An unnerving image of Patrick McGoohan from the iconic 1960s television drama 'The Prisoner'. The Prisoner is a 1967 UK allegorical science fiction television series starring Patrick McGoohan. It follows a 1960s (contemporary) Englishman who, after abruptly resigning from his position as a top-level government agent, is held captive in a small, colourful village by unknown people who are concerned about his resignation. Each episode typically features the imprisoned former agent, labelled 'Number Six' by his captors who refuse to use names, failing to escape 'the Village', but resisting the interrogation and brainwashing attempts by his captors.
