'The series was posing the question, "has one the right to tell a man what to think, how to behave, to coerce others? Has one the right to be an individual?"'

(Patrick McGoohan)

Despite this show having been made over 30 years ago it continues to remain a truly outstanding piece of television drama. This part of the site attempts to provide a little background on the series for those familiar with the show together with just enough detail for the un-initiated to get started - without giving too much away!!

The Prisoner was filmed at MGM Studios, Borehamwood and on location at Portmeirion, North Wales.
