Sources

The section below describing the pattern of broadcasts and deviations from the pattern is taken from information deleted from the wikipedia entry on Prisoner. As it derives from different sources (mainly TV listings in The Times with some cross checking in regional newspapers) it can be used for cross checking and as a starting point for further research.

Thursdays with 13 episodes shown until April 1987, then a break until autumn 1987 when Thursdays resume with 13 more episodes until Thursday 10 December.. Show then restarts with episode 27 on Mondays from 12 September 1988, then stops at episode 52 (17/04/89) showing that TSW must buy in blocks of 13. Series goes back to weekly Thursdays with ep 53 from 20 July 1989, then switches to Fridays from 20 April 1990 then Sundays and Mondays from 1 September 1991. In January 1992 the series returns to weekly Thursdays, then Sundays and Thursdays until episode 239 (TSW's last episode) on Sunday 20th December 1992. Having no desire to make too many programmes themselves during their last months on air TSW viewers saw an increase in output of all imported regional Australian soaps to fill the hours. TSW's successor Westcountry Television commenced from episode 240 and screened the series initially on Tuesdays 23:40 and Thursdays 23:10. During late 1994 Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays were used unless network programmes filled the 23:10 / 23:40 slot. Sundays were axed from the start of 1995. After 25 May 1995 episode, Thursday episode moves to Wednesdays starting on 7 June. From September series switches to Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays only during January 1996 until Thursday episode returns on 15 February. Mondays resumed in 1997 with a Thursday episode added from 14 August 1997 (episode 671).
