This infernal series caused me to buy two Lotus 7s and a Caterham HPC during the last 40 years. I think, at last, I may have got it out of my system. But what a series. Top rate actors, beautiful Portmerion , and a storyline beyond comprehension. Absolutely fabulous !! Well done the late Mr McGoohan,
No "probably" about it. It *was* the best show ever made. I'm 67 and was 16 when it came out. It sent a shiver down my spine as a teenager and it still sends a shiver down my spine. Although Patrick McGoohan said that 17 episodes were enough, I can't help feeling that they could have engaged other scriptwriters and extended the series out to 50 episodes. I never had the impression that the well had ever "gone dry" during its presentation.
Ian Rivlin Wrong, McGoohan said that his concept was for a seven episode serial or mini-series, and that they only added 10 more episodes at the demand of Lee Grade so he could sell the program to CBS. Those extra 10 episodes are weaker “stretching outs” of the serial, and 50 episodes is far beyond McGoohan’s concept of patience, he was already dead tired of making too many Danger Man episodes.
I first saw the series when it played in America in the 60s. I introduced it to a friend 25 years ago who was astounded by its concepts. Here it is nearly 50 years after its debut and we're all still baffled. Patrick would be pleased.
Parody?...a love letter to and from everyone who ever dreamed of being close to genius of Patrick McGoohan and the folks who made this fabulous show. Well done!
As an ardent fan of The Prisoner, I find this clip elegant and satisfying! It is a perfect culminating sequence to arguably the most brilliant TV series ever made. Thank you for sharing this exquisite sequence!!
Of course, at the end, he lives in unit #1 and the door opens and closes like all the doors in the Village, indicating that he hasn't escaped at all and the power of the surveillance state continues...
More specifically McGoohan said that the door opening represented the prisoner returning to the village because there was no possible escape at all. Futility being the constant.
OMG! Swinging London in the perfect year 1967!! I was a teen then, a complete Anglophile, and still am. Despite my hopes I never got to go there, but I will NOT give up!
I like the British Bluestack rocket at the end , it was an actual rocket Aussie and British space programme that they launched at woomera Australia , you can tell that Britain was great then
For a short time during the 1970s I use to see ANGELO MUSCAT almost every week at CLUB ROW market in LONDON'S Bethnal Green E1, He was always very polite, But also a very private man.
This show was very interpretative so there is a lot of debate about what this episode even means. I think it means he never escaped, because there is no escape. When I say escape it could mean physically and or mentally. The Village has no walls, because the world is the village is the premise of this scene. To me, the hint to this is the fact his the door made that remote control actuating sound to his "own home". This suggests he either finally broke and is living a mental delusion thinking he finally escape, or his wardens are a much bigger secret society with far reaching control and influence. I sort of think this latter one is the message it is trying to tell. All through out the series everything is questionably real. Everything you see may be part of the facade of the village or the affects of his interrogation. We don't even know for sure who are inmates and who are agents/guards. For all we know, the only prisoner is #6 himself. For all we know the village isn't real and just the hallucination or a mental affect of psychological torture and interrogation. The Prisoner posed the question of the Matrix first.
A lot of N.W.O. references in the Village back in 1967....Patrick and the rest of the crew were great.The guest stars were perfect. RIP Patrick...You are dearly missed.
Old enough to remember when it originally aired in the U.S.- as the summer replacement for Jackie Gleason (talk about contrasts!). Reminds me how we used to listen intently to the Beatles albums, trying to discern the deep hidden meaning they (obviously) put in all their songs. McGoohan was brilliant in ending the series this way- if he done a straightforward conventional ending like George Markstein advocated, the result would have disappointed most of the viewers.
One of the few television series that had a carefully preplanned ending.The showrunners knew at the time that the premise had a finite amount of staying power.Hollywood and the BBC are afraid to take risks. Instead they bleed good tv show bone dry!!
