iTunes Store adds The Prisoner (Classic)

The iTunes Store has added the classic episodes of The Prisoner. This version should not be confused with the new version that is beginning it's run on American Movie Classics (iTunes link).

"I am not a number. I'm a free man!"

Originally broadcast in 1967, the series is about a british secret agent who is kidnapped after resigning, and is relocated to The Village, an island town that really exists (Portmeirion). He is assigned and referred to only as "Number Six". The plots involve his attempts to find out who "Number One" is and getting off the island.

The transfer appears about the same as the ripped copies of my A&E set. But at least there is a definitive order to these. There has always been an ongoing controversy about the episode order, even amongst the original director and Patrick McGoohan.

The description says restored and digitally remastered, but they didn't look different than the DVDs I have. I wonder if they were as well.

Regardless, excellent series, one of my absolute favorite classic television guilty pleasures. Be seeing you.
