After resigning, a secret agent finds himself trapped in a bizarre prison known only as The Village.
A new Number 8 named Nadia arrives in The Village, and together Number 6 and she plot their escape.
Number 2 believes that Number 6 resigned because he was going to sell out. Using dream manipulation, Number 2 tries to determine which one of three possible candidates Number 6 was dealing with.
Number 6 runs for the office of Number 2.
Number Six wakes up with a new identity. Now he's Number Twelve. Worse, Number Two asks him to impersonate someone--Number Six. But the new Number Six is more like him than he is.
An instant learning process becomes the Village's latest fad, but Number 6 is sure that Number 2 is using it as a brain washing tool.
Number 6 wakes up to find the Village totally deserted.
Number 6 comes across a body that has washed ashore with a radio. After sending the body back out to sea, he tries to use the radio to get rescued.
Inspired by a large chess game with people taking the place of the game pieces, Number 6 formulates a new escape plan with some compatriots.
Number 6 vows revenge and goes after a sadistic Number 2 after he drives a fellow village resident to her death.
Number Six hears of an assassination plot against Number Two, but it's the new Number Two doing all the plotting against the retiring Number Two.
After a brawl Number 6 is declared "unmutual" and is made to think that he has undergone "instant social treatment."
With his mind transferred to another body, Number 6 wakes up in his London flat and can't convince his colleagues who he is. He takes off to Austria to find the one man who can help him, the person Number 2 wants him to find.
Number 6 finds himself in the middle of a wild west version of his imprisonment.
Back in London, Number 6 is trying to track down a crazed scientist who is protected by his homicidal daughter.
Because all other attempts to break Number 6 have failed, Number 2 decides to engage him in a game where one of them will end up dead.
After witnessing the trials of Number 2 and Number 48 and meeting the President of the Assembly, Number 6 escapes during the chaos that follows.
A special program offering a behind-the-scenes look at "The Prisoner," the series of dramas about a man who finds himself imprisoned in a quaint yet menacing resort village, where futuristic technology keeps him under constant surveillance, making escape seem impossible. The program uses the "Prisoner" premise, with host Saul Reichlin seated in a large futuristic chair, attempting to elicit "information" about the series to determine why it was such a success. Clips from "The Prisoner" and actor/executive producer Patrick McGoohan's previous series "Danger Man" are interwoven with interviews with McGoohan, as well as creative and production personnel.
The programme is an interview with Patrick McGoohan that was conducted by writer/TV host Warner Troyer. It took place in Toronto in 1977 in front of, and with the participation of, a studio audience. The 35-minute program was broadcast on TVOntario, a public television network which had shown The Prisoner series along with commentaries from Troyer from October 1976 to February 1977. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority also published a 21-page booklet on The Prisoner called The Prisoner Puzzle.
'In My Mind', is a feature documentary made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 'The Prisoner' written and directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Chris Rodley. The film recounts one of Chris' early filmmaking experiences: an attempt to interview Patrick McGoohan - something McGoohan had resisted previously - about his enigmatic series for a Channel 4 commissioned documentary. A documentary that didn't quite go to plan. In a series of frank interviews conducted by Chris, most of which ultimately remained unused in the 1983 documentary 'Six Into One - The Prisoner File', McGoohan slowly reveals his innermost thoughts about his concept. Featuring new interviews with his daughter Catherine McGoohan, who offers insightful and informed views on her father's inner emotional and psychological state of mind and featuring never-before-seen archive footage, this is the definitive story of 'The Prisoner' as told by its creator.
Interview with original series production manager Bernie Williams. In this discussion, Bernie reveals man behind-the-scenes facts and observations, as well as what it was like to work with the elusive Patrick McGoohan.
