Executive Producer and series writer Nicholas Briggs has confirmed today that post-production is well underway on The Prisoner – Volume 1: Big Finish’s new recreation of the cult classic series.

The trailer and cast for the five-disc boxset will be revealed on Tuesday the 29th of September – 48 years to the day the original series premiered.

Based on the classic ITV series, this new release follows a British secret agent, who after resigning finds himself with an imposed identity - “Number Six” - and that he's now imprisoned in ‘The Village’ - a bizarre community with a cheery veneer, but an underbelly of mystery and threat.

The authorities running this Village are intent on discovering why Number Six resigned – but it's a secret he steadfastly refuses to divulge. As the drama unfolds, the authorities, in the guise of the sinister Number Two, try ever more ingenious and aggressive means to bend Number Six to their will. All the while, Number Six is intent on two aims: to escape and to find out ‘Who is Number One?’.

You can pre-order this brand new set today from the Big Finish website. The release contains four one-hour episodes, a Behind-the-Scenes audio documentary and the CD version comes with a lavish colour booklet.

Be seeing you!
