And some sad news

[jayes_musings]

I've just heard that Patrick McGoohan, star of the cult TV series The Prisoner and before that DangerMan (in the U.S. Secret Agent Man) died after a short illness. He was 80 years old.

I loved The Prisoner...even if I still don't understand all of it, it was a piece of brilliant television which has never really been equalled. Plus Portmeirion is a lovely location!.

Rest in Peace and be a Free Man!

I was telling my friend hollyilex that I used to watch re-runs of The Prisoner on PBS late at night when I was about 13 and it scared the heck out of me. There was something deeply deeply unsettling about the way that show was filmed, the ominous undertones and just strangeness they managed to bring to it. It just had an eerie quality to it. Still get chills when I think about it.

I heard this earlier today. Yes, it is very sad indeed. I remember my grandparents watching that show when I was like four years old! *g*

Very sad news, also that Riccardo passed away as well. Both actors ahead of their time.
