If you're organizing a Prisoner event, or are working on a new Prisoner book, or indeed are involved with anything connected with the series, please contact us! We will be happy to promote your project for FREE. The only condition is that such a project must not be connected to or financed by the disgraced fan club Six of One, for obvious reasons. The Unmutual website serves as a news source for the many independent and official projects in the world of The Prisoner and will not intentionally endorse Six of One as they are undeserving of promotion.
