The definitive fan club companion to the television phenomenon, including a full episode guide, tying in to the 35th anniversary of the series which will be celebrated throughout 2002. He's a top-level agent, highly trained and ultra-secret. But he wants out. They won't let him quit. He quits anyway. Then suddenly there comes the day when he wakes up in captivity. A pleasant old-fashioned place, The Village, that's packed solid with electronic surveillance hardware. He is the Prisoner. He was the best in his field, but is he good enough to escape the men who've chained his life to the wall? The Prisoner was an enigmatic drama series starring Patrick McGoohan. Its cult has mushroomed ever since ('I am not a number! I am a free man!). Endorsed by the official Prisoner fan club, Six of One, and including interviews with many of the original cast and crew of the series, this is the independent handbook to the cult sixties TV series to end them all.

Review
“Davies’ stunning accuracy took my breath away… This is what it really means. This is how it really was.” -- Alexis Kanner, Number 48
From the Publisher
The Prisoner, which recently marked its 35th anniversary, has puzzled and intrigued television viewers since it was originally aired in the late 1960s. Only 17 episodes were ever made, each of them riddled with symbolism and unanswerable questions. The Prisoner Handbook, which features interviews with Patrick McGoohan, Kenneth Griffith, Alexis Kanner, and Anton Rogers, reveals an unprecedented amount of new information about the characters, the cast, and what it was really like during the production. Complete with a foreword by filmmaker Alex Cox and a full, episode–by–episode guide, this is the ultimate companion to television’s most enigmatic series. Foreword by Alex Cox.
