The Original Prisoner Series

[rsabian]

Hi, I have never seen anyone with a prop or costume from the 60s TV show. It's surprising given its cult status. Anyone know of any, would love that.
Thanks,

There was a programme on UK TV called 'Collectors Lot' there was a guy on that with some original items. A cape and a brolly I believe were two of the pieces he owned.

Be nice to see some but I doubt few have survived

The only ones I've seen are a few badges they have on display in the Prisoner shop in Portmerion. McGoohan probably did a Kubrick on everything :facepalm

That's too bad. Would love to see a Number 6 jacket in the Portmeiron shop!

BTW what did Kubrick do? Destroy everything?

 

[John Hart]

The costumes were based on the Mill Hill School sport uniforms.

 

[Apollo]

From his Films?

Pretty much

I once saw one on Bonhams website in a past auction while searching for Doctor Who costumes. The description said the jacket is dark brown and not black. Couldn't say if it was genuine or not. Some of the Who costumes were laughably fake but that is not to say The Prisoner ones were, Bonhams just sell what they are given whether it is good or bad.

Curious where the car ended up.
