	Prisoner (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series was produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation and ran on Network Ten for 692 episodes from 1979 to 1986.
		Prisoner premiered in Australia on 27 February 1979 and instantly struck a chord with the audience, prompting the producers to extend the series from a sixteen-part serial to an ongoing concern.
		Prisoner remained a popular programme, however the 1984 and 1985 seasons are characterised by a number of jarring cast reshuffles, preventing the series from re-establishing the continuity and focus it had enjoyed in earlier years.

	Mike Paterson on the classic British TV series, The Prisoner
		In the sixties, the decade of artistic boundary-stretching, the archetypal TV cult was The Prisoner.
		The look of the series, like the toy-box architecture of Portmeirion, is a mix of the familiar and the jarring; the fantasy element of Number Two's control room allows a science fiction flavour, the costumes are uniforms outside of fashion never betraying a particular time or place.
		While Carlton TV may not be exactly a byword for the very best the medium has to offer, its video arm is a repository for some really interesting material, such as the simultaneous DVD and VHS release of The Remorseful Day, the final film in Colin Dexter's long-running (and highly successful) Inspector Morse series.

	'Prisoner' Remake Ready to Roll - U.K. network wants to update cult classic - Zap2it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		British satellite channel Sky One is embarking on a remake of the cult-classic show "The Prisoner." The new series, slated to run for six episodes, would likely premiere sometime next year, 40 years after the original debuted on ITV.
		Rumors of a new series have been percolating for some time, but Sky One didn't greenlight the project until this week.
		The remake of "The Prisoner" will stick to the original's outline, in which a government agent resigns his post and then is drugged and dragged off to a mysterious prison called The Village, where people are referred to by numbers rather than names.

		The answer, according to the stylish, brilliantly conceived 1960s British TV series The Prisoner, is a resounding no. In fact, instead of receiving a gold watch for his years of faithful service, our hero (played by Patrick McGoohan) is followed home to his London flat and knocked unconscious.
		Patrick McGoohan's complete classic 17-episode TV series is presented in the fan-preferred viewing order, which follows events and dialogue within each story to provide a consistent and enjoyable viewing experience.
		The series is full of symbolism and social commentary while The Vilage is referred to as "The model for a new world order" by one of the constantly changing #2's.

	The Unmutual Reviews The Prisoner's Dilemma Novel (Prisoner/McGoohan/Portmeirion)
		It was therefore understandable that when, in 2003, The Unmutual website announced news that Powys Media were planning a series of 6 novels based on The Prisoner TV series, that my thoughts turned to those previous attempts.
		The first of these books is "The Prisoner's Dilemma", by award winning SF author Jonathan Blum, and UK-based comedy writer Rupert Booth, with a foreward by Babylon 5's J. Michael Straczynski, and is being launched in March 2005, priced at $14.99 in the US and £9.99 in the UK (full ordering details at http://www.powysmedia.com).
		One criticism sometimes levelled at The Prisoner TV series is that some of its aspects are not greater explored.

		As a TV show Prisoner was before its time not only for tackling issues not seen before on TV but it would be considered to be one of the first TV shows where women held the all the major roles and the male actors a supporting role.
		Many of the actresses to have appeared in Prisoner where either household names in TV, movies, theatre or song or became household names as result of appearing in the show.
		Enjoy the characters and the story lines as it is a series that only comes along once in a life time.

		Plot Outline: A resigned secret agent is abducted to a bizarre prison where the warders are almost as determined to break him as he is in trying to escape.
		As for the series like many others I remember first seeing the show as a 10 year old, it left an indelible impression on me then and with time that impression hasn't faded one bit, I still consider it one of the finest television series ever created.
		For those who ask what the series is all about, I'd say watch it, and make your own mind up don't just accept my opinion on it, 'think' for yourself.

		One I particularly like is the suggestion that the Prisoner's "victory" was really a last desperate attempt to co-opt him: flatter him by praising his success at thwarting them, then tempt him with the chance to join the system as its leader.

	The Prisoner TV Series - Surrealism and 60s British TV Series
		There are a host of other less well recognized 60s British TV series that shared this sense of the surreal.
		One of the feature that made this show most popular (particularly) in the United States was it's 'kitchness'...And while Americans might believe this was artistic choice, the truth is that the BBC budget was ridiculously low and so this drove the 'look' of the program.
		But I think it is true to say that this 'make do' attitude drove British producers to be rather more imaginative with their visual interpretations (they had to be!), and far more reliant on imaginative scripting to keep the audience entertained.
