I think all 800 episodes (or just under that) are in one box set.

Kerry Armstrong was hot back then and still is.
Some of the acting is a bit wooden. The Monica and Noelene characters anyway.
Love if 111 start showing more Aussie stuff.

Great show, and as mentioned, some great script writing.
Later on, Ian Smith, who was Harold in neighbours, wrote many scripts for the show and appeared many times.
He deserves great credit on this show.
As for the early characters, Peita Toppano was definitely the sexiest out of the lot.

Ian Smith - went from Ted Douglas to Pixie Mason's Dad in the space of something like 8 episodes. Also played one of the cops who arrested Joan Ferguson in the very last episode.
It's also fantastic that quite a few of the cast, particularly the Bea Smith era cast, embrace the show and still do many Prisoner-related appearances, especially in the UK (where it became a real cult hit and is where the official fan club is based).

I always rated Kerry Armstrong. Linda Stoner too.

hosted a kids quiz show from the early 80's that I used to watch.
Another unrelated character on the show, I remember being played by Louise Siverson. She was one nasty piece of work. I'm thinking she was in later episodes towards mid 80's.

Yep all 692 episodes are available in a box set. Cheapest I saw one was just under $1100 at Kmart a few years ago. Most, if not all, would have been snapped up by now as the box set was a limited release.
The 40 volumes of DVD's have also been released. I ended up getting mine this way, and they were all signed by Val Lehman. Some pretty good commentaries on some of the eps as well (my favourites would be the Amanda Muggleton and Julianne Newbould one around the late 200's and the 692 commentary with Lois Collinder and Glenda Linscott). The box set also had a DVD of bonus features, such as Lizzie Birdsworthisms (was on YouTube for awhile, but was taken down unfortuately).
