The Prisoner’s new village

19 August 2008 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

Den of Geek has quite a nice piece on the updated version of The Prisoner, including a look at the new Village – aka Swakopmund, which is where it’s being filmed. There are also links to a video of the cast and crew getting together and some other articles.
