Prisoner is no longer on TV in the UK. The last episode was broadcast on Channel 5 in February 2001. Some ITV regions did not show the whole series
Ulster have not shown Prisoner since Monday 15/12/97 (562).
Carlton "suspended the series indefinitely" after (598) on 20/08/98.
Meridian's ended with (586) which was the last to be shown on 12/07/99.
South Africa's SABC1 stopped with (156) on Monday 2nd October 2000. Thanks to Devon for forwarding the reply he got "SABC1 has decided not to licence any further seasons of the series". The series is only likely to continue in South Africa if SABC2 take it up, which doesn't sound very likely either.

Thanks to Steve West for sending me the results of his research into the original Melbourne broadcast dates from TV listings magazines. I have only used the dates which have been confirmed from published sources, though it's possible to deduce the dates in the gaps in between in many cases. Thanks also to Peter Rayner for the dates for (289)-(290).
If you have any more information, please contact .
