Absolutely! (Can you say "mind fawk?) I plan to buy the episodes sometime down the road.
As an aside - McGoohan was also in an earlier spy series called "Secret Agent". I've read that "The Prisoner" is considered the sequel to it. Although I've never seen the individual episodes of "Secret Agent". When you read their outlines, the structure and ambiguity to the plotlines seems to verify that premise.
There is a movie edited out of "Secret Agent" called "Koroshi". It is probably worth seeing if you are a fan of "The Prisoner". You can easily see McGoohan as the agent that eventually ends up being smothered by a malevolent balloon. One funny thing about McGoohan, he plays the same smart, obnoxious prick over & over in his roles. Doesn't matter if it is the Scarecrow in the Disney film, Devereau in "Silver Streak", or Longshanks in "Braveheart", same guy! I've enjoyed his work over & over throughout the years. He is a fun prick to watch.
