Thanks for the link. I've watched the series several times through but my wife hasn't. I will go to this site and enjoy it all over again. I do hate the last episode. Don't get it and probably never will. Maybe it's because I never want #6 to escape or maybe the sixties psychedelic ending throws me off.
David - I'm still flumoxed with the end myself - but what a series!
I probably go against the flow of most opinion here, but I preferred McGoohan in his earlier success, Danger Man (Secret Agent in US). These half-hour dramas were masterpieces of condensed plotting and action, plus they had great black-and-white cinephotography and used the fine set facilities of MGM's Borehamwood studios. I watched them the episodes on DVD a few years ago and they were still very entertaining.
Loved The Prisoner - and Patrick McGoohan's acting and 'voice'. One of his first speaking roles was in 'The Dambusters' - just the one line.
I liked his Judge in the screen adaptation of a John Grisham novel (title escapes me) that starred Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaghy and Samuel L.Jackson.
We all went up to Portmeiron after the series finished and I got shut in No.6's house (no doorhandle on the inside). Fortunately, dad let me out.
As far as I know there is no 'official' explanation for the ending. McGoohan said it was about 'love' whereas I think in terms of freedom. 'I am not a number I am a free man'.
Patrick McGoohan is a talent that will be missed.
The Finale of The Prisoner is one of the most perfect episodes of TV ever made.
I was really sad to hear of his passing. I was a big fan of his. A friend of mine had the entire series of Secret Agent on DVD. I finished watching it not long ago. He will definitely be missed. R.I.P.
