As you can see, the artwork is excellent and the sleeves on the whole feature an image which relates to one of the particular scenes in an episode on the discs inside, or a promotional image featuring characters/actors involved in the volume's storylines.

Plus, if you're not very good at remembering what happens on each episode, the inside covers feature a quick episode by episode synopsis so you know which episode is which. These have been written by us here at OTI and we have worked with Shock throughout the release.

Volumes 1- 33 have 4 discs with 16 Episodes, Volumes 34 - 39 have six discs with 24 episodes, Volume 40 has 5 discs up to 692. NB: For the boxed set, Volume 40 contains a 6th disc being the bonus disc.

The Australian volumes are currently being re-released to match the UK release, just to confuse matters! There is no new content apart from the design of the sleeves.

The Boxed Set

When it was released, "Prisoner Cell Block H - The Complete Collection" was the largest DVD television boxed set in the world!!!

It features 174 DVDs across 40 volumes, all housed in an exclusive and limited edition embossed metal collectors case.

As well as all of the individual volumes (which are identical in terms of content and appearance), included in the box set is a special commemorative pictorial book written by TV journalists Andrew Mercado and Michael Idato - plus a bonus disc of unseen Prisoner related footage.

The extras contained in the box set are exclusive to the box set only, so only fans buying the set will be able to have them and there are no plans to make them available to purchase separately.

The Bonus Disc contains:
Unseen version of closing credits of Prisoner featuring Lynne Hamilton
A gallery of over 300 Prisoner stills, many unseen from the FremantleMedia archives
"Lizzie-isms" - a collection of famous Lizzie sayings from throughout the series with visuals
"Classic Wentworth" - a random selection of classic Wentworth moments DVD Credits

Please note that the version 1 boxed set has long been deleted and you will not find it in any Australian retail stores unless they still have old stock. Your best bet is to try the online auction site eBay.

Boxed set v2

A re-release in late 2011 saw the whole boxed set become available again in Australia. The current edition is a repackaged set containing all 40 Australian volumes again, with the metal box itself this time being wrapped in a custom designed cardboard sleeve.

Only a small number are available however please note that this version does not contain the commemorative book which was exclusive to the original version.
