The Prisoner: Ahead of its Time and Continually Relevant - The Outhouse Lounge

The Prisoner is considered by many one of the most insightful and profound television series in entertainment history.
Led by the writing, direction and acting of Patrick McGoohan, #ThePrisoner deeply and allegorically explored several themes including #individuality, government control, #surveillance, manipulation, rebellion, conformity, sense of self and personal resilience. The shows were intriguing and entertaining on several levels, thus we are looking back at this classic series on The Outhouse Lounge with:
Jane Merrow -- Actress. She played Allison on "The Schizoid Man" episode of The Prisoner. In addition to her long list of credits, Jane is working on a new film titled "ANDY," focusing on Artificial Intelligence
Tony Shaffer - Former Intelligence Officer/Special Ops, NY Times Best Selling Author and perhaps a Real Life Danger Man and Number Six
Dictor Von Doomcock - Noted Supervillain, Future Ruler of Earth who broadcasts from the Center of the Earth on his Youtube Channel: @overlorddvdsbrother2063    / @overlorddvd
