 Additional Information by je280    07/03/2014 

The first of a series of three boxed sets (each set holds three discs) covering all seventeen episodes of The Prisoner television series which was originally broadcast from the 29th September 1967 in the UK.

Episode List:

  • Arrival
  • The Chimes of Big Ben
  • A, B, & C
  • Free For All
  • The Schizoid Man
  • The General

The chapter breaks/stops (on the episodes that have them, not all do) are rather erratic. Most are within the first fifteen minutes or so of the episode with some breaks/stops often mid scene or sentence.

All the sets are beautifully presented. Within the box are three discs which come in standard card covers (different colours on each) & they are styled to look like the LP records seen for sale in the Village shop. Each set comes with a large 16 page colour book(let). Most of the text is in Japanese with numerous pictures. Most of the pictures are "production stills" which are very rarely seen. This set also includes a fairly large 'map of your village' which is around 12" x 24".

The transfers are very good from nice clean prints before they were digitally "cleaned-up" for the (later) DVD releases. Played side-by-side the sound from this laserdisc set does sound much fuller & more rich compared to the (2002) DVD issues (I have not seen the BluRay editions so cannot compare).

These laserdisc sets have been mentioned by Six of One (The Prisoner "fan club" or appreciation society) a number of times with many Prisoner "fans" having them high up on their collectable wishlists, some will probably be in the hands of owners with no LD players - all the sets are now quite hard to find.
