The Prisoner: "Dry Bones," as Heard in "Fall Out"

- Selected scenes from "Fall Out," the final episode of The Prisoner, featuring "Dry Bones," a Dixieland-inspired take on the old spiritual "Dem Bones" recorded by the Four Lads in 1961. The song refers to Ezekiel 34, in which the prophet successfully prods a valley of long-dry bones to reanimate and form a fearsome army.

48's ramblings seem nonsensical, but they're not. 6 rebelled against the Village with his intellect, and 48 rebelled by refusing to acknowledge that authority at all. Dropping out completely. Confronting madness with madness. Quite, quite brilliant.
+ProjectFlashlight612 ---how did 2 rebel ?
He didn't. Not until the end. Maybe.
A Great look at the Hippie Counterculture.
The "Turn on, tune in, drop out" people !
Thanks for the trip Dad
Both 6 and 48 were respected for this very reason.

+Funky Fish Love this quote!
When I saw this as a kid, this show seemed strange. Now as a 60 year-old man it makes perfect sense given our society today.
In the end, although it seemed surreal, it was a very prophetic show. We’re all in the Village, now. Be seeing you.
One of my favorite scenes in anything ever forever
I love in the last episode when number 6, 2, and 48 come up and everybody starts shooting, and then all you need is love starts playing 😂 cracks me up
Can't imagine seeing a show from Britain this weird back in the 60's, wish we still made stuff that was this bizzare.
Hopingover Leavesinfall what about the show Lost?
@@adamx6000 I mean I wish Britain still made major TV shows that were this ambitious and bizzare.
This show was way ahead of it's time, and makes more sense now than when it first aired.
Holy cow, I never realized how well Reboot parodied this series in the episode "Number 7". I of course recognized the bubble thing, and the masked jury, but Hack and Slash coming up on the elevators singing "Dry Bones" makes a lot more sense lol.
i cant stop watching this scene
Number 48 was right. what a crazy scene that is.
I’d love to know exactly what No. 6 is miming to the policeman. One of the funniest moments in The Prisoner.
The lyrics to "Dem Bones".
Number 48 is the best character ever!
GIVE IT TO ME, BABY!
AH AH, AH AH!
That's fascinating about what the Dry Bones song by The Four Lads is referring to. I never really quite noticed that 'till now. Perhaps it would've been fitting for there to have been an army of reassembled & reanimated skeletons wearing those spooky,gemini ghost costumes in this wacky episode. It's hilarious and rousing how crazy everybody who are dressed in the gemini ghost costumes act when No 48 sings Dry Bones and then moments later, when the actual song is played over the loud speakers.
what does it mean do you think? just that all these people in the system who profess to be feeling, rational and human are nothing but 'dry bones'?
The butler was trying not to laugh...
There actually was an EP released in the late 80s that had "Dry Bones" and several Ron Grainer songs. May have been called The Ron Grainer EP. I have a burned copy of it. Very rare item.
You forgot when they were dancing in the truck on the way to London. Also, i prefer the Beetles,all you need is love when they were shooting up the place towards the end,seems appropriate somehow.
I think the Butler is the real Number 1.
We do see him go through the door at the end that is numbered 1
Me too, I always thought that would be the big reveal. He's the only one in the Village who has no number badge, and always seems to know what's going on
But didn't we see Patrick McGoohan dressed up as another character wearing clothing saying "1" on it?
George Markstein, the script editor until he had a falling out with McGoohan, always implied that making the Butler #1 was the original idea. He preferred a more straightforward approach to the show, while McGoohan wanted to get more "out there."
We are all prisoners of ourselves.
YOU are Number One.
And hear the word of the lord
And the song is about the dead coming back to life. That is what happens in this episode Number 6 and others escape and go back to living.
Did this show influence Alan Moore in writing V for Vendetta? It surely must have?
I have never heard of this.
You must fight crazy with crazy.
It seems nr. 48 breaking out in a sing and dance routine triggered some weird bureaucratic machinery that cannot be stopped. The judge seems to be angry that he have to participate in the dance but is powerless to stop it. The bureaucrats demands it, the guards enforce it, he is just a pawn.
In the end nr. 6 and 48 are the only ones that are sane, despite both of them being scrutinized by society for not being sane, in fact society tried to make them insane.
yes!!! so true
The music is from the Delta Boys band from 1940's.
NOW HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!
I told you Grimaldus is terrifying
unique tv
Imagine Edward Snowden pulling a stunt like that in front of a Congressional hearing.
Maybe he did.
WE WANT INFORMATION /
YOU WON'T GET IT /
BY HOOK OR BY CROOK WE WILL !
anyone know what music starts playing towards the end?
Duke John the song is officially titled "Rag March," by Jack Arel. Mr. Arel was also responsible for "Welcome, Mr. Jones," a.k.a. The "Dreamy Party" music in episode A, B, & C. Both songs appeared on volume 2 of The Prisoner soundtrack albums released by Silva Screen Records in conjunction with The Prisoner Appreciation Society in the early 90s. All three volumes are long out of print but were thankfully reissued a few years back and you can get them on Amazon.
Sanford and Son impersonation lol 0:45
This was way before that show. It is much closer to Lord Buckley.
love the prisoner.... but they were on some strong shit when they wrote this...i like it!!!
Not really. They were under a time crunch due to the upcoming air date... was actually written in a hurry.
"comments have been moved"
...ok then
anyway, someone please explain this scene to me
You have to watch the ENTIRE series over and over many times, and slowly you will come to understand it.
Great educational video on the US justice system
You're on to something, aren't you? 😏
How many seasons was this show?
Only one season! 17 episodes back in 1967. Patrick McGoohan had a pretty clear creative vision for the series and initially intended the show to run for only 7 episodes or so. He received pressure from several production parties to make more episodes and it seems as though the 17 produced was likely some kind of compromise
According to The Prisoner Companion, ITC wanted two 13-episode seasons, and “Once Upon a Time” was to be the season one finale. But then things happened, they ended up doing 17 episodes, and “Once” got pushed to the end just before “Fall Out”.
Them Skull and Bones connected to the...
Now hear the word of the Lord
Alexis Kanner, not Kenner
Good catch!
2:02 HIP! HIP! HIP! Hooray!
Guilty!!!
POLICE STATE,OH YES INDEED
A police state controls the populace by physical force. You are a prisoner in the _information_ state, where they know more about you than you know about yourself.
what
Oh, God, that song was annoying. Not The Beatles, but the Bones thing.
Richard Lawson disagree.
I second that disagreement.
I first time I saw this part, my reaction was "what the hell is going on...."; not to mention the fact that I was disturbed by #48 because the actor playing him was the same one who played "The Kid" in that Western episode -- and that character was SO creepy and disturbing because he never talked and came off as a convincing psychopath. Seeing the same creepy actor here (in a different role) talking and singing "Dry Bones" had me scratching my head.
But every time I've re-watched this episode, this has to be my favorite part. The way everyone in their robes and masks -- and even "The President" -- join in and sing and clap is hilarious. Made me like the song (which before this, I had no feeling about one way or the other).
