1009 Brides of Christ
First viewed : 23 January 1992
This six-part Australian mini-series was shown on Channel Four and looked at the lives of the nuns and students at a Sydney convent school in the 1960s. As usual, I was on the lookout for ex-Prisoner faces and tuned in for the first episode concentrating on the conflict between a free-thinking new recruit Diane ( Josephine Byrnes ) and the conservative Sister Agnes ( Brenda Fricker ). Trying to keep the peace was Mother Ambrose ( Sandy Gore who was in Prisoner Cell Block H as white collar criminal Kay White ).
The series was well-acted and thoughtful, avoiding crude stereotypes but I didn't stay with it, That's a shame as I missed a young Naomi Watts as a troubled student, the main focus of the second episode. Russell Crowe also turned up in a later episode.
