[Laceykat66]

Ah yes,

It is funny how the earth is seen in films.

During this time and before, it is shown like a globe school children would have.

Note the original Star Trek and other sci-fi shows.

Almost immediately after the Moon shots and photos of Earth, people became accustomed to the reality of the blue and white marble look with The recognizable land masses/oceans obliterated by swirls of clouds. By 1970, no outer space/sci-fi show features the "kid's" globe version.

Thanks for finding this.

POP - Protect Our People...

Hang on! Isn't the world rotating in the wrong direction in the rejected end credits? Perhaps the whole thing was set in an alternate universe...

I really wish we could get the track alone playing in the background around 2:50 - definitely sounds like it needs the stops pulled out, but would have made some interesting incidental music or just easier listening!

I've just uploaded the entire track. It's called "The Age of Elegance". Just type in "The Prisoner Original Theme Tune" or click on my link. Enjoy!

Cheers!

As above. Well done for finding it as well! But where on Earth DID you find it!

[altfactor]

Perhaps it's an "extra" in a DVD set of the series.

Wow, this is fascinating material, thank you very much for posting it!
