WHO ARE THEY?

"The Village People: Nodge, Roo and Steve."

WHAT DO THEY WANT?

"Information."

HOW THE HECK DO WE GET RID OF THEM?

"Sorry."

For nearly fifty years now, Patrick McGoohan's classic television series THE PRISONER has entertained and perplexed millions of viewers around the world. Even today the show divides opinion as to whether it is a work of genius or a load of old rubbish. Over the decades since THE PRISONER's first appearance, many scholarly minds have tried to fathom this cult classic and failed. Now it's the turn of three idiots to try and work out what's going on.

THE CHIMES OF BIG BEN

A helicopter brings in a new arrival. This time there is a name: Nadia – and the prisoner finds himself with a new neighbour. They meet and her story is curiously akin to his own. All she has done is to resign. Now that the Prisoner has an ally, can they effect an escape?
