Prisoner inspired band, 'Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling', has released their very first music video for the song 'Episode 1 - Arrival'.
It is a shot-for-shot recreation of the opening sequence of The Prisoner. The project took 11 days of shooting and nearly 2 years of planning to create. It was shot all over Boston and New England with an eye to replicate the London/Wales/1960s landscape of the original.
Lead singer/drummer Sophia Cacciola took on the enormous role of Number 6 - see the classic Lotus 7 replica racing around downtown Boston as the story of the unnamed protagonist unfolds as she angrily resigns from her intelligence position only to find that she can’t get away quickly enough to avoid being gassed and chased by a giant white ball.







The Prisoner screening planned for the Prince Charles Cinema in central London on Saturday 26th September 2009 has been cancelled. 
The only home entertainment edition of the series to be officially endorsed by McGoohan himself and based on the version of the standard definition DVD which won Best TV DVD at the Home Entertainment Awards in 2008, THE PRISONER THE COMPLETE SERIES BLU-RAY is thought-provoking, revelatory and just plain cool.
Christopher Nolan has given up all plans of directing a film based on The Prisoner.
Patrick McGoohan's obsessive nature made The Prisoner the all-time classic it has become.
As well as The Prisoner, he also won two Emmys for detective drama Columbo, playing different characters, with the first coming in 1974 and the other 16 years later. More recently, McGoohan appeared as King Edward Longshanks in the 1995 Mel Gibson film Braveheart.
In the lead up to the showing of the all new Prisoner series, AMC are making the classic original 60's show available to watch online - all 17 episodes for free.
