Description: 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. Some fans think I should
sell my car for a chance to own the iconic KAR 120C
Lotus Seven Series II featured on the Network Package cover,
but I'll leave that to the diehard fans of the show.
Network Package:
A & E Package:
a top-level spy decided he didn't want to be a spy anymore,
could he just walk into HQ and hand in his resignation? With
all that classified knowledge in his head, would he be
allowed to become a civilian again, free to go about his
life? The answer, according to the stylish, brilliantly
conceived 1960s British TV series The Prisoner, is a
resounding no. In fact, instead of receiving a gold watch
for his years of faithful service, our hero (played by
Patrick McGoohan) is followed home to his London flat and
knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a
picturesque village where everyone is known by a number.
Where is it? Why was he brought here? And, most important,
how does he leave?
we learn in Episode 1, Number 6 can't leave. The Village's
&citizens& might dress colorfully and stroll around its
manicured gardens while a band plays bouncy Strauss marches,
but the place is actually a prison. Surveillance is near
total, and if all else fails, there's always the large,
mysterious white ball that subdues potential escapees by
temporarily smothering them. Who runs the Village? An
ever-changing Number 2, who wants to know why Number 6
resigned. If he'd only cooperate, he's told, life can be
made very pleasant. &I've resigned,& he fumes. &I will not
be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or
numbered. My life is my own.& So sets the stage for the
ultimate battle of wills: Number 6's struggle to retain his
privacy, sanity, and individuality against the array of
psychological and physical methods the Village uses to break

those 60's TV Series that was shot on 35mm and although
I expected an HD transfer to look good - I didn't think it
would look this... incredible. On

assume the
will be the same
transfer - stay tuned. At times this image from a TV series
made over 40 years ago - looks just S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. I often sat open-mouthed
approaching disbelief that contrast and colors could be
rendered so adeptly bringing out the sharpness to such a lofty
level. I noticed a few very minor speckles but that is the
fullest extent of any complaints I might have about these
visuals.&This 1080P transfer advances light years beyond
the last DVD editions in several areas - most
notably detail and colors. The expanded captures below can
speak to disbelievers.
assumption was correct - the technical statistics bear out
that these are essentially the exact same excellent
transfers with each episode taking up about 8 Gig (ex.
episode one takes up the e-x-a-c-t same disc space!). There may
be some minor deviation (colors), but I haven't found
anything dramatic yet. I suspect that there is no one, independent of
the system it was played on, that could distinguish the
difference between the Network and the A&E transfers. This
is contrary to the DVD packages where Network won out
handily. The A&E set has the series over 4 discs with a 5th
dual-layered DVD of supplements. I matched the captures
below as precisely as I could. In short there is no
difference in image quality - both are magnificent.&

The new 5.1 track has some keen moments with the deep
crackling thunder clap as McGoohan pounds his fist on his
superior's desk with his resignation delivered 'Private
and Personal - By Hand' in the much viewed opening. It's
a decent 5.1 separation but it's not lossless - limited
without that level of depth and range. Too much effort in an
audio mix can render it an uncomfortable marriage to an
older transferred image BUT as this video is so strong it
might have actually worked (ala Star Trek). Anyway -
we'll never know - the DD 5.1 has some 'Village' crowd
moments reaching the rears and dialogue is always crisp and
audible but there are optional English subtitles for those
who desire them. Thankfully, for purists, the original mono
is included an option.

