Trade Review
Cox offers a different and in some ways controversial slant on the series -- Karen Langley * Six of One *
Cox does a terrific job of giving a fresh interpretation to what must be the world's most analysed television series -- Sinclair McKay * Spectator *
Clear and well-informed - written from a gifted film-maker's point of view, with a Coxian twinkle in its eye - this is the best guide to THE PRISONER and its hidden depths that I have read. If you want to find out who Number 6 REALLY was, and who/what was managing the Village, look no further -- Christopher Frayling
Cox's research is exemplary...Cox's enthusiasm for the subject is joyous -- Michelle Le Blanc Colin Odell * Kamera.co.uk *
If you've been itching for answers, they're largely here -- Jon Wise * Sunday Sport *
