, including the elderly, garden-loving “Mum” Brooks (Mary Ward), a bickering comic relief double act with teddy-clutching misfit Doreen Anderson (Colette Mann) and old lag Lizzie Birdsworth (Sheila Florance), and seductive prostitute Marilyn Mason (Margaret Laurence), who entices electrician Eddie Cook (Richard Moir) into amorous encounters around the prison. The prison officers, or “screws” as they are called by the women, comprised the stern Governor Erica Davidson (Patsy King), flanked by the diametrically opposed sadistic Deputy Governor Vera Bennett (Fiona Spence), dubbed “Vinegar Tits” by the inmates, and compassionate senior officer Meg Jackson (Elspeth Ballantyne).

The early episodes are a potent cocktail of violence and mayhem - involving Lynn Warner’s punishment burning, another prisoner hanging herself in her cell, unrequited Sapphic passion, a fatal stabbing and a Psycho-inspired flashback sequence in which Karen Travers stabs her abusive husband to death in the shower. The first major story arc-defining event in the series is the turf war for top dog status between Bea Smith and Franky Doyle, culminating in a prison riot in which Meg Jackson is held hostage, and her husband, prison psychiatrist Bill Jackson (Don Barker), is stabbed to death by inmate Chrissie Latham (Amanda Muggleton).

Hey ben, ça a l'air plutôt sympa dans le genre !

Mais bon, je ne pense pas que j'acheterais le coffret pour autant !
