And yet the closing credits are normal 4:3 for 'the Prisoner,' but amended slightly so to fill wide-screen!<br /> I wasn't all that happy with the wide-screen effect when I began to watch 'Arrival,' in fact I attempted to change the picture to its normal 4:3 "letter Box" picture aspect, but found I couldn't. So I put up with it, and now I've grown used to it.<br /><br />Be seeing you<br />DavidDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-50751007848521308212017-03-18T02:51:43.195+00:002017-03-18T02:51:43.195+00:00It's being shown in CROPPED WIDESCREEN.

Many TV stations today have the first commerical break after a mere ten minutes, or sometimes it's after only five minutes!!<br /> What a thing to have done regarding the 25 minute episodes of 'Danger Man,' because that pre-credit sequence sets up each episode!<br /><br />Best regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-17933443708752230082017-03-13T11:42:31.799+00:002017-03-13T11:42:31.799+00:00The Prisoner, when first shown on German TV in 196...The Prisoner, when first shown on German TV in 1969, was uncut simply because it was on public TV (like the BBC), commercials only in the early evening, not-yet prime-time hours. But the half hour Danger Man episodes were exactly in that time slot. Their pre-credit sequences were all trimmed. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
