KCIKSTARTE DFIND YOUR ORDER NUMBER SERIES

The lack of a general consensus from broadcasters on the episode order left fans to minutely pick through each and every episode for tiny clues as to when the episodes might happen in relation to one another (which sounds tedious, but for a certain class of fan, that's a just a fun weekend). Even later, the Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy) ran a PRISONER marathon in which they crafted their own order. Later, however, THE PRISONER was aired again in the US on PBS stations in a very different order. When the show debuted in the US, the order was similar to the UK order, with a notably removed (unaired) episode. Some quick background: The 17 episodes of the show debuted in 1967 in the UK but as it grew a following, fans soon noticed that the episodes were NOT broadcast in the order in which they were originally produced, which was (by some) presumed to be the order intended by the show's creator and star, Patrick McGoohan (though it should be noted that TV episodes might be produced out of order for various logistical reasons, and McGoohan himself never sanctioned an official order). But did you know that HOW you watch The Prisoner might impact what you think it means? Every Prisoner fan can agree that the show is fundamentally a statement about the loss of individuality in an increasingly mechanized world but in terms of the details of what's going on ( Who is Number 1 really? Which side runs the Village? Is Number 6 really John Drake? What is Rover exactly? Where is the Village? How much of the 'Girl Who Was Death' is true? What even happens in Fall Out? Etc…) you will get as many theories are there are viewers.
