He was a free man, not a number. No wonder there was no place for him in NuLabor's NuBritain, the world leader in surveillance.

The Prisoner was and remains one of the finest series' ever made. It's influence is undeniable and the fact it really was years ahead of its time should not be forgotten. As for the man himself, PM was a man of many principals (which caused him to reject the role of James Bond) and was a hugely gifted actor. God bless Paddy.

It was only ever going to be one series, Keith. That is the whole fucking point.

Never fucking heard of him ... how dare he die without me getting the chance to know who he was - I demand a recount!!

PEOPLE think Stephen Hawking is so clever, but when you ask him a question and he is typing in the answer on his little screen, how do we know he isn't just looking up the answer on the Internet?

"The Prisoner was in fact so ahead of its time that Lew Grade axed it and its like has never been seen since."

I believe that Lew Grade actually asked for more episodes that was originally envisaged.

And Colonel is right, the project was planned as a single series. There was never any intention to make it anything more than that.
