I'm an avid fan of The Prisoner, Patrick McGoohan's classic 60's series. As a proud owner (a wedding present!) of the entire video set with all episodes made, I enjoy them time and time again.

I must admit, I'm still slightly baffled at some of the elements in the very last episode!

What a shame more episodes weren't made. I wonder if this series would be a good candidate for a re-make and new episodes....?

I enjoyed The Prisoner too. I'd heard the Patrick Mcgoohan was a little cheesed off at having to end his series so he kind of went a little nuts with the plot? Anyone have a better theory?

them bones them bones them bones!

last one was a bit confusing, but every time I watch it it gets a little, but only a little clearer!!

That vaguely rings a bell?!! Sounds a good theory to me anyway! PM made the series though didn't he?

I never understood the series .. but then, was I meant to?

The Master

Probably not, bit like Twin Peaks?!

From what I've read PM sounds like a bit of a character himself. He doesn't do much acting does he?, the only recent things I've seen him in is Escape from Alcatraz and Braveheart.

When I was a kid I'd beg to be allowed to stay up to watch Dangerman with PM as John Drake. And although I liked the prisoner it was a bit silly Same thing happened to the Avengers it started off quite seriously but then got daft

PM was a real pleasure to see in that Good stuff!

I think it was a little like 1984 referring to big brother and what "they" can do with a little bit of power

it would have been nice to find out what information he was holding at the end though!

did any one see the Simpsons episode taking the proverbail out of it?!

the ice cream with syringes sticking out like umbrellas, and Homer was still eating them!

Ahhhhh, like an 'Animal Farm' kind of power thing?

The Simpsons take on The Prisoner was brilliant, the classic line for me was when they finally returned to the island at the end of the prog and Marge says something like....... its quite nice here, apart from the occasional gassings!
Love it !

Yes agreed there, it was great, v funny!

If anyone can find a picture of Homer in his No. 6 costume, please post it

DOH!

That's the one Dax! Nice 1

Maybe the message is that we are all prisoners of our own selves, unless we break free from our conditioning?

Well, it's probably over a year since I last watched some Prisoner on video - I feel an episode coming on.

By hook or by crook I do........
