The Prisoner: The Official Companion to the Classic TV Series

by Robert Fairclough

It's 35 years since Patrick McGoohan's thriller series The Prisoner, a strange blend of espionage, psychodrama and fantasy, first entranced the British public. Every week, viewers watched as the eponymous prisoner, Number 6, imprisonedin a hi-tech Shangri-La-style village, was subjected to bizarre interrogation techniques and sinister scientific experiments. In turn, the Prisoner would try to escape his captors and, although always frustrated in his bids for freedom,he would sometimes be the moral victor by turning the tables on his anonymous persecutors.

I enjoyed the TV series and this book has a lot, I mean, a lot of information about the TV series. Patrick McGoohan was quite the control freak. Wow!

I am now looking forward to rewatching the series.

I must complain however ... the amount of typos, misspellings, lack of and inappropriate punctuation, and unfinished sentences is unforgiveable.

Pár informací, co jsem netušil, pár co jsem nejspíš zapomněl, ale jako celek parádní ohlédnutím za tímto klenotem britské seriálové tvorby.

The Prisoner: The companion to the class TV series by Robet Fairclough, including a dvd that contains the first episode, Arrival, and the alternate version of Chimes of Big Ben. Beautiful pictures and lots and lots of information on the episodes.