would be shorter to list what isn't included. Let's
focus on the big stuff though - in the package is Andrew
Pixley's 290-page book: The Prisoner - A Complete
Production Guide. It's an exhaustive, in-depth look at
the production of the 17 episodes which uncovers a wealth of
information set into the context of the production run of
the series. Disc 5 has &Don't Knock Yourself Out&
this exclusive, 1.5 hour documentary is the definitive look
at the production of THE PRISONER, told by those
involved in its creation. It includes a combination of
archive and newly-filmed interviews with over 40 people,
including Amette Andre, Bernard Williams, David Tomblin,
Derren Nesbitt, Peter Wyngarde, Anton Rodgers, Michael
Grade, George Baker and Peter Bowles. On the first 4 discs
are 7 full length commentaries - specifically Arrival
(with Production Manager Bernie Williams + Film Librarian
Tony Sloman), The General (director Peter Graham
Scott), The Schizoid Man (Pat Jackson), The Chimes
of Big Ben (Vincent Tilsley), A Change of Mind
(Roger Parkes), Dance of the Dead (Bernie Williams,
Tony Sloman + editor John S. Smith) and Fall Out
(Eric Mival + Noreen Ackland). After that you have a
never-ending run of Behind the Scenes Footage, a
newly restored original edit of &#8216;Arrival&#8217; with an
optional music-only soundtrack featuring Wilfred Josephs&#8217;
complete and abandoned score, trailers for all episodes,
archive textless material, including the title sequence with
clean themes by Ron Grainer, Wilfred Josephs and Robert
Farnon, commercial 'Break Bumpers', Never before offered
footage, Script and Production Documentation PDFs and
image galleries with music suites on each of the first 4
discs (see below).
NOTE: Disc 6 is a 2.84 Gig
single-layered DVD that some players have had issue with
because of the inclusion of the imbedded PDF documentation.
It played fine though on my Oppo
Blu-ray and Malata DVD players but the Momistu
treated it as it would when you use the Flash Drive input
asking whether content is &Audio& or &Video&.
This is where we see the differences.
Firstly we don't get Andrew Pixley's hefty book but, to be
fair, the price reflects that. The fifth disc in the A&E
package is a dual-layered NTSC DVD (Region 1) that has the
same 1.5 hour &Don't Knock Yourself Out& documentary.
Some of the minor supplements are duplicated (see full list
above) - included is the original edit of the episode &The
Chimes of Big Ben& - which looks in horrible a/v shape
comparatively - just to show how far the Blu-ray transfers have come.
Included is &The Pink Prisoner&
where Peter Wyngarde pays tribute to the series in this
unique cross between an interview and comedy sketch and we
get a short preview of AMC's 'The Prisoner' mini-series
remake. The commentaries are still there and included are
the original scripts for each episode, along with other
rarely-seen production documentation, press releases, call
sheets and other memorabilia as PDF files accessible on the
5th disc DVD of 84 files of 605 MB. I haven't looked too
deeply but everything advertised seems to be here.&
BOTTOM LINE:
While the region 'B' enforcement will make the impatient North
American fan wait - it's just under a month. This series is
iconic and has only grown in stature in the past decade with
a new generation being exposed to its addictive eccentricities. The
Blu-ray is up for Best of the Year accolades with the inclusion of the
informative 290-page book and exhaustive supplements.
Advertised as &Available here for the first time is the
complete series, digitally restored in High Definition from
the original 35mm film elements, presented at a quality
level never previously seen& - that statement seems very
accurate. For fans of The Prisoner this is the
ultimate gift package and we surely give it our highest
endorsement!
NOTE: While writing this review I wore a monkey mask. I've
just removed it and underneath was...
A&E: Okay, I
took off the monkey mask finding yet another monkey mask and
removed that too in order to finish my comments. Depending
on what you are looking for these sets are both magnificent.
Since most people are region-locked you don't really have a
choice on which set to purchase. The Region 'B' book may be
excessive for many and it makes the US price fairly&
reasonable considering the content. We still give this a
strong endorsement no matter which set is purchased. This
series is wonderful to own in high-definition!

About the Reviewer:
Hello, fellow Beavers! I have been interested in film
since I viewed a Chaplin festival on PBS when I was
around 9 years old. I credit DVD with expanding my
horizons to fill an almost ravenous desire to seek out
new film experiences. I currently own approximately 9500
DVDs and have reviewed over 3500 myself. I appreciate my
for furthering my film
education and inspiring me to continue running DVDBeaver.
Plus a healthy thanks to those who donate and use our
Amazon links.
Although I never wanted to become one of those guys who
focused 'too much' on image and sound quality - I
find HD is swiftly pushing me in that direction. So be
it, but film will always be my first love and I list my
favorites on the old YMdb site now accessible
