About This Website.
This website was created as a reference point for people interested in finding out more about, or the truth about, Six of One (the disgraced "Appreciation" Society for "The Prisoner" TV Series of the 1960s, starring Patrick McGoohan).
Prisoner fandom, and the internet, is awash with rumours, lies, gossip and spin concerning the Society. All of the information contained within this website is indisputable fact, provided to us by many of the individuals actually involved in the incidents as they took place, and from literature distributed by the Society itself.
It would not be wise to trust any source of information concerning Six of One other than that which is contained within this website. As we prove, you will often not get an honest view from the Society itself.
Founded in 1977, Six of One (The Prisoner Appreciation Society) soon became World-renowned for the quality of its mailings, information, events, and merchandise and for over 20 years was the pride of TV fandom. However, events of recent times have made the Society a shameful version of its former self. Despicable, immoral and illegal acts perpetrated by members of the current coordination team of the Society has led to countless numbers of long-standing members quitting the Society in disgust.
The moderator and creator of this website is an ex-member of Six of One, who had not at any point been expelled, warned, had a disagreement or personal issue with, or told not to renew by the Society or any member of the coordination team. He decided, after receiving the yellow document in the post, to (without fuss) not renew his 15-year long membership as he thought certain incidents were not in-keeping with the themes of his favourite TV show.
However, upon reading various forums, newsgroups and literature from the Society itself, it became clear that the illegal and immoral activities were continuing, and are still continuing well into 2006. He then sought to contact the many individuals concerned to find out the truth regarding the Society and its immoral coordination team. Many of these individuals have kindly assisted with the creation of this website, and help to keep it updated.
This website also acts as a right to reply to the yellow document, which is both factually incorrect and misleading, and provides information to potential members not aware of the ongoing (well into 2006) behaviour of the Society so that they can make up their own minds with both "sides" of the story at their disposal.
Every possible measure has been taken to ensure that the information on this website is the truth. We take full responsibility for comments made by the moderator. If you believe (and can offer proof) that any information contained within this site is incorrect, please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to set the record straight. In the first 3 years since the launch of this website, we have not been corrected on any issue. If you have an interesting story to tell about your experiences with Six of One, we would also like to hear from you. An increasing number of readers' points of view can be seen HERE.
We would also very much like to hear from anyone who is a coordinator, or member, of Six of One. Unlike the coordination team and their "yellow document", we are fair-minded and encourage a "right to reply" system. Any interesting comments will, of course, be added to this website.
