Épisodes
Arrival (Original Edit)
A preliminary edit of the first episode, "Arrival", was broadcast by accident on one PBS station in the 1970s. Although the original negative of this edit has been lost, a videotape copy was discovered and released on DVD in 2002. Among the major differences from the officially broadcast version: * Different theme music and differently edited opening credits (same as the alternate version of "Chimes of Big Ben.") * Slight differences in the sequence where No. 6 wakes up in the Village for the first time. * A longer version of the sequence where No. 6 tours The Village by taxi. * When Rover is introduced, it does not kill a villager as it does in the televised version. * Longer version of the sequence where No. 6's radio-controlled helicopter returns to the Village. * Different closing credits, ending with an image of Earth and the universe turning into the pennyfarthing bicycle logo. Also, Wilfred Josephs is credited as musical director.

Exposure Strips
As a cost saving, the daily rushes for The Prisoner were printed in black & white. To check the colour and exposure, the camera operator and director of photography were given a strip of colour film, onto which a single frame from each chosen take was printed. As well as giving a guide to colour, the surviving strips have given a unique glimpse into the day's work each strip represents. Many of the 200 images in this gallery depict well known scenes and familiar stock shots, but also included are many never before seen shots and angles, along with a few very rare deleted scenes, accompanies by script extracts.
