Available to download from January 6th 2016, The Prisoner: Volume 1 reimagines the highly influential 1967-68 ITV series as a bold new audio production. Written and directed by Big Finish Executive Producer Nicholas Briggs, the series stars Mark Elstob as Number Six, a former spy imprisoned in the mysterious 'Village', in a role made famous by original series star Patrick McGoohan.

‘This extract is just over 38 minutes in duration,’ explain Nick. ‘It starts about 11 minutes into the action, when Number Six wakes up, and ends at just over 50 minutes into this 78 minute first episode, Departure and Arrival, leaving you with over 39 minutes of this episode to listen to if you buy the box set. It’s a sort of extended teaser to whet your appetite.’

In this special half-hour introduction, you can hear Number Six arriving in the village, pitting his wits against the scheming Number Two (John Standing) and encountering the terrifying Rover.
