Patrick McGoohan.
I remember it well.....although I was never an "avid" fan.
Filmed in Port Meirion (north Wales)....a beautiful place to visit......or it was when I went 30 years ago.

I was there this year and it is still stunning

I found it a bit weird. On a par with the 1960's Avengers i'd say.

We have the whole series on DVD. Loved it.

Apparently it's an urban myth that McGoohan never worked in the UK again after the last episode aired. He mostly worked in the States but was in a couple of things here too.

He actually appeared in (and directed) a number of episodes of Columbo, and always used the phrase "Be seeing you"

This is the best I could find....4:44 onwards

On the same theme of 1966....Beatles album Revolver is 50 this year.

I enjoyed the Prisoner....but the last episode lost me.....McGoohan never worked in the UK again after the furore of that last episode ITV bosses were livid.
I guessed that heavy 60s drug use was a factor ... :whistle:

Either that, or they just got bored and decided to take the p*ss to see if they could get away with it! :laugh:
