On September 29, 1967, in the UK, the TV show “The Prisoner” made its debut. Some sources report October 1 as its debut date: at that time, an episode of a show could be broadcast on different days in different regions of the nation, and this could be one of those cases.

“The Prisoner” is a unique and unrepeatable TV show for many reasons. Some of its elements have become iconic, such as the rover and even Portmeirion, the real village where the show was shot, along with its style. In addition to the remake, it had various influences and homages in other shows, and after 50 years, the portrait of the Village society is more topical than ever.
