I have The Prisoner on DVD and noticed that the room where Number 6 passes out from the gas after he resigns is at least partly like the room where he awakens in the Village. The sofa and cushions, the wall color, the pictures, the curtains.

Has anyone ever seen this discussed. Is there some significance to it other than saving money on sets?

Hi Bmat,

I believe that was all part of the headtrip, trying to convince him nothing happened and that he'd always been in the Village.

How Cool, you have the DVDs. Have you tried watching them in different orders to see if things make better sense in some of the side plots?

Thanks, Sindatur. We are working our way through them in order just now. Although, we noticed that the two we just watched that had the same #2 would make more sense in the opposite order. #2 seemed very anxious in the first but not in the second of the pair. So it would seem that the one where he was getting desperate should have been first of the two.

That would be Leo McKern? I believe the one with the cage (or running through London's streets, sorry been too long since I've watched them) was meant to be the last episode when he actually did get free, although I don't remember what the twist was.

Colin Gordon

The blurb says that The General needs to precede The Schizoid Man, the next episode, because of another character.

But A,B, and C has a very nervous Colin Gordon in it and is placed before The General.

When I was like 4 years old there was some tv show that had a dramatic impac ton me. There was some guy in a padded room - the walls were like 4 foot sections. This man would be screaming, beating on the walls for attention etc. Occassionally someone would come in - a nurse with food, his wife being so sorry he's in there etc, and then they'd leave again.

Anyone know what this was?

It the DVD totally worth it? The show seems like its really a smart show -- wasn't it British? The BBC?
