That was early! I first saw The Prisoner at 15, when it was broadcast on the then brand new British Channel 4, after my friend's mum told us about it. The amazing thing is that it was also McGoohan who conceived and co-wrote much of the 17 episodes, after the demands made on him for Secret Agent Man left him bitter, and it does reflect much of what was topical in the 60s as a society, and even today.

Portmeirion, where the exteriors were filmed, is also a wonderful place...and a perfectly bizarre village. *g*
