About the bicycle as a symbol: In the early 20th century there was a fascist Italian art movement that loved violence and speed called Futurism. The bicycle was feature in some of their work since the wheel was one of its most important symbols "We want to sing the man at the wheel, the ideal axis of which crosses the earth, itself hurled along its orbit." which matches nicely with the alternate end titles. Some other highlights from the manifesto are: "We want to glorify war - the only cure for the world - militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman." and "We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice."

This is a great observation. I'd also add that the Futurists have a direct link to the historical formation and ideology of Italy's fascist party. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti wrote both the Manifesto of Futurism (1909) and Fascist Manifesto (1919) which went on to be influential on the policy of Mussolini's government. Today to make allusions to Futurist ideology may seem too farfetched or esoteric, at the time much closer to WW2 they were probably more familiar with the link between Futurism and fascism, making your reading more plausible.

I really think, personally, the Prisoner says why he retired in the final episode to the committee when they're interrupting him, and it breaks him. He goes quiet immediately and his face falls so hard, and the rest of the episode he's lost it, from seeing number one to the shoot out. I think it finally broke him, and his reward for compliance is getting to go 'home', but of course London is just the village, society is the village. The Prisoner lost. I love the last episode so much because it feels heartbreaking to me, that shift in McGoohen's face after he yells something we can't hear as everyone shouts is the shift of someone going from breaking to broken. Especially because the President calls for silence like immediately afterwards.

If you're talking about Six attempting to speak before the masked people in Fall Out, he talks about the British pound being devalued. This actually had happened at the time and had a major effect on the world economy. It seemed like an odd subject, but McGoohan was good in math and had managed a bank early in his career. McGoohan does not say what event, program, or information caused him to resign. He says he knew too much but not what he knew. That what the Village wanted.

I first encountered The Prisoner in the 90s on the early internet. And I read full plot descriptions of every episode, because that was the only way you had to experience old TV before dvds. I thought it sounded so incredibly cool. Eventually, once dvds were a thing, I attempted to watch it but I always got lost midway through the series and couldn't force my way through. Still to this day, despite KNOWING about the ending, I've never seen it. So thanks for making me feel a little more informed about this show I should love, but in practice am not wild about when actually watching.

One of the weirdest things about this show is the village it’s filmed in, portmeirion in north Wales. I was staying near there and spotted it from the other side of the river and from that moment to finding and visiting it till leaving portmeirion I felt like I was in a dream and this was my first introduction to the prisoner. It’s like a Mediterranean dreamscape cult-theme park. Everything was so out of place from the obvious architecture and no one living there to the more subtle way everyone working in the shops/cafes smiled like they had a gun to their head.

Mr. Vader you missed some incredibly niche and probably unintentional reference to a cowboy movie! 1:05:00 High Noon is a western featuring "Do not forsake me o my darlin'" in its theme song (and the song's title). High Noon focuses on a retired sheriff who has disowned violence and retired after marrying a Quaker, but when a band of criminals he imprisoned returns to kill him and ransack the town he has to go back on his promise. The entirety of the town is a web of twisted allegiances, where everyone seems out to get the sheriff, and no one ends up helping him. Not even his wife, who abandons him until the last 5 minutes of the film. All this even though the sheriff rid the town of crime in the first place. It heavily deals with themes of non-violence and complicit actors in violence, as well as the ineffectiveness of violence , only making both the protagonist and antagonist him grow more resentful. Even a retired older sheriff, the main character predecessor, exists solely to disown violence and the criminal justice system. I think the two pieces have a lot in common, and whether intentional or not it is an incredibly fascination decision to name episode 13 after the movie. Even more fascinating, episode 14 is cowboy themed!

I really loved this video! I don't usually watch long form videos and I knew literally nothing about the subject, but I watched this in one sitting and really enjoyed it. Its clear u were passionate about it and wanted to make it, and it shows because its awesome 👍 I loved what you were saying at the end about what we're willing to sacrifice to be remembered, it feels like people need to either completely give up their individuality for easy marketability, or maintain their individuality and ideals at the cost of snubbing everybody else. I didn't even necessarily disagree with Mcgoohan's adherence to his ideals but it sucks that so many people got screwed over.

My biggest revelation when watching this was that, McGoohan was the inspiration for the facial features of Thomas Lennon, Andy Daly, and Mark Hamil.

I got in to The Prisoner after I read that the Wolverine origin comic Weapon X took a lot from the series. Logan even drives a Lotus 7 in the first issue right before he's captured
