THE PRISONER

Considered to be of the best British series in the late 60s, The Prisoner impressed fans with its vibrant storytelling. The story, however, was not about prisoners who either needed a lawyer or a breakout plan.

Co-created by Patrick McGoohan in 1967, The Prisoner starts with a secret agent, known as Number Six, who found himself in a deserted and mysterious yet beautiful island and had to fight for survival against enigmatic enemies. It focused on themes such as paranoia and mistrust. The show also had a multitude of twists and turns in each episode. The Prisoner aired 17 episodes before it bid its goodbye in 1968.
