Let the Blood Run Free was an anarchic Australian spoof television soap opera set in the fictional St Christopher's Hospital and created by comedy collective The Blood Group, based on their theatrical comedy revue. Directed by John Thomson, the show ran for two series on Network Ten, August 1990 – January 1994.
It was one of the first interactive TV programs, where the audience could vote on The Young Doctors -style skits. One episode included a parody of the cult series Prisoner (aka Prisoner: Cell Block H ).
