レビュ-If a top-level spy decided he didnt 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?As we learn in Episode 1, Number 6 cant leave. The Villages 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, theres 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 hed only cooperate, hes told, life can be made very pleasant. Ive 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 6s struggle to retain his privacy, sanity, and individuality against the array of psychological and physical methods the Village uses to break him. So does he ever escape? And does he ever find out who Number 1 is? Questions are a burden to others, the Village saying goes. Answers, a prison for oneself. Within this complete 17-episode set, all is revealed. Or is it? --Steve LandauAlso on the discs The 2009 Collectors Edition has the same video content as the 2006 40th Anniversary Edition, but does not include the booklet or paper map. The principal other difference is that the 10 discs are packaged in five Thinpaks instead of 10. For an improved video transfer and new supplemental features, try the 2009 Blu-ray release. --David HoriuchiProduct DescriptionSince its CBS debut in the summer of 1968, the masterful British TV series THE PRISONER has captivated American audiences.
