    THE PRISONER
    #6 Button with Penny-Farthing Bicycle
    A 1.25" pinback button with crisp B&W repro artwork of the insignia of The Village - an old-fashioned bicycle.  This button has the number 6 in red (for the Patrick McGoohan eponymous 'prisoner'.)
    The Prisoner is a 17-episode British television series first broadcast in the United Kingdom from 29 September 1967 to 1 February 1968.  Starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan, it combined spy fiction with elements of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama.
    The series follows a British former secret agent who is abducted and held prisoner in a mysterious coastal village resort where his captors try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. In the village everyone has numbers, not names, and the leader is called Number Two.  In the opening credits of the show, McGoohan's character is assigned the number 6, to which he declares, "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
    Although sold as a thriller in the mould of the previous series starring McGoohan, Danger Man (1960) [retitled as "Secret Agent" in the US], the show's combination of 1960s counter-cultural themes and surreal setting had a far-reaching effect on science fiction/fantasy programming, and on popular culture in general.
    Everyone in the Village wears a button with a pennyfarthing bicycle and their number, and Number 6 of course has his own button.  This repro button is smaller than the one shown on the show, which makes it easier to wear discreetly.
    We also offer a large 2.25" version of this design: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165030139247
    Wear your Number 6 button and try to defy the power of The Village! Remember, "I am not a number, I am a free man!" {button may be worn by either sex}