Now he is free to roam around inside the game under his own will. But he is still inside the game and always will be. That seems to be the best any of us can hope for: to not be subject to the manipulation of the gamesters.
@scidriver As someone who a) loves psychedelic drugs, and b) loves the Prisoner, nope. In fact, when I usually hear "the people who made this must've been on drugs!" I can pretty much take that as confirmation that it was made sober. Patrick McGoohan wouldn't even kiss a woman who wasn't his wife on screen, much less take an illegal substance. The fact that this is dead sober McGoohan's way to end the series makes it all the more remarkable IMO.
It Means What It Is............... Surreal, bizzare, crazy, weird, silly, scary, fantastic and many more descriptions for best tv series ever. WHY ? So many questions, so many answers............Be seeing you
#48 had his own way of coping-and he managed to survive. #6 got back to his own home-and was willing to put the past behind him. He had survived an amazing experience-and saw no reason to investigate any further. he got into his car...and the series ended the way it began,with him in his driving down the street.
#48's prison was a juvenile mind of having fun and always taking instead of providing, like an infant.#2's prison was a mature mind of reason, being able to provide for himself, but lacking a peace of mind and working for the money instead of having money work for him.#6's prison was neither #2's nor #48's, yet he could have fun like #48 (just independently with his own car) and he could work and reason like #2 (just symbolically through TV series fame); #6's resignation in the show was like a "retirement" from the other prisons represented by #48 and #2, but he's still in the overall societal "prison" and still beholden to its authorities.I think the loyal butler represents fame.
I scroll through all these comments and not one mention of the large black vehicle that passes by Number 6 just before he drives away from his home! Is it or is it not the same vehicle that gasses him at the beginning of every episode and is it the same nefarious person in the black top hat who actually inserts the gas cartridge in his door lock?
Brexit was an attempted escape...only to realize that it wasn't. Electing Trump in the US, was the same response and effect. Who knew behind Trump's mask was the Chimp! The entire US is now being held Prisoner.
The door opens that way because the citizens of London were also in a village, it was the way McGoohan wanted to show how the govement had control over the population in the same way that the people running the village had over Number Six. The series ended in the same way it started (with "The Prisoner" driving his car) because for every single citizen that dies and finnaly EARNS his freedom, there is another who will replace him. There is no REAL freedom at all, and villages existed everywere in every industrialized nation. But who REALLY made the citizens prisoners of those "villages", I won't spoil it for you, but suffice to say that, the govement indeed created the villages, but they weren't the ones who turned the citizens into prisoners ;)
@@PointReflex so now irl theres a cabal called the WEF with plans to usher in a great reset with a social credit system and more surveillance...even Klaus said they want to read citizens minds by "hacking" humans. Yeah. This was prescient.
To those who think that Patrick Mc Goohan has contributed to ''The Prisoner'' for mere entertainment, they obviously haven't heard the interviews he has given afterward. He actually invited people to debate and give their opinions. He wanted some sort of reflexion and questionning. I would like to share a point of view. In the final episode ''Fall out' , the scene at @sec reveals that number ONE is no one else than himself under the mask of a monkey! Therefore the only plausible conclusion, is that all this madness is the on-going game played in the mind of the prisoner from which everyone is sick in the Village. The fact that he escape at the end doesn't make him a free man. He just comes out of the village to get himself lost again in the more sophisticated matrix of the city of London. When under psychic torture by number 2, under the question why have you resigned? he finally answers : '' for peace of mind''. He is not believed by number 2 but it a simple and honest answer. At a conscious level, the mind wants to reach peace but can't reach it by its own terms. I think That Mr. Mc Goohan would have agreed with this statement. There was no serials who got that far in getting at the root of our human existence than the prisoner. What's next ? For those who can imagine another episode, The peace of mind is exactly what is achieved in the film ''Revolver'' (2007) with Jason Statham that you can see on you tube. It is the logical expansion of the prisoner. If you have love the 17th episode of the prisoner you will enjoy this movie.
