The Prisoner (The Shepherd's Boy edit)

Information... information... information: Basically this is a part of a longer video I've got planned for next month or April and I decided to edit this complicated bit early because I had a little bit of time. So Enjoy the demo!
The Prisoner is a 60s show about a secret agent trying to escape a surreal prison over and over again. I trust you can guess why I chose the music.

Hi Linkara.

[@AllofTimeandSpace]

Now I want a Prisoner reboot starring Peter Capaldi!

In the US where I grew up, they would show episodes on the Sci-Fi channel late at night in the summer, with an IRC thing where people would type comments and they’d appear in real-time at the bottom of the screen. People went nuts when Number 6 and Number 2 played that weird game with the trampoline.

Visited Portmeiron before I'd seen The Prisoner and looking forward to see it again with totally different eyes!

[@JeffMaziarz]

I loved the show. I saw it by purchasing it on VHS in the late 80's some time. However, of possible interest, I found out about the show having seen and purchased The Prisoner GURPS supplement at a hobby store. A beautifully done book, and as informed on the source material and well written as GURPS materials back in the day.

Oh man this is a nostalgia trip, loved "the prisoner " when i was younger, had it on VHS's ,but haven't watched it for like 15+ years xD

[@edbateyjr.517]

A very trippy show.

[@JustTouchCards]

I keep coming back to listen to this. So well edited it has me really caring about a show I've never watched, and for The Master

[@DiamandaHagan]

:) You should check it out sometime, it's fantastic.

[@daniledrake4137]

Wasn't sure at first but the editing beautifully matching the music score won me over. really nice work.

[@kylehuckins213]

I only watched this show because its my favorite Iron Maiden song. I chose well because this was a trip.

[@ReiSilver]

I had a childhood memory of that ball chasing after a guy. I thought for the longest time it was from a Bond movie

[@jessicabing6222]

Oh no! Attacked by a giant balloon! Too bad we weren't all issued something sharp when we showed up on this island! All kidding aside, this was a cool show.

[@Caernath]

I had heard of The Prisoner before, but never considered that it would something I would enjoy. This video has changed that. Kudos!

[@DiamandaHagan]

It's fantastic. Thanks!

[@Caernath]

@@DiamandaHagan My pleasure!

[@BlackKnightOfTheWind]

Show of hands, who here first heard of this show by way of an episode of Reboot that referenced it?

[@bradsheffield8191]

Genius show, brilliant video

[@ebwarg]

Now I want to rewatch this show, maybe preceded by a few Dangerman episodes…

[@sirjedisentinel]

I only watched this show for the first time last year. It became an instant favorite. (God, I wish it would be re-printed; I'd love to own it physically)

[@dovidoes3193]

Fanttastic!

[@MaxMercuryAnonymous]

Really does make me wish that McGoohan had been a Doctor. Maybe instead of Davison? Not because I don’t like 5, but like timeline-wise.

[@DiamandaHagan]

Honestly I think McGoohan is the best Master we never had and Leo McKern (especially in his number 2 mode) would have been a fantastic Doctor.

[@MaxMercuryAnonymous]

@@DiamandaHagan McGoohan as a Master would also be excellent, I hadn’t even considered that! When I first watched Chimes of Big Ben and saw McKern as Number 2, it honestly gave me a vague feeling of what Brian Blessed and Tom Baker’s Tuvix Doctor would’ve been like and I adored it.

[@katherineperrin4817]

This video is amazing and it's really making me want to watch The Prisoner now.

[@DiamandaHagan]

You should, it's a great time!

[@DiamandaHagan]

Did you see the Headcanon Fodder video too? It might give you more/ less reason to watch it lol.

[@katherineperrin4817]

@@DiamandaHagan I did watch that video, which was also amazing!

[@DiamandaHagan]

@@katherineperrin4817 Glad you enjoyed it! And if you watch the Prisoner, I hope you enjoy it as much.

[@leannerose6181]

Beautiful

[@BOTHthosearetaken]

This is fantastic

[@jeffmaesar]

When i grew up in the 80's i heard so much about this show, it almost had a mystic surrounding it , I still want to watch it though, and i can't imagine a world where a potential reboot has the same feel and following cult.

[@sirjedisentinel]

They did try a remake. ..."not good" is putting it mildly

[@jeffmaesar]

@@sirjedisentinel i heard rumor, but knowing how remake of old show often fail and fall flat ^^ i m not surprised.

[@sirjedisentinel]

@@jeffmaesar well for one thing, the remake stars Jim Caveizel as Number 6. So that didn't age well. The other thing is, The Prisoner us a show heavy in symbolism & allegory. Everything that happens is irrelevant because of what the events mean. The remake tries to take it literally

[@jeffmaesar]

@@sirjedisentinel not to mention it was during the cold war.
