The Prisoner.

[PAGEToap44]

Alright, I've just watched an episode of the Prisoner and I'm completely confused. WTF is it all about? One minute it's a courtroom/science lab/ secret government facility then everyone is running away singing and then they're in a trailer that's decorated like the interior of a house? If anyone knows about this TV show please do give your knowledgable insight.

EDIT* Here, this is what I saw:

If it helps I think it was known as 'Prisoner: Cell Block H' in the UK and possibly the US...

I loved that show. It's the original "weird shit going down on an island" show, and it's way better than our modern one. I liked the one where he tried to escape in a shipping crate, found himself back in "England", but the clock chimes were wrong, so he tore open the blinds, and saw that he was back on the island.

Short answer is this - UK government agent quits, finds himself on a wierd-ass island where the UK government tries convoluted tricks to get him to tell them why. There's an obvious hole in the idea once you've watched a few episodes, but I like it for the weirdness

Anyone who has watched the last episode of this show will know it was mental beyond compare. Im talking David Lynch style here. Like when you find out who No 1 is. Its just...bizarre.
