The Schizoid Man

Episode 3 of 6

Number 6’s only ally, Number 9, sees double as Number 2 employs extreme measures to break the rogue agent. Stars Mark Elstob.

Number 6 finds himself fascinated by a strange bond which has suddenly developed between himself and Number 9. But the next morning, he wakes to find himself changed. A moustache, different hair, and... a new designation - Number 12.

The original 17 episode TV series of 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 coastal village.

Under constant surveillance, Number 6 can trust no-one and relentlessly works to establish who his captors are, a seemingly impossible task when the most senior figure he encounters – Number 2 – changes frequently...
