What's It All About? The Prisoner: Question Everything

We are delighted to announce the publication of what could be considered the definitive book about the iconic television series, 'The Prisoner', to be launched at the Six of One festival in April 2026, 

Written by David Barrie, well known to many as one of the founders and instigators of Six of One The Prisoner Appreciation Association, this book will take you through every episode, behind the scenes, discussions and interviews with writers and directors and of course, a look at the man behind the series, Patrick McGoohan.
