C'mon own up! Who used to bunk off school to watch Neighbours? Confused Big Grin Cool

At one time I think our household forgot what a British accent sounded like!! Big Grin

It was all:

PCBH
The Young Doctors
Sons & Daughters
Neighbours
Home & Away
A Country Practice
The Flying Doctors

Have I forgotten anything folks?? Smile

Prisoner Cell Block-H was with best Cheesy 321! Although I did enjoy Sons & Daughters as well as the early editions of Neighbours, The Young Doctors etc etc!!! Remember bunking off school to see Neighbours and stopping up all night just to try and catch PCBH!! (The things we had to do pre-video recorders!!).

I'll be 35 in 18 days time Cheesy! I too started work at the end of the 80's.

Don't remember Sunset Beach (other than the title) sounds American rather than Aussie but I might be totally wrong there.

HAPPY XMAS

- Pugwall (which used to be on nearly every school holidays
- Families (Brit/Aussie soap)

I used to love Neighbours and Home & away in the 80s. Smile
I remember we used to go to a friends house to watch it at dinner time (late back to school afterwards Big Grin).
I had been known to watch the repeat again at tea time.

I also remember The Henderson Kids & Pugwall too. Cool

Remember watching Families Jazz. Fairly rubbish story lines but starred one very good looking actor - Jude Law

Yeah I remember Families - it was awful! Also remember Pugwall - it had Meg Jackson/Morris out of PCBH at the mad Aunt Annabel!!

I remember watching Pugwall back in the early 90's during the summer holidays. Think it was on Channel 4 in the mornings before "Gamesmaster". Forgot that Troy Beckwith (Michael Martin from Neighbours" was in Pugwall too.

Indeed Troy Beckwith was in Pugwall. I wonder what happened to the guy who played Peter Unwin George Wall (aka Pugwall!)?? I can't even remember his name. Confused

Not so much a soap - and I think more VERY early 90's than late 80's, but does anyone remember 'Betty's Bunch'? Ok, it was set in NZ - but it did star Maggie Kirkpatrick (Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson) out of PCBH as Betty.

i remember having to wait until the ITV 10 o' clock news was over to watch PCBH and Families (which seemed to be later and later). I always thought it was a very odd series but the naffness kept me hooked. I must have been about 14/15 at the time and also loved Neighbours and H and A.

To all you PCBH fans out there. It's worth keeping an eye on Val Lehman (Bea Smith) website which is www.val-lehman.com as that contains news about the DVD's and other things.

Wish they'd bring it back on telly!

To all the PCBH Fans out there I've just noticed that The Official Prisoner Cell Block H website (OTI) and The Official Val Lehman Website have both recently been updated! Cool

I don't think there were any day time soaps when I was at school, all I seem to remember being on tv during the day were the schools programmes. Hardly worth bunking off school for .. Roll Eyes Big Grin
