Synopsis

Though it ran for a mere 17 episodes, the sci-fi spy drama THE PRISONER is one of television's biggest cult hits. The brainchild of star Patrick McGoohan, the series followed the adventures of No. 6 (McGoohan), a former secret agent who is being held captive in a highly secured village, the location of which remains a mystery throughout the series. This groundbreaking and innovative show reached an unfortunate end as TV bosses got cold feet following low ratings and increasingly strange story lines. But McGoohan himself took control and steered the show to an ending that continues to cause great debate among THE PRISONER's faithful fans. This release includes the entire series of the show, digitally restored.

Patrick McGoohan, August 2007

Thanks to Network’s fresh and vastly improved edition,‘The Prisoner’ can journey happily into the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very impressive and befitting Blu-ray box set for The Prisoner!, 29 Sep 2009
Before its release I had read a variety of views and hopes about how this first ever Blu-ray box set of the complete series of the The Prisoner would work out. Having literally just received it this morning and admittedly only having watched the first episode, I'm happy to report it's very, very impressive indeed (so far)! The picture has been remastered very well. I've seen a lot of good old remasters recently, but in my opinion this one appears to be up there with the Bond remasters, Zulu and The Italian Job (and that's a high standard!). The image is sharp. There is little to no noise in the dark scenes and picture areas. The colours are lovely, really allowing the set and costume design to shine. There's also a good level of fine detail. Of course the picture quality may differ in the rest of the series, but taking the first episode on the first disc as the benchmark, I'm optimistic about the overall result. The sound is available in standard Dolby 5.1 (not HD audio from what I can see) but it's well done. Some of the dialogue is a little muffled, but I think that's due to the use of on location/on set sound as opposed to extensive use of ADR (which we are all, I guess, most used to these days). The music covers the surround sound field very nicely and is crisp and nice quality. There's also the option to listen to the original mono soundtrack, which I briefly tried. The menu and presentation on the disc is also nicely done. It's worth mentioning the cardboard box itself. It's larger than I expected but it provides a very attractive housing for the whole package. It's about the width of 2.5 Blu-ray boxes, and about 2-3 boxes high (I'm not really sure how/where I'm going to store it, to be honest!). Inside there's a long book companion to the series alongside a bespoke Blu-ray case holding the multiple discs (about the same size as the Star Trek Original Series 1 box, for reference, so I suppose you can keep that our your shelf and store the presentation box elsewhere...). I'm now looking forward to enjoying this magnificent series with picture and sound quality befitting of such an unique, unusual and timeless programme. Overall, very highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Prisoner, 23 Feb 2009
By Paul Ashwood - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Prisoner [DVD] [1967] (DVD)
I was too young to watch this series when it was first shown back in the late 60's but as there has always been this 'cult viewing' description attached to it I wanted to see it for myself. Well, it certainly lives up to the decription! Whilst there is a story in each episode, it's essential that you see the first one to have any way of understanding those that follow and even then you'll have to open your mind a little.
Seemingly based on the 'you can resign but you'll never leave' belief held by many about government employees especially those from MI5, it teeters between reality and madness but in a truly colourful way.

The digital reproduction is excellent and it's hard to believe this was made in the 60's, the imagery, setting and acting is first class and looks more like something that could have been made last week rather than 40 years ago. Top Draw!!

5.0 out of 5 stars First class, 1 Oct 2009
By Joe Woods (Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This blu-ray release has completely blown me away.

I've had a blu-ray player for about a year now and never really understood what all the fuss was about. But this is just amazing, I just can't understand how they've managed to improve the picture quality so much - it looks like it was filmed months ago - not in 1960s!

I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I've seen the TV and regular DVD releases dozens of times - but you notice so many more details with this improved picture quality.

The sound quality has also miraculously been improved upon. So now you can watch in 5.1 and not mono!

I think I'm going to have to ration this, and treat myself to only 1 or 2 episodes a week. It almost feels like you're watching brand new episodes.

This "Network" studio who produced this release have done an absolutely superb job and I think all Prisoner fans will notice and applaud what they have done. The disc comes in a nice presentation box, comes with a thick book about The Prisoner production, and there's at least 2 bonus DVDs. And all for less than £45!

There's a quote on the back of the box from McGoohan which implies he saw and approved of this remastered version before he passed away, which adds even more credibility to this.

It's worth buying a blu-ray player just to watch this.
