I was pretty young when The Prisoner was on, and didn’t understand half of it (if that), but it was groundbreaking. Must see if the series is out on DVD.

[/indent]If you find it, post back. I would probably buy a copy/set. I was always a big fan of Patrick McGoohan when I could see his stuff on US television. Good guy and a sad loss. With his distictive voice I always thought he was a native born Brit. I didn’t realize he was born in this country.

Thank you, John. I trust Amazon and will probably order a set.

Also sad to see he’d died and remember The Prisoner series fondly.

John – if you understand any more of it now you aren’t a callow youth, can you please let the rest of us into the secret ….

Actually I preferred Danger Man (and that shows my age!)

RIP to a great actor.

There’s a fairly good coverage of the series/ story here: The Prisoner – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It still has quite a cult following, and the history of the Welsh resort village Portmeirion in which it was filmed is quite a story in itself.
