New interviews with Val Lehman, Amanda Muggleton etc talking about Prisoners success in the UK and their time over here
The Prisoner Musical - broadcast only once in Australia in 1980 I believe
The fan made episode 693
Deleted Scenes
Out-takes
An episode of the male version of Prisoner, Punishment
A feature on the infamous 'set wobbles' and 'boom mic' appeareances
I'm afraid we probably won't ever see new extras for the UK editions simply because there just isn't the budget. We all know how good Prisoner is but it is a niche box set release and sadly money has to be spent on things like a BBFC fee for each disc and once you've manufactured and shipped it all there's not a lot left. If we could somehow make this a blockbuster seller (as frankly it should be!) then perhaps there would be an argument to try and find more stuff but it's about as likely as Lizzie walking past a still without ramming it full of anything to hand and drinking the result!
