Book Reviews of The Prisoner: The Village Files
Book Review: Well-intentioned, but I would skip it
Summary: 2 Stars
The creator is obviously a sincere and observant fan of the series, and this effort deserved to be better than it turned out. Basically this is a rather thin book of drawings. Plan views of buildings, vehicles, pieces of equipment, signage, and whatever else the author could find. There's very little commentary or text, and there are some problems with what is there. For instance the author describes the large round doors in Number Six's home as being "Rover-friendly" but doesn't explain how Rover would enter through the narrow front door! He also gives credence to the story that the Prisoner is the John Drake character from an earlier series, even though McGoohan denies it.
I was a little surprised at the limited coverage of clothing. It may be that there just isn't enough information out there, but extremely detailed drawings, and perhaps even patterns would be useful for the truly fanatical folks who want to create their own Village-style clothing!
About the only thing in this that made me say "Ah, that's interesting!" was a diagram of the layout of all the different nameplates in front of the masked audience in the Fallout episode. It isn't really useful or vital, but I was curious at all the different groups listed--Anarchists, Old Folks, etc.
I can't recommend it for the money.
Summary of The Prisoner: The Village Files
n each episode of the classic 1960s British TV series, The Prisoner, Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) tried to escape from the bizarre, hi-tech complex known only as the Village. If only he?d had access to this book! For here, smuggled at great risk from Number 2?s Green Dome, are the Top Secret Village plans, blueprints and files. Detailed schematics of Village buildings, devices, vehicles and equipment; cutaway illustrations; Rover attack vectors; hidden camera placements; personnel lists and details of interrogation techniques ? it?s all here, along with a special file on the Village?s most prized prisoner: Number 6.A brilliantly conceived, beautifully designed book that no Prisoner fan will be able to escape having, this is the ultimate companion to the ultimate cult tv series!
