About this product

Product Information

Though it ran for a mere 17 episodes, the British sci-fi spy drama THE PRISONER is one of television's biggest cult hits. The brainchild of star Patrick McGoohan, the series followed the adventures of No. 6 (McGoohan), a former secret agent who is being held captive in a highly secured village, the location of which remains a mystery throughout the series. This groundbreaking and innovative show reached an unfortunate end when British TV bosses got cold feet following low ratings and increasingly strange story lines. But McGoohan himself took control and steered the show to an ending that continues to cause great debate among THE PRISONER's faithful fans. This release includes the entire series of the show.

  • Captured by The Prisoner

    I remember watching this series as a teen when it premiered. I loved it then; and I still do. This series was a sequel to the series "Secret Agent Man". That was a straightforward spy tale; but "The Prisoner" takes off into left field right away. The main character wants to resign, but there is no resigning: he is drugged, kidnapped, and taken to a weird little scenic village at an undisclosed location. Everyone there has a number; and there are a lot of weird mind-control experiments going on to make the main character reveal why he wanted to quit. And he's always trying to escape. An intriguing story line. This set is nicely packaged, with a very informative booklet included filled with little "secrets" of each episode. I highly recommend this set.

  • Intriguing 60's Classic

    I am sure this series may be a matter of taste, but it is British writing, style and imagination that for me has been second to none in television programing. This particular 40th anniversary set has some great additional bonus features and is well transferred to DVD. If you are a fan of the show, or someone nostalgic for great British imports that combine wit, adventure and a bit of fantasy from the 60's this might be right up your alley. It was stated in many published articles about the series that the 17th and final episode is a bit puzzling, but the show's creator and star the late Patrick McGoohan said he wanted to leave each viewer their own interpretation. Apparently many people were upset by the ending. Although a bit anti-climatic for me too, I still really loved watching this series and recommend it! I was 12 when it first aired and it had no appeal then but yes I am older and now it makes sense. Very happy I made the decision to give it a try.

  • Prophetic series 50 years ahead of its time.

    Great series from the 1960's with a lot of useful critique on the surveillance state and where we are today. Saw it along time ago and just watched it again. Chillingly prophetic ... just look at what various commonwealth countries are doing to their citizens in league with the leftist media and big tech and banking... esp Tyrant Trudeau and the vaccine mandates there, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, and Australia.

    An iconic classic TV or otherwise, best TV series, best of the box sets w/ great extras, superb acting and directing by Patrick McGoohan, visually stunning, great musical score. To this day, nothing compares.

  • I love the Prisoner!

    This is a Christmas gift but I remember watching it as a child...and I told my hubby he bought it for me and we will watch it in the new year - it's a show I loved and can't wait to watch as an adult and see the nuances that I'm sure I missed back in the day💝

  • Classic TV show

    Awesome show, can't get enough of it. Every episode leaves you rooting for the main character Number 6, as he tries over and over again to escape from The Village. Must see classic!

  • Worth the money in every way.

    The product is greater than as described; moreover, "The Prisoner" (1967) is a required possession for the completist collector and spectator.