One question that isn't asked is how did Leo McKern change his clothes, or where did he change them, as in the last scene he is totally dressed for business at Parliament--so that substantiates that the people who wanted to know No. 6's thoughts were his own people, as it was revealed in the episode, "The Chimes of Big Ben"
A few folks asking after September Ballad in the comments, but can anyone kindly tell me the name of the tune that starts around 5:10, please, or what I should be googling for?
OK, I see MaGoohan and the butler get on the 59 bus. How close does it get to Trafalgar Square, where they stopped the truck, and where Leo McKearn goes? The Parliament's Westminster Palace, Peer Entrance, otherwise known as House of LORDS. But maybe the 59 bus used to get closer. Of course, we don't know whether No. 6 and Butler have just taken a previous bus to transfer to the 59, since we simply see them running toward it (currently, the 59 seems to pick up at Travis Square, but I don't know where that stop is at. And where is No. 6's house at?
Looking past the allegorical themes, I thought this sequence was rather poignant and gave a satisfying conclusion to the show (even with the implication that 6 is not entirely free).
In Ontario Canada, I asked for the custom license plate KAR120C. The clerk laughed and said they get that request like 10 times a year. At EVERY DMV office!
I'll quote a guy who commented and explained the whole serie who i agree with (and he's damn hilarious, so u can take this serie easy :D) "We finally discover that The Prisoner is, in fact, a love story. It's about the love that dare not speak its name - the love between man and Enigmatic Fat Midget. They run off together, hand-in-hand. Off for another caning session, no doubt."
I see they changed the ending music. In the original series ending, they used All You Need Is Love by the Beatles for the background music, but I guess they couldn't keep it in for legal reasons.....
At the beginning of the episode, when No. 6 first walks in, he sees a jukebox, and it can be heard playing. Also, it's been a while since I've seen it, but I think when they all first start to riot with their guns towards the end of the episode, it's played again
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Just found the clip you're looking for. The song plays towards the end of the video :) Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/9aaR9tqKURs/w-d-xo.html
Is the final shot meant to mean that although No. 6 has escaped The Village, he's effectively right back where he started and thinking he's going to walk away from it all (as he did in resigning) only for No. 6 to end up trapped in some wider village-like society? Best I can come up with.
I just discovered through watching this again, that I have a false memory, a memory that doesn't fit with this ending. In my memory of it, he goes back to his apartment, and, the gate closes all by itself, NOT that he's speeding out on a flat space. I guess I confused the butler's place with HIS place, and, have it as a gate, instead of a door. Strange, and, kind of disturbing. What OTHER false memories do I have?
I’m pretty sure that in one version of this (maybe the one that originally aired), the final shot was of the prison bars closing across the screen as they had done at the end of previous episodes (to indicate that number 6 was still a prisoner?). Can anyone confirm this?
This series was fascinating for about three episodes. Then it just fell apart, depending on nonsensical circumstances and intentionally ambiguous events.
@mastermetaldice; It's ALWAYS nice when someone likes a 'cult' series, esp. The Prisoner, it's ALSO nice when someone knows the character's names as well. The 'big white balloon' is named 'Rover,' and WHAT Rover 'is,' is never said (wen N° 6 asks - in the 1st episode,' he's told 'that would be telling). Just 'cos Rover appears similar to a balloon doesn't mean it is - as everything in the series demonstrates.
This is a big ask - but can someone please list the songs that are used in this segement (apart from dem bones I mean) ?? Or if you could just point me in the right direction. I´m particularly curious about the song that starts playing at 3.05 ??
McGoohan said it is "an ironic symbol of progress." The operators of The Village adopted the quaint, harmless high-wheel bicycle to make The Village seem quaint, harmless, and recreational, when in fact it's completely instrumented, high-tech, and sinister.
Al final no supimos porqué renunció, que información le querían sacar, quien era quien en la villa, a que gobierno respondían, donde quedaba realmente... Muchas preguntas sin respuesta.

