Before Cell Block H and Bad Girls, there was Within These Walls - The Complete First Series (12) of this original prison drama is available to buy on DVD for the first time on 16th February 2009.
Within These Wallsoffers an authentic portrayal of day-to-day prison life as well as the progress of the penal system, reflecting the shift from a Victorian ethos of punishment to an emphasis upon rehabilitation a task that the newly appointed governor Fay Boswell (Googie Withers - Shine) takes most seriously.
The series centres upon her attempts to liberalise the regime of Stone Park, H.M. Prison for women.
With a strong cast all on top form and an authentic, powerful script, Within These Wallsremains a high point in the history of British television drama.
