Having had a few hectic days working
with ‘the Prisoner’ I decided to take a couple of days off in order to clear my
mind, and have a rummage in the archive. I was looking for a particular file
containing the following advertisements.
From April, through May and June 1996 ‘Lombard
Business Finance’ ran an advertising campaign with a number of different newspaper
advertisements using images and text from ‘the Prisoner.’ These appeared in ‘The
Times,’ ‘The Financial Times,’ and ‘The Daily Telegraph’ newspapers.
Over that three month period I managed to
collect all of them. I have trawled the World-Wide web and could find not trace
of them, either image or text.
There was a time when I used to collect
anything and everything connected with ‘the Prisoner’ I found in newspapers and
magazines. I don’t know if anyone recalls these advertisements, for all I know
I might be the only ‘Prisoner’ enthusiast with copies of them. I’ve certainly
not heard of anyone mentioning them before.
Be seeing you
