Sources

Information on episodes (1) to (40) was sent by "Vera Bennett". Further information could be collected from the google news archive which has scans of the Glasgow "Evening Times" up to the end of July 1990.

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.

Initially Fridays 23:35. Series then takes a break at the end of August for snooker and returns in early September in new slots Sundays 23:30 and Thursdays 22:35. Sundays and Mondays from January 1989, then back to Sundays and Thursdays from April 1989, Thursday episode temporarily dropped at the end of October 1989 to allow Falcon Crest to complete before Christmas. During 1990 the show was often screened at 23:35 on both nights. During mid 1992 the Sunday episode briefly switched to Monday leaving a return to Sundays and Thursdays as the nights used at the end of 1992. From 5 January 1993 Tuesdays 23:40 and Thursdays 23:10 were used. Episode 476 screened on Thursday 28 October 1993 was followed by Episode 548 on Tuesday 2 November 1993, then as Granada from this point onwards until the end. 71 episodes missed to catch up to Granada. Daytime Australian soaps experienced a similar "Granada jump" at the end of December 1993. US series Crime Story replaced the programme.
