Articles, features, full page "Prisoner" photos and centre spreads appear in each edition. Below are the most recent covers which are followed by the Sample Articles section:

What's it All About?!

One of the key ingredients in those who admire 'The Prisoner', is to ask the above question. From the very founding of 'Six of One', there has been much discussion and debate amongst members. Of course, one of the great joys of this series is its ambiguous nature, so allowing for a wide array of interpretations. It is generally agreed that there is no one single 'right' answer. Over the decades our various periodicals, in addition to interviews with those involved in the making of this series, news, reviews, etc., there have been countless articles, sometimes resulting in long-running discussions, as members submit their interpretations and reasoning on various aspects and topics that comprise McGoohan's personal project. Here we reproduce a selection of them.

On this page you will find links to a collection of articles penned by Society founding member David Barrie. These articles were originally published in society magazines between 1994 and 2018 and appeared across a range of publications including In the Village, Six4Two, and Orange Alert. Due to the lack of original print material and unavailbility of "electronic" copies, the on-screen quality may not be perfect, but we hope that you will nevertheless find them illuminating. 

Each article is listed by title (which is the link to the document), summary and where it was originally published. Note that some articles included single and double page images which have not been reproduced and that some of the content has been reformatted for ease of reading.
