The original 17 episode TV series of β€˜The Prisoner’ created intrigue and controversy in equal measure when it first aired in the UK in 1967.

In a taut psychological spy thriller the main character, dehumanised as β€˜Number 6’, has committed no crime, save for having resigned from some unspecified branch of the British Secret Service. His prison is a heavily guarded, ornate coastal village.

A Big Finish Production - based on the classic ITV series - released in August 2015.
