Though it ran for a mere 17 episodes, the 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 as 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, digitally restored.
