A show that I would like to watch again is "The Prisoner". It was a wonderfully creative show of science fiction that starred Patrick McGoohan. Here is a bit of information about the program:
"The Prisoner is a 17-episode British television series
first broadcast in Canada beginning on 6 September 1967, then in the
United Kingdom on 29 September 1967, and in the United States on 1 June
1968. It stars and was co-created by Patrick McGoohan, and combines spy fiction with elements of science fiction, allegory and psychological drama.
The series follows a British former secret agent who is abducted and
imprisoned in a mysterious coastal village resort, where his captors try
to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. Although the show
was sold as a thriller in the mould of the previous series starring
McGoohan, Danger Man (1960–68; retitled as Secret Agent in the US), its combination of 1960s countercultural themes and surrealistic setting had a far-reaching influence on science fiction and fantasy TV programming, and on narrative popular culture in general."
I have been looking around to try to buy the series of DVD, but it appears to be available as a complete set only in non US compatible DVD formats. I have been looking to see if it would be on MeTV or other similar channels to no avail either.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
You might have to get the PAL versions and then use your computer to convert them to MP4 format, then burn a DVD with that. Most DVD players today can play digital formats like MP4, MKV, etc. Check your user manual.
ReplyDeleteI haven't come across it on any of the streaming sites that I have looked at: Netflix, Amazon Prim, Acorn or Brit Box.
ReplyDeleteI have written a post in response to your query about my equipment. I expect there will be another installment.

There was another post awhile ago involving a pipe and tobacco that I thought you might have appreciated. The main tobacco shown was of the chewing variety but there was a pipe.
