Throughout the 1960s and '70s ITC produced some of the most successful filmed action series ever made. Watched the world over and still shown on television to this day, their release on DVD has ensured that these series will continue to be watched for decades to come. One of the key elements of their success is undoubtedly the music, which was specially composed for each series - from the immediately recognisable and iconic theme tunes to the suites of memorable incidental compositions - which veered from cool jazz through syncopated mood music to ethereal string compositions, dependent on the demands of the plot that week!
Never previously released in this format and compiled from the original master tapes, this set contains highlights from Patrick McGoohan's magnum opus - The Prisoner.
