The Prisoner: The Complete Series Blu-ray release details

The Prisoner: The Complete Series Blu-ray release:

This has to be one of the most eagerly awaited Blu-ray releases so far. In fact is this the release of the year? We believe so.

The Prisoner is a series that could have been made specifically with the Blu-ray format in mind. TV showings of this cult classic 60s series never could do full justice to the wonderful settings / sets featured in the series (it would be fair to say the settings were one of the series major stars). But with Network's amazing job in restoring the series that was evident on its award winning digitally restored DVD set released in 2007, and now this, The Prisoner's worldwide debut release on Blu-ray, a legion of fans both new and old will get to enjoy The Prisoner as it never been seen before - in stunning Blu-ray clarity along with a crisp 5.1 sound mix. Network DVD have kindly provided us with their press release for the The Prisoner Blu-ray release, which gives you a flavour of just what is in store for this wonderful limited edition box set.
