The Prisoner first came to me as a teenager as it was played on PBS in Washington DC. Watching that brilliant tv show awakened us to the truth , that we all live in the Village.
I was fascinated by the Prisoner . I first watched it as a young boy. It was fascinating. We had a half frame canon camera. It was featured in one episode. I still love the show to this day
Qué maravilla! Gracias Antonio
Muchísimas gracias! Muy amable!
I've seen it a dozen or so times, already and will be watching again in a couple months. I have the DVD boxed set. I'm watching The Avengers, now and just about to finish the third season from `63 Once I finish watching all of those, in a month or so, I'll switch to Danger Man and then go into The Prisoner, probably by Sept. It just seems more fit to watch it in Sept.
Being a Vietnamese refugee coming to America at the age of 14 in 1981, I do get Dr. Nguyen's points about having a stronger voice for minorities. I am fighting a bigger battle of wokeism in our educational system which is the brand of communism I escaped from. I came to America during the Reagan era with a vision of making America a shining city on the hill and a beacon of hope for the world. I am afraid we are losing that vision under the Biden administration.
5% must go to the Village!

A strange yet also groundbreaking TV classic.

OUTSTANDING experience to realize that it is possible to share in a thoughtful analysis of this watershed moment in western culture. That is the magnitude of this series - a harbinger of dystopia to come and the dichotomy between man and machine. Thanks to all who have contributed to this; I’ve been in The Village since watching this for the first time at the age of 12 in 1982.
subject to change
I saw it on CBS as a summer replacement. I worked at a small station which did not air the series, but I watched it on the network feed. I was 23 at the time. I loved it then, but now, it seems a little too much about him.
Joy is my spirit animal
The Prisoner AND the late beautiful great Pat McGoohan’s vision never ceases to amaze, no matter how many times i watch it! It keeps evolving and identifying with my existence. ❤️.
The greatest composer of the XXs century next to Duke Ellington, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff in my opinion
Just like "1984" and "Brave New World" the "Prisoner" is a dystopian tale of man's future and what the end result of modernity. Instead of acting to dismantle these paradigms humanity is doubling down and diving head first into an abyss of total subjecation and control. Why? There is a no.1 , there really are overlords, they are the ones that control modernity, the heads of MI 6, heads of business, heads of government, the 1% Blackrock. Who put them there? We did, by buy into it and being led by the tail our whole lives! Mcgoohan could only hint at it through his series because he himself was a kinda of controled opt. ever keeping us confused and further drawn in by "it". Here's to " the eventual Avalanche " ! Be seeing you......
What? Fables of Faubus without the words???????
Yeah, got hooked on when I first saw it…what I couldn’t find out was this a “sequel” to Danger Man ? or was it a stand alone series……years later I was able to stay at the Hotel Portmeirion; they kept it exactly as it was filmed
There was a sequel of sorts. A TV series made in 2009. With the same title. Not very good. Surprised they didn't know.
The scripts were only submitted a short time before casting. So they tended to use the same actors they'd used before. To save time It was in another CZcams video
I happen to be training in Military Intelligence at the Defense Language Institute when KCET ran their psychiatry introductions before the showing of The Prisoner.. Needless to say I got the hell out of military intelligence...
The narrative order offers full disclosure of the NWO. The broadcast order is scrambled eggs, like the slides in Don't Forsake Me, which is a symbolic reference to the narrative order of the series thus, like the episode, so the series. The only thing comparable now would be the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Those of us watching the series in 1969-70 were also reading the Tolkien trilogy and listening to the first Led Zepplein album on psychedelics. The true identity of #1 was revealed when the hooded white jacket pressed the button on the #1 orbit tube in the final episode. It is obviously not #6 pushing the button, yet looks like him when the mask is removed, thus a shape shifter, leaving no way for anyone to know who #1 really is. The Prisoner was Mcgoohan's magnum opus, what the Edgar Cayce foundation would call 'High Play' in their book by the same title.
Where can I see the intros by the psychiatrist? Rod Gurney?
The Prisoner was my favorite when I was 7. Growing up got in the way and I finally watched the last episodes at age 57. I still love it😺I agree with Catherine about the opening of the program. I never get tired of seeing it.
Wilderson is most illuminating when writing about Black experience in the US - Black experience being equated to non-being, and White identity being formed by the absence of violence to which Black non-being is subject. However, I find it strains credibility to say that Blackness defines non-being all over the world, simply because Africans were used in the slave trade and therefore treated as commodities. His books are careful to never mention historical periods when Whites enslaved other Whites (such as during the Roman Empire) yet no racialization of non-being took place then. So why is Black enslavement such a pivotal moment in history? I'm not trying to sound condescending, he just never seems to answer this. I find his work rather distasteful when he has to go out of his way to prove that, yes, Jewish and Native American people were exterminated (arguably worse than being enslaved) but they were still "Human"! (whatever that means exactly). His system is an interesting abstraction and, as a White person, a way by which I can try to understand the depth of Black suffering. But I also can't help but think of historical or factual events which create complications for his rather fixed ideas about race (namely, that Black suffering is unique and is the only race excluded from "being").
It's not just about being enslaved, it's about occupying the position of the slave as different societies are forming a global community. And this goes really far back. You can find historical accounts of Arabs offering Black slaves to Chinese officials as an act of diplomacy, for example. Throughout the past centuries, a sort of global consensus has been forming around the inherent inferiority and - most importantly, I think - ahistorical nature of African people and African civilisation. We came to be viewed as a form of "humanity" outside of time, outside of everything that defines humanity, really: our religions are not real religions because we don't worship God. Our languages are not real languages because we don't write. Our art is not real art, etc... Everything we do, everything we say, even our very flesh requires you, the real people, to project 'humanity' onto it. This is why even though you would think that extermination is technically worse than enslavement, at least there is a being there to kill. Millions of Africans have been exterminated throughout the centuries (continuing to this day) and no one cares because no one views human beings being killed. And actually even if you were to project empathy onto Black bodies, you're still just revelling in your own humanity. If you were to really consider Black people as your equal, your heart would fill with existential dread.
I watched the Prisoner every week in its original KCET run. I had totally forgot about the psychiatrist. Thank you for this.
Hello Alex. I was an extra in Sid and Nancy - the scene with the que for the drug can on a string. Makeup gave me a charcoaled face since heroin addicts obviously don't bathe. I did a bit of extra work throughout the eighties and when you shot that scene the extras in the cue began to literally fight for facial exposure. I couldn't believe it. You were good to your crew and I like that.
Watching the prisoners is like dropping acid. You think. I'm joking 😃. Be seeing you. I'm one of those people who first saw it when it first aired. Good luck.
I Always Imagined "The Prisoner" was Kinda a Sequel to "Secret Agent Man"

