8 APRIL 2008 : PLANS FOR A PRISONER PARTY - 2009  

Next year will see the 30th anniversary of Prisoner beginning filming. To celebrate the occasion, original Top Dog Val Lehman (Bea Smith) has plans for a huge party within the original Wentworth garden.

Details are still to be confirmed but it expected that the event will take place on Sunday 22 February 2009 at the Global Television Studios, where 'Wentworth' still stands today.

A number of cast and crew will be invited to attend with 300 Prisoner fans who will be treated to a gourmet BBQ.

Tickets will become available to buy in due course, initially to members of Val's Top Dog Club.

To keep up to date on further details please visit Val's website at www.val-lehman.com or email admin@val-lehman.com.

Please note that this event is not organised or associated with OTI so we are unable to assist with any queries.
