NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE

"The Prisoner" was one of the most original dramas ever aired on British television. Brainchild of producer and star Patrick McGoohan, the series portrays a top-secret government agent who resigns his position only to be immediately abducted and whisked away to an enigmatic, isolated seaside community known only as "The Village." Confined in this resort-like, yet sinister town, Number 6 (the new "identity" given to him by his captors) soon learns that no one can be trusted, and that those in charge (whose governmental and political affiliations are unknown) will take extreme measures to break him and learn the reasons behind his resignation.

Originally aired in 1967, the 17-episode series begins with Number 6's arrival in The Village, and ends with a two-part finale which many would claim raises more questions than it answers. During the course of the series, Number 6 struggles both to learn the identity of his captors and to escape from the isolated Village, cut off from the rest of the world by mountains and sea. Each episode features a new "Number 2" (right-hand man to the unseen Number 1), who brings with him to the Village new ideas and methods for breaking the unyielding Number 6. Servant to the current Number 2 is the mysterious butler, a silent dwarfish man who is the only series regular other than McGoohan.

With its unique mix of action, drama, science fiction and the surreal, and with a message even more relevant today than when it originally aired, "The Prisoner" is a television classic of the rarest kind.

ARRIVAL
A man resigns from a top secret job and returns to his London home, intending to go on leave. He is gassed and rendered unconscious, before being abducted to a mysterious place, known only as ‘The Village’, from which there appears to be no escape.

THE CHIMES OF BIG BEN
The imprisoned man, who has been given the title only of ‘Number 6’, watches a new female being brought to ‘The Village’. He plots with her an escape, which seems to have worked, as the pair reach Number 6’s former London headquarters, but a surprise is waiting.

B. AND C.
The leader of ‘The Village’, ‘Number 2’, uses a drug to manipulate Number 6’s dreams, so that his subconscious ‘actions’ can be watched on screen. Number 2 intends to find out why Number 6 resigned, by having him ‘meet’ old contacts while asleep, although Number 6 has his own plan.
