'The Prisoner' was always clearly full-blown escapionist nonsense. Along with the
likes of The Avengers. Entertaining but not to be taken seriously ever.


Indeed... In one of the many cycles of airing 'The Prisoner' on PBS here in the
States, there was 15 minutes of psycho-social analysis and commentary at the end
of each episode, some segments even included Mr. McGoohan who evidently had some
control over production and scripts. It was all very heavy, full of cold-war themed
allegory and psychiatric theory, existentialism, psychedelic references, etc., etc.

BTW, humor My spell checker always suggests replacing your handle with
'Eyesore' /humor

Yes, Phil Allison does that.

The Prisoner was shot at Portmeiron on the Welsh coast. It's a tourist destination now.

Nice village btw.

The father of a friend of mine was once offered the opportunity to buy the place !
