Tenko


Does anybody else remember this British tv series, "Tenko"?

Several years ago they re-ran this on the Vision tv network on Sunday nights and I became hooked on it. I would love to find this on DVD someday.

If I were to try to describe the premise, it would sound absolutely horrible in a "women in prison" kind of way but actually it was a very engaging and quality drama (in the typical British style). It was wonderfully depressing. Think "Bridge on the River Kwai", only with an all-female cast.

Read a much better description here:


I can't even find any clips on YouTube except the opening & closing credits and a cheesy fan video. o_O

I seem to have an affinity for stories about imprisonment. Must be something psychological about my own feelings of being trapped in my job, etc!