Nice to see Parliament without fencing, armed guards and hostile vehicle mitigation.
The greatest TV show ever made.
To this day, also with what Big Finish could build upon, The Prisoner still has a great deal to say on what true freedom really means.

When they filmed this in London , Beatles were on top of the charts. London looks like a nice big town compared to today.
Of course, at the end, he lives in unit #1 and the door opens and closes like all the doors in the Village, indicating that he hasn't escaped at all and the power of the surveillance state continues...
This is confirmed by McGoohan himself. Also in "I am (not) a Number: Decoding the Prisoner".
What I understood, as a final message, is that the world is a prison, and that we are all prisoners, (including the guards).
More specifically McGoohan said that the door opening represented the prisoner returning to the village because there was no possible escape at all. Futility being the constant.
The Prisoner: "Who is Number One?"
Number Two: "You are, Number Six."
It's right in the first episode!!

To me, the ending symbolizes two things for me, first, he never escaped and is still a prisoner and number 1 may have been the butler.
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.

Nope. The opening door represented number 6 never escaping and returning yet again to the village. McGoohan stated it in interviews.

I just discovered through watching this again, that I have a false memory, a memory that doesn't fit with this ending. In my memory of it, he goes back to his apartment, and, the gate closes all by itself, NOT that he's speeding out on a flat space. I guess I confused the butler's place with HIS place, and, have it as a gate, instead of a door. Strange, and, kind of disturbing. What OTHER false memories do I have?
Do you want to know why?
Mandela effect,look at the pen of the men in black😎
Not false memories,not well erased🤷♀️👀.

Are you living in a computer program?✌
Anybody notice that no.6’s house was number 1
I’m pretty sure that in one version of this (maybe the one that originally aired), the final shot was of the prison bars closing across the screen as they had done at the end of previous episodes (to indicate that number 6 was still a prisoner?). Can anyone confirm this?
No one escaped the Village, instead of the bars slamming, the word Prisoner at the end of the finale indicates we are all imprisoned in a society

Where was the commentary?
This series was fascinating for about three episodes. Then it just fell apart, depending on nonsensical circumstances and intentionally ambiguous events.
Rover loves us very very much...very very much. :-)
What commentary?
what is the name of that tune that is heard around 3:10
especially if you listen to slayer im gonna remake this film eaven if its short
@mastermetaldice; It's ALWAYS nice when someone likes a 'cult' series, esp. The Prisoner, it's ALSO nice when someone knows the character's names as well.
The 'big white balloon' is named 'Rover,' and WHAT Rover 'is,' is never said (wen N° 6 asks - in the 1st episode,' he's told 'that would be telling).
Just 'cos Rover appears similar to a balloon doesn't mean it is - as everything in the series demonstrates.

Search on TH-cam for "The Prisoner - September Ballad (Fall Out)" for the music that starts at 3:05.
"SEPTEMBER BALLAD"--- PRELUDE AND PROMENADE----
Portmeirion so much smaller than the prisoner, soooo beautiful
This is a big ask - but can someone please list the songs that are used in this segement (apart from dem bones I mean) ?? Or if you could just point me in the right direction. I´m particularly curious about the song that starts playing at 3.05 ??
September Ballad
6:21 Allí vive en N* 1.
The village housed an ICBM?
What sort of truck and trailer was that?
Scammell with low-loader
I felt sorry for Rover.
0:43 Bust through the illuminati symbol! I think the pennyfarthing symbol represents the eternal CYCLE.
McGoohan said it is "an ironic symbol of progress." The operators of The Village adopted the quaint, harmless high-wheel bicycle to make The Village seem quaint, harmless, and recreational, when in fact it's completely instrumented, high-tech, and sinister.
The Bike is a Six....
I heard NO commentary! Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
The last ever episode
@ah1701
Search for "The Prisoner- Music From Fall Out" - that will give you one of the tunes.
Evil whale?

Can someone explain it all to me? 😅
Al final no supimos porqué renunció, que información le querían sacar, quien era quien en la villa, a que gobierno respondían, donde quedaba realmente... Muchas preguntas sin respuesta.
1:20-1:38 What in the hell?
