No one wants to be a number, unless of course, you’re the number we pick as the winner for this contest. SFUniverse is giving away the brand new, totally re-mastered original The Prisoner series on Blu-ray. It comes to us courtesy of A&E and it’s a great tribute to a classic series. (Visit this site to see a comparison of the old film stock to the new remastered version.)
The 1968 series stars Patrick McGoohan as a man caught in a nightmare. After leaving his super-secret job, he is kidnapped and wakes up in The Village, a happy, Waldenesque town where people are numbers and no one is allowed to think for themselves. Under the watchful eye of Big Brother, Number Six, as he is labeled, must decode the secret of The Village so he can escape and get back to the real world. . . that is if the real world still exists to return to.
This Blu-ray features a newly remixed 5.1 surround sound track and hours of bonus footage including:
- ‘Don’t Knock Yourself Out’: a feature-length documentary chronicling the production
- Two Brand-New Featurettes: ‘The Pink Prisoner’ and ‘You Make Sure it Fits!’
- Newly restored original edit of ‘Arrival’ with an optional music-only soundtrack featuring Wilfred Josephs’ complete and abandoned score
- Ooriginal edit of ‘The Chimes of Big Ben’
- Production crew audio commentaries on seven episodes
- Archive textless material, including the title sequence with clean themes by Ron Grainer, Wilfred Josephs and Robert Farnon
- Image Archive with over 1200 stills
- Production Paperwork Archive, featuring scripts, call sheets and press releases (DVD-ROM Feature).
I love behind the scenes materials, so that DVD-Rom feature makes me giddy with joy.

well, the thirteen year-old boy in me wants to say #69
I’d be number 7
I would be an 8 — I’m shaped like it so I’m just going with it!
I would want to be number infinity, to add to the mystery and surrealism of the series!!
I would be 18 :) Its my kids birthdays added together and my anniversary day :)
#16 Thanks!
Number 1
If I were a number, I would be 10.
I would be the number 6
I would be number 6 because I love my man McGoohan.
I would go with lucky number 116.
If I were a number, I would want to be a Zero.
13 so people would stay away from me
If I were in the world of The Prisoner, I’d pick 3, since I’d be close to the knowledge and power, but not have the drawbacks of being number 2, thank you very much.
I’d be a “7″ because I like the number!
I would be #12! It’s my ‘lucky’ number!
I’d be 13 so that I could dispel all those superstitions about it being unlucky.
#1 because it’s the best
I would be #14 because it’s my favorite number.
always liked 13, under rated and under appreaciated
