I'm not a number, I'm a free man!!!

[AdamW]

I've been watching The Prisoner recently, great isn't it? What a wonderful concept! Probably wouldn't work in these post-Cold War days, but was certainly relevant (if I compare it to the Connery-era Bond films!)

Any other 1960s TV programmes I should be watching?

 

[breezer]

do you know who said " I am not a number, i am a frre man"?

it was said by Number 6

and in case any one doesn't know

this is "the village"

and they even have "prisoner conventions/ meetings there (ok so in the actul hotel / its grounds)

here are a bunch of people with a "rover"

be seeing you

And a great number of the buildings are fully functioning dwellings, well equipped, which you can rent for a holiday.

Lovely place, and it is just so nice to be able to wander round after it's closed and all the hoi-polloi have gone.

Eye-wateringly expensive though, and if you need to go in school summer hols you probably need to book between 09:00 and 09:15 on January 1st of the year before you want to go, i.e. 18-20 months in advance....

"I am not a number I AM a FREE MAN"..........no friggin` apostrophes best watched in B/W as I did "I am number 2, you are number6," "Who is number 1?" That Rover is ridiculously small those re-enactors should be ashamed of themselves...........what was the real Rover?...I know

It was one of the jellyfish that you get in the estuary of the River Dwyryd....

 

[AdamW]

Wow, this really must have been popular!

I apologise for the apostrophes, I was still taken aback from Number 6 winning the election to become Number 2 in a big ploy.

How many eggs with your bacon?

Be seeing you.

....Danger Man was a good series, and the precursor of The Prisoner with Pat Mc Goohan

dah dah de dah de de de de de dah (repeat) Yes indeed it was supposed to answer questions as to why he retired from the secret service job he had in Danger Man. Unfortunately I don't think it succeeded very well, those that watched the prisoner will understand.
The prisoner ended up as a vehicle fro Mc Goohan's directorial and scriptwriting role and his lack of ideas towards the end of the series are evident. Still great entertainment though

Rover was a .............meterological (weather) balloon Brilliant image of the face pressing into it @ the start of each programme. Lotus 7 car wasn`t bad either, burning down a near deserted M1.......the ending of the series was crud because the powers that be cut Mc Goohan`s budget, apparently. If only they had the foresight.
