No, Harold Pinter wasn't involved. Most of the Prisoner was written by... Patrick McGoohan.

Like Orson Welles or Peter Cook, he achieved an enormous amount at a relatively early stage in his career, then spent most of his life being watched to see if he was going to do it again. Perhaps, like them, he'll be appreciated with fewer reservations now he's gone.
