FIVE FOR SIX FOR ITV SIXTY
With
the 60th anniversary of ITV fast approaching, it has been no surprise
to have seen several mentions of 'The Prisoner' of late, most notably
finishing 5th in a Radio Times poll of the greatest ITV shows ('Auf
Wiedersehn Pet' the surprise winner), with the full list in the next
(26th-3rd October 2015) issue of the magazine.
To coincide with the anniversary, TUW's friends at Network have released as special DVD set (left) containing 60 of ITV's greatest shows ('The Prisoner' is of course included, in the form of the episode 'Checkmate') and some previously unreleased rarities.
Network also produced a wonderful trailer for the set, which can be viewed on youtube HERE, with 'The Prisoner' pride of place. Click HERE to visit Network's website!
