As an RPGer, a player of Steve Jackson Games, and a big fan of The Prisoner, I got this when it came out. In all those years, I've never played it, but I have read it several times. The book is excellent. If I ever did play it, I would start the players with a backstory. They've been established in The Village for a while, and they know some of the ins and outs. Maybe there is a new NPC coming in. I would have the players portray the support characters in the series, essentially.
That is a very interesting take on the dynamic and if someone were to remake the show (again), this would be a great point of view to use as a baseline. It could even be the means to allow for guest stars or shifting "Prisoners" each season.

All we have to do now is find a producer.
The Prisoner is quite an interesting show. I remember I have seen a few episodes of it.
