Who is THE PRISONER?

He is a man without a name and whose background is wreathed in mystery… Now a captive in the most intriguing, menacing, yet beautiful prison in the world – a very lovely village… but how to escape?

THE PRISONER is one of the most challenging and unusual series ever filmed for television, devised by series star Patrick McGoohan. The Prisoner resists every physical and mental effort to break him… stories of one man’s tremendous, unflinching battle for survival as an individual in a macabre world in which every move is watched by electronic eyes and in which all of his ‘neighbours’ are suspect. The series’ themes are incredibly as relevant today as they were in 1967.

This 6-disc set brings together all 17 digitally restored episodes, special features including the in-depth documentaries Don’t Knock Yourself Out, and In My Mind which examines the story of Patrick McGoohan’s reluctance to speak about the series.
