So we are to be treated to six behind the scenes previews of the making of "The Prisoner" I assume one every day up until the release date.Found the first one very interesting.Still on the fence at this point though!

Nice of Nick to ignore Terrahawks when saying they didn't get the rights to Gerry Anderson's stuff! Elstob, regardless of what the clip above says, is clearly doing his best McGoohan impression. There's really no way round it, they should just embrace it, I think and scrap the remakes for a potential Vol. 2.

I think he's got tunnel vision over it like he used to have over Dalek Empire, here's hoping the reviews are positive for the reviewer's sakes.

I think the reviews will be fine - BF are sticking so close to the classics that it's going to be "good" anyway surely. It's just whether or not that for anyone familiar enough with the series it does anything new, or for anyone new to the show, is it a better starting place than the actual TV show?

It's strange most of the comments I see on facebook are not from Big Finish fans but fans of the original Prisoner TV series who still think this is a TV remake and are upset about it. It's both amusing and sad to me.

A couple of trolls isn't a worry. As BF expand, it's going to be more prevalent so get used to it. A lot of stalwarts coming in for the 10DAs - John Banks, Beth Chalmers, Dan Starkey and Terry Molloy among others. ool news..but I'm not sure we need to be told it so often

I don't recall anything like this before in the run up to a new release. This is either a positive sign for future releases, or a sign of how much of a pet project this is. Which is pretty cool if it's the former, and the latter would imply that a lot of care and attention was put into the story.

I'm actually annoyed by all this marketing. I was on the fence about this release, but now I'm probably not going to get it. If they want me to get this so badly, than why is the download price so high? The only thing I've bought from Big Finish that was that expensive (or more) was the Phillip Hinchcliffe 4th Doctor set and I waited for that to go on sale. But I guess I'm not their target audience.

I think the video previews we have seen for The Prisoner will become more of the norm as BF expands and becomes more commercial. The River Song YouTube video is a good pointer.
I've ordered The Prisoner...I'll let you know what number (out of the 3000 sets) I get.

Mark, you are a Martyr for still posting these, knowing how you feel about it . I'm still struggling with this. I would probably buy the download but I don't think a £5 saving on the physical pack is worth it, but at the same time I don't really want the physical pack. I think the only thing I can really do is wait and hope the download appears in a sale for £25-£30 which I think (imho) is a more reasonable price for the download purchase. Cheers Tony

For me even the DL is too expensive for an entirely new range. Not saying I'd never spend that much on the offset but it would have to be a clear favorite.
I don't know when but of course this will eventually go on sale. I'll just wait for that.

Is it coming out soon or something? I've barely noticed any promotion.

I've posted this before, not being familiar with the original series I found it on Youtube and watched it and it just didn't click with me. I've listened to the trailers for BF's version and it isn't grabbing my interest - the price is a little high, but I don't think it would stop me for getting the set if I were a fan of the TV series or had the teasers enticed me. I do agree with others that the advertising is a little much, but that might just be a sign that some of us spend too much time on the BF homepage and reading their Facebook and Twitter feeds.
