Any other fans of this classic and highly influential 60s series starring Patrick McGoohan?
This series is cited by many critics and fans alike as one of the greatest cult TV series ever made, and for good reason. It has inspired two Iron Maiden tracks (The Prisoner and Back in the Village) and the Devil Doll album The Girl Who Was Death (the title of one of the 17 episodes in the series). There are many online forums and sites dedicated to the discussion and appreciation of this show, however if you are not yet familiar with it, my advice is save your time and watch it first before exploring these sites. There are 17 one hour episodes. The ending is very enigmatic and raises far more questions than it answers and has been discussed and interpreted at length since it was first aired. The series is worth repeated watchings as there is just so much to digest and appreciate.
While it was a product of its time with its general feel of cold war paranoia, many of its themes are timeless; the individual vs the collective, perceptions of fantasy/reality, trust, etc. etc The location in Sir Clough Williams-Ellis Portmerion Wales, the costumes, the gorgeous colour, Ron Grainer's theme (the same composer who did the Doctor Who theme among many others) all contribute to making this a truly special and unique series.
Any other fans? Or if you're not familiar with the series and I've piqued your interest watch it and I'm interested to read your thoughts. IMHO the last 3 episodes are among the best 3 hours of television ever made.
