The Prisoner Tv Series Description:
A British secret agent resigns from the service and is immediately rendered unconscious and kidnapped! He awakens in a resort village that is isolated from the rest of the world by mountains on one side and ocean on the other. Those in charge of the village interrogate him about why he decided to leave the service. They won't tell him why they want to know or who they work for and he won't co-operate with them unless they do so. If you like entertainment that keeps you in suspense and you never are sure of what's going on, this is one for you. There really never has been another program that could be compared to this tv show.

http://mapage.noos.fr/gc12/The Prisoner Trivia:
The village captors will not refer to Patrick McGoohan's character by his real name. They will only call him "Prisoner number 6".
The scenes from the tv series that were filmed indoors were done at Borehamwood studio, the same place that the classis "2001: A Space Odyssey" was filmed.
Due to the suspected hidden meanings in the tv series scripts, Universities have held courses about the show. Some Doctorial candidates even wrote their thesis on the subject. Patrick McGoohan has stated that there were no hidden meanings and that if anyone has figured out the meaning of the series, he would appreciate their explaining it to him!
The scenes of the exterior of the Village were actually the Hotel Portmeirion, an unusual resort in North Wales.
The Prisoner's sports car was a Lotus Seven Series II.
Patrick McGoohan wrote and directed several of the episodes himself. In fact, he wrote the final episode, "Fall Out", over one weekend!
The White Balloons that apprehended prisoners trying to escape were only mentioned by name once in episode #5 "The Schizoid Man". They were called "Rovers".
The Prisoner's address that is seen in the opening credits and in a few episodes was: 1 Buckingham Place.
Patrick McGoohan was the first choice to play "James Bond" in the movies. He turned down the role because he thought it was too demeaning to women.
