The Prisoner Roadblock And How I Shall Now Cross It

My weeknight viewing of Prisoner Cell Block H episodes hit a roadblock on Friday.

After watching what I thought would be the first of two episodes, I went downstairs to get myself some water. Upon returning, The Likely Lads was on my screen. I initially thought I must have brushed against the remote control or something so I picked it up to return to 5Select.

Well - it was ON 5Select.

The channel had been advertising the option to stream episodes of the Australian series, so I opened the app to see whether it was possible to catch the episode following the one I had watched.

I couldn't.

I had seemingly gone as far as Channel 5 could allow. 

The channel halted its run at episode 505, which is the final instalment of the sixth season. I make that one hundred and eighty-seven episodes short of the goal.

So - Channel 5 (and its offspring channels) can no longer be my go-to for this Prisoner Cell Block H marathon I have been running for months.

I've found a channel on YouTube which seems to have the entire series of Prisoner, so that'll be what I'll use to reach the end. 

I am already six episodes in after catching a few over the weekend. 

Prisoner Cell Block H - Episode 509

It has been a blessing to find this YouTube channel. It will allow me to go at my own pace rather than having to stick to the two episodes per weeknight routine I had been on.
