Do you remember The Prisoner? Did you know what it was all about, or is it still a mystery? You can now revisit this cult classic from start to finish and find out the real truth. The Prisoner shop is here... calling No.6, come in No.6!!!
The Prisoner is an allegorical UK 1960s science fiction television series starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan. It follows a former British secret agent who, after abruptly resigning from his position, is held captive in a small village by the sea by an unidentified power which wishes to establish the reason for his resignation. Episodes typically feature the unnamed prisoner, labelled Number Six by his captors, unsuccessfully attempting to escape from the Village, but successfully resisting interrogation and attempts of brainwashing.
The show was created by McGoohan and George Markstein, with exteriors filmed primarily on location at the Hotel Portmeirion in Penrhyndeudraeth, North Wales. Seventeen episodes were produced. The first was originally broadcast in London on 1 October 1967 and the last aired on 4 February 1968. The world broadcast premiere was on the CTV Television Network in Canada on September 5, 1967.