Only in the USA would they turn a tv show into a psychiatry lesson.
There are many comments here; about the understanding of it etc. I'm not going to be one of them. Others have indeed, said other positive relevant comments. Without being patronising. I believe this type of eccentricity, is seemingly lost on American people. (The remake was awful for example). McGoohan was Irish though; and not English. There WAS a type of democracy. The episode is when Number 6, runs for the new number 2. This is perhaps intriguing; and a reflection on some countries. Again, this is down to interpretation. I think the way to look at it is this. It's a reflection of those times. The 60s. All You Need Is Love....The Beatles etc. Additionally, I believe McGoohan was commenting; on a type of Orwellian future. For example, if you look at the time when it was made. There were no doors, that opened automatically. Cameras everywhere... a la the place where Number 2; carried out visual surveillance. Cordless phones etc etc etc. My interpretation, it's about the control of society; and how we are all prisoners of it somehow, from cradle to grave. I cite the Covid rules. Death rates of 0.0003% in a supposed pandemic, plus Vax passport failures. Lockdown rules, that UK Govt and others didn't take seriously. (Christmas parties) Then suddenly, everybody told it was okay, roughly at the same time; recently. That sort of control. That people can't see; although it's staring them in the face. That society brands; as conspiracy theories. Others believe....It's about control of a stupified society, believing it's democratic. Plus he says in reply....I am not a number. I am a free man. Which in essence nobody is. Especially in todays, politically correct, insanely woke, mustn't upset anyone, pre and post Covid world. Even your lady Catherine here, made comments, on how we must all be careful in a Covid world. How women are strong. How women understood it so well etc. Why? Surely she seemingly, missed the control message. By making the endless, repetitive, monotonous Americanisms; she came out with. (Waiting for your criticism, in anticipation of my non compliance )
You have been found to be "unmutual". 🤣
