It was the cult Sixties television show that intrigued and enthralled a generation of viewers.
And now, after years of speculation and many a thwarted remake, The Prisoner is finally set to return to our screens.
The series charts the story of a former secret agent who is kidnapped by an unknown enemy and taken to an unnamed village where inmates are numbered but not named.
Patrick McGoohan, who died aged 80 in January, co-wrote the original script and played the main character – known only as prisoner Number Six.
He finds himself in a constant intellectual and emotional struggle with his captor, Number Two, played by different actors.
The new £10million series has been jointly produced by ITV and the American channel AMC. British actor Sir Ian McKellen, 70, takes on the role of Number Two while Number Six is played by Hollywood star Jim Caviezel, 41, who starred in The Passion Of The Christ.
The new series, which has six episodes, begins in the US next month, before being screened in Britain early next year.
