 Prisoner (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prisoner was one of the first Australian soap operas exported to the UK where it was screened as Prisoner: Cell Block H (to avoid confusion with the other well-known British series, The Prisoner) on ITV during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Prisoner premiered in Australia on 27 February 1979 and instantly struck a chord with the audience, prompting the producers to extend the series from a sixteen-part serial to an ongoing concern.
Prisoner remained a popular programme, however the 1984 and 1985 seasons are characterised by a number of jarring cast reshuffles, preventing the series from re-establishing the continuity and focus it had enjoyed in earlier years.

Another TV series based on an idea by the late Gene (Star Trek) Roddenberry, though unlike Earth: Final Conflict, this was inspired more by vague notes rather than a detailed outline (perhaps explaining how it could have superficial similarities to the TV series "Farscape", a U.S.-Australian co-production from around the same time).

Fourth TV movie folowing the successful TV series, North of 60, is a pretty good suspense-drama, blending the mystery aspects with drama and social issues (like racism), nicely anchored by series' regulars Keeper and House.

 Flesh supplies - TV & Radio - Entertainment - smh.com.au
Nudity appeared on Australian TV as early as the late '60s in The Mavis Bramston Show, but it is Number 96 (1972-77), Alvin Purple (1976) and The Box (1974-77) that are remembered almost exclusively for it.
(Contrary to popular belief, Abigail never appeared fully nude in the TV series of Number 96; it happened in the movie version.) In Chances, which famously featured Jeremy Sims's bum, there was guaranteed nudity in every episode, although the show never really became anything more than a late-night curio.
SBS also shows a fearlessness when it comes to male nudity, which has in the past been largely represented by a coy flash of the behind.

A measure of the Wiggles' growing fame in America is the fact that Captain Feathersword was mentioned in an episode of the acclaimed political TV drama The West Wing.
Crucially for the Wiggles, both the VCR and the CD player were ideally suited to repeat playing, and like TV before them, both technologies were almost immediately harnessed to entertain the preschool children of the late Baby Boomer generation (most of whom had grown up with TV as a constant childhood companion and babysitter).
Wiggles songs are often about simple topics familiar to very young children: sleeping ("Rock A Bye Bear", "Wake Up Jeff"), eating ("Fruit Salad"), animals ("Do the Monkey", "Rockabye Your Bear", "Ponies") or the cast of characters created for their home videos and TV shows.

The increasing problem was that the BBC screened Neighbours in the early afternoons, causing havoc with school attendances as teenagers flocked to TV sets to keep up with the series.
Neighbours continued through the 1990s with varying degrees of popularity as a new generation of characters were introduced though veteran performers such as Anne Haddy, Anne Charleston, Ian Smith and Tom Oliver would provide some link to the shows earlier era.
The plan was for Neighbours to provide a strong drama-based lead-in to the evening news, emulating a similar strategy employed by Nine in the late 1970s with The Young Doctors.
