I have watched The Prisoner many times since it first aired on American TV in the late 60s. It aired often on PBS during the 1970s and 80s and I purchased the complete A&E DVD set over 10 years ago. Besides the show itself, there is a plethora of background information done that I have watched, such as a Canadian TV interview of McGoohan in the 1970s (also referenced in this special) and many other specials that aired on UK TV such as the show's music and filming locations (which are now posted on Youtube). With all of the familiarity I have about the show, this 2017 special still blew me away when I watched it! The whole process of the multiple interviews is the best part (along with reflections from McGoohan's daughter), complete with original show footage in HDTV that is much clearer than my older DVD set. Besides that, the less you know before viewing, the more entertaining it will be. McGoohan is an eccentric (which is part of his charm). 10 stars for all The Prisoner show fans! Be seeing you. Number 6
