The Thing About The Prisoner

    Is that although each episode of 'the Prisoner' is part of a series, each episode is also a story in it's own right, and can be screened so. Apart from 'Arrival, ' Once Upon A Time,' and 'Fall Out' each of the remaining 14 episodes can be screened in any order one likes, and no continuity between the episodes is lost, because there isn't any. Even 'The General could be screened before 'A B and C' and nothing would be lost to the series! Because each episode, although being part of a series, is a story in its own right and easily stands alone.

  1. Hello David,
    in a way it seems as if The Prisoner (partly) is based on missing links. And we know what happens if they are put together.

    Best wishes,

    1. Hello Jana,

      That's very good thinking. I had not thought of the Prisoner being partly based on missing links, having concentrated on the missing jigsaw pieces, but it all amounts to the same thing in the end........BANG!

      Very kind regards
