The Prisoner - Volume 5 of 5 (Episode 17 & Bonus features)

synopsis


Following his resignation, a high ranking Government Official is abducted from his home and taken to a picturesque seaside location known as "The Village". However, the idealic surroundings hide a sinister world where "guests" are simply labelled as numbers and escape is impossible. His captors want secret information and will use any means to obtain it - give in and you'll be left to live out your days as a brainwashed member of the community - rebel and your stay will be far from pleasant.

With escape the objective, THE PRISONER must also strive to maintain his identity throughout the clever methods of interrogation employed by his abductors, whilst pursuing his obsession to discover "Who is Number 1?"

Can they break him?
How far will they go?
Or can THE PRISONER escape and outsmart them all?

First screened in 1967, Patrick McGoohan's television masterpiece has refused to be resigned to the past with new generations discovering its unique plots, colourful production values and striking images.

Fall Out:
Following his success, The Prisoner is taken below The Village & presented as the victor. He is congratulated by all & will be given the chance to meet with Number 1 & those running The Village. Is this his moment to finally escape his captors & return home to London?

The Chimes Of Big Ben (Alternate Version):
This rare original version of the 2nd episode in the series was screened at a press preview in 1967. Before the series aired, the episode (and series) underwent changes & therefore this pre-broadcast version features notable differences including the original theme music & scenes not used in the final “broadcast version”.

The Prisoner Companion:
Since its initial broadcast in 1967, The Prisoner has been considered THE cult series of all time. It has continued to broaden its fan base, has spawned an Appreciation Society but still remains much of a mystery in relation to its meanings & controversial ending. This US produced documentary attempts to explain some of the background & symbols of this landmark series.

Featurette - Collecting The Prisoner:
"We want information". Ever since The Prisoner escapes, fans have not only searched for the series' meanings, but also for original props & collectables.
