Episode numbers


Just a note for the person who had started to divide the episode pages into seasons.

Prisoner was a series shown continuously with only a few weeks' break at a time, therefore it didn't have seasons. The episode guide is already divided into years (1979-1986) so there is no need to update the pages this way. Episode 400, for example, was always referred as "Episode 400" by the Prisoner production team. The changes are currently being reversed.

The correct episode number sequence is:

1979 - episodes 1.1-1.79
1980 - episodes 1.80-1.165
1981 - episodes 1.166-1.246
1982 - episodes 1.247-1.326
1983 - episodes 1.327-1.416
1984 - episodes 1.417-1.505
1985 - episodes 1.506-1.588
1986 - episodes 1.589-1.692

Please can we try to keep the episode pages an accurate guide to the programme?

Thanks.

From the IMDB submission guide:

Continuous series: For some very long running continuous series that do not use seasons (typically, soap operas, talk shows, and newscasts), episode numbers are all within season 1 (and so your episode number should be in the format of 1.1284 etc).
