Default The Prisoner Television Series

Are there any fans of the television series "The Prisoner" starring Patrick McGoohan? He was known for a previous British television series called "Secret Agent" AKA "Danger Man". The Prisoner was a bizarre and a thought provoking show. It was about a British intelligence agent who abruptly resigns from service and is then subsequently abducted to a place known as "The Village", where everyone is referred to only as a number. Every week The Prisoner AKA number 6, fights against those in charge who want to know what the reason for his resignation was, while he tries to outfox them and look for a way to escape. A great cerebral show that was way ahead of it's time. It would be great to have a gathering with fans of the show here in The Village(s).

Liked secret agent better especially the song.

Watched the Prisoner for awhile and finally got bored with it.

Default "I am not a number!"

Loved him being chased by the big balloon.
All he needed was a pin, and he would have been out of there.
James Bond he wasn't!

Spent the whole semester of a high school english class watching the Prisoner. This was in the mid 70's so it must have been on a reel to reel videotape machine. You can't compare "The Village" to The Villages. We have better amenities.

I am not a numbah!

Having a gathering of Prisoners fans in the Villages is about as likely as me organizing a successful get together of Siouxsie and the Banshees fans. But good luck. I’d go.

Default Excellent show!

It's available (and free) on Amazon Prime TV Series. The tech is a bit overdone and passe, but the show's intensity more than makes up for it. Check it out!

Whenever I leave The Villages bubble I always look behind me to see if a big white balloon is chasing after me...
I also loved The Avengers with Mrs. Peel...
