Competitions
Win tickets to a London premiere screening of the new version of The Prisoner
It’s true. It’s not my competition, but it’s true: you can win tickets to an exclusive West End screening of the first two episodes of ITV & AMC’s reworking of The Prisoner with Jim Caveizel and Ian McKellen. Equally excitingly, it’ll take place 48 hours after the US network premiere.
The competition’s being run by ITV and the entry form is over here. Beat the rush while you can!
A new promo for The Prisoner
Not to prejudge, but what are we all thinking of this ‘ere new trailer for AMC/ITV’s remake of The Prisoner? Parts of it look good, but parts of it look a bit dodgy. What do you think?
