It's taken a while but here we finally get what most fans and critics agree was the peak of Prisoner: Cell Block h the great fire of eps 326/327 where Bea and the Freak finally come to blows. The boxed set isn't just about the fire however as we get to see new prisoner Nola McKenzie one of the best evil characters in the show, the set also gets a new look with a figure 8 layout that lasted until the end of the show and Joan takes on 5 prisoners at time. We say goodbye to quite a few people most notably Chrissie who just disappears to Barnhurst and Paddy at the hands of Nola. Hopefully fremantle will continue with the speedy releases as it looks like they will release this vol 11+12 in the space of a month Feb/Mar 2012, lets hope they get 1 out every month in 2012.

Volume 11 of Prisoner: Cell Block H features the last six episodes of the 1982 season and the first 26 from 1983. First shown in the UK from June to August 1989, this boxset sees the conclusion to the major storyline being built up in the previous boxset - Joan vs Bea. Officer Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson (Maggie Kirkpatrick) has been determined to topple top dog Bea Smith (Val Lehman) ever since Joan's arrival. Bea on the other hand is doing all she can to get paroled. Things come to a head when the two ladies are isolated in a cell together during a fire rampaging through Wentworth. What happens next?
Governor Erica Davidson (Patsy King) is forced to handle the evacuation of the surviving women to the nearby Woodridge Prison. there are lots of scenes in Judy's (Betty Bobbitt) Halfway House in this set. Which prisoner's partner does Colleen Powell (Judith McGrath) become romantically involved with? Who's the ex-prisoner who sends a postcard from Sydney to the girls planting aseed in one particular inmate?
New prisoners included in this set include Nola McKenzie (Carole Skinner), Janice Young (Catherine Wilkin),
Valma Pratt appears in one of her many small guest roles in this set and we also see Louise Siversen in a guest role prior to her main role later in the series. Maurie Fields, Babs Wheelton and Kirsty Child also have minor roles in this set.
One question you may wonder is Are there really so few hotel rooms in Melbourne that Lori (Susannah Fowle) seems to be in the same one (eps 343 - 345) vacated by Colleen.
By the end of watching this set you'll be over halfway through the series.
Enjoy the set! It's one of the best!

This volume takes us up to the halfway point in Prisoner Cell Block H episodes, and this is where it get's really good, This shows the big showdown between Bea and Joan ferguson (The Freak), subsequently the prison is set on fire causing the death of 2 inmates, but who will come out alive
we also see a trip to the men's prison Woodridge, and the male inmates are not happy, and cause a ruckus, but can the officers hear, when one of the inmates is about to give birth.
We also see the arrival of Nola Mckenzie, who soon establishes herself and shows the women she is no pushover, and an escape is in order for one of the inmates
This volume is another welcome addition, and finally get to relive the great cliffhanger of 1982, hope the rest of the volumes are released as quick
