Guest Beeks Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 No idea...great series though...I used to live just down the road from The Portmerion Hotel in Penrhyndeudraeth where it was predominantly filmed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Smith Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Virtually all of the incidental music was by Ron Grainer, none was commercially availble at the time (1967), the Prisoner fan club has released some on a small scale since 1977, which episode was it by the way?

Be Seeing You I was watching it! First time I've seen The Prisoner for ages..........I think it was the last of the series as I checked on the info button. As for the end music, I'd fallen asleep by then...... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The fact that you once lived in Penrhyndeudraeth explains everything!

Agent45 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have an LP and three CDs of music from the series. If you can tell us what episode it was, I or someone else here should be able to identify it very quickly. I'll see where I put those CDs. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

frankc Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I loved this show, unfortunately the ending was a real anti climax let down, which is generally the way with this type of cult classic, the reason they become cult classics is the suspense of waiting to see what's it's all about.....anyone watching 'Lost' will probably feel the same way when it finishes.

Ralf Mehnert Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 At one time it would've been a rather large plastic ball ... btw: The `large plastic ball` called `ROVER`... even this name was never mentioned in the whole show. If you need `Informations` about the track, ask Number 2 or go to: www.theprisonerappreciationsociety.com (complete bunch of nerds who spend their time with useless facts about a 40 year old T.V. show...

Guest Richard Bergman Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Don't recall the track , but would love to hear it. I think the series can be seen as a work of prophecy. The various dangers we now see of increasing surveillance, of the misuse of technology, medicine and drugs, and of the loss of individuality are contemporary and relevant ones as we've reached the noughties.

If anyone wants a 'romantic' break with decent food, then I'd recommend booking a couple of days (it ain't cheap though). Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

If anyone wants a 'romantic' break with decent food, then I'd recommend booking a couple of days (it ain't cheap though). yes, absolutely fabulous. as soon as the day visitors left the village we took a walk around and i felt like a little kid locked up in a toy shop, everything you've only seen on TV before real! food was pretty decent as well, think i had welsh beef with some mediterranean sauce for main course. can't remember starters or dessert but everything was delicious. can't remember which room we stayed in, it was called "bridge room" or "bridge view room" or something like that. above an arch a few meters away from the prisoner shop. non-stop prisoner serious on the telly. though it did cost us about 250 GBP for one night incl. dinner!

pikeys dog Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 we had two nights in the Watch room... and it cost about the same per night. If your lucky though you can turn up on spec and get the rooms that haven't been booked for a lot less - no choice of room or evening meal included though.
