I thought I'd add this outline style episode guide. It does NOT list synopses of the episodes though! I remember seeing the series for the first time and am very glad no one told me what was going to happen.

Starlog #11 does have an episode guide to the show and a skimpy article on the series. Many fanzines also had episode guides. The Ontario Educational 'Prisoner Primer' was one of the better ones.

Travel & Leisure Magazine In 1980 May or June I believe had an article on Portmerion in Wales. Many public libraries should have this.
