    The iconic opening titles for THE PRISONER show how Number Six (Patrick McGoohan) was captured and imprisoned in The Village, a mysterious place where all residents - guards and prisoners alike, do not use names, and instead are assigned a number.
    Constantly watched by high-tech security, including the balloon-shaped robot Rover, prisoners will be captured or killed when trying to escape.
    Discover the macabre world of The Prisoner in our 7-disc Limited Edition Hardbox set, jam-packed with brand NEW and archival special features, a 120 page collectable booklet, two documentaries, plus a bonus disc with five episodes of Patrick McGoohan’s previous series DANGER MAN, also loaded with new and archival special features.

    “I am not a number I am a free man“ is sadly more true now then it was back in 1967 when this amazing show premiered. I remember it so vividly and I’ve seen it many times since. And probably one of the best (and longest) title sequences ever.

    If he'd packed his case first and dropped his resignation letter off on the way to the airport, the series would never have happened.

      He should have just posted the letter. That way, he could be almost anywhere in the world by the time his employer realised he’d resigned.

    First watched this in the very early 1970s when it was repeated in the Anglia region. Didn't understand it at all (I was 9) and developed a temporary phobia about balloons ! Made when tv companies just said 'yes' to anything different. And it is still as great and enigmatic as it was back then !

      @jaediccacairns4754 2 місяці тому +3

      It was John Drake but McGoohan couldn’t use the name as it was owned by the Dangerman producers. They would have had to pay royalties and appearance fees. So it was easier to deny.

      Are you referring to the Blu-ray copy released by Network in the UK? The picture was fantastic. One of the oldest programmes in my Blu-ray collection yet probably the best looking Blu-ray for picture quality. The colours are so clear and sharp. The original film must've been looked after well. This new release though by Imprint Films has quite a bit more bonus material. My Network copy I believe only has a couple of episodes of Danger Man. This has a lot more. This new Imprint release was scanned at 2K (not 4K) and the original film was 35mm. I presumed the Network release was a 4K transfer. Perhaps I was wrong. We'll see. A very neat set.
