The Times - I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape

[IamPangurBan]

"Rover is an excellent name for a dog."

[SneakyTechno]

been to port meirion many times and this is great !!!

[GusF]

Is that W. Morgan Sheppard voicing Number Two?

[pulpculture]

@GusF That would be telling.

(Yes, actually.)

[themorph72]

Fantastic song!!

[DoctorCooper293]

This seriously inspired me to watch The Prisoner again.

[biffa1965]

ahhh the mems loved this song got it on vynal

[THFCMOD]

Fantastic! Great band, great video and a great programme.

[mez1964]

Classic!

[Borbeckmods]

A Mod-Classic!!! Also in Germany.

[superiourcowies]

Who's have thought the minister for schools used to be so punk.

[snowgirl1052]

Anyone know what kind of car it was in the Prisoner intro? Patrick McGoohan should have been knighted, he was the best!

[heavymental70]

@snowgirl1052 Lotus Seven--still made today by Caterham Cars.

[cpunctn]

Everytime i heard the intro i tried to remember which tune was it from,and just realised it's 1964's Keep On Running by The Spencer Davis Group!

[paddy9i99]

The only thing yo helped was,

To make yourself look like a plagurising CUNT.

Patrick McGoohan was a talented actor, writer, director and producer.

You are a worthless cunt trying to live off his steam.

[ejrigby]

Absolutely fabulous! A fond tribute to a great actor in his most memorable role.

[farbrortheguru]

This is Best Stuff!

[paddy9i99]

This is shit.

FUCK OFF

[antonfjordson]

...go to hell.

[jackthatcatwasclean]

STILL HAVE THE 45 under the name of "Teenage Filmstars"

[theface79]

You have? F***, your cat is clean! And one of the best band names ever, wanted to nick it instantly when I first read it

[SteveWilks68]

Ed Ball master and genious clever twist on the old keep on running !!

[IExposeMormonism]

Wonder what happened to license plate  KAR 120C. some jag owner would sell his soul for it

[heavymental70]

@IExposeMormonism The number plate KAR120C is owned by Caterham Cars, who aquired the rights to build the Seven from Lotus in 1974. In the 1990s they made a limited Prisoner edition of the car--british racing green with yellow nose cone and red interior. The companies' founder, Graham Nearn, had the tag on his personal car.

[IExposeMormonism]

@heavymental70  Thanks, I'll bet there are some jealous Jag Owners.

[Wilthomer66]

Hearing this song takes me back to 1984 when I was introduced to The Times, brilliant band!!

[Davidkevin]

So many shots were such exact reproductions of the originals! An excellent tribute.

[Laicus1]

Ho sentito per la prima volta la canzone su Splash of colour una raccolta di gruppi della neopsichedelia Uk . Favolosa

[DrKincade]

I saw this ages ago and have had the record for aeons but this the first time I've seen the video in ages....

EXCELLENT!

[verbusen]

That was a great treat! I'm a big Prisoner fan and never saw this before, thanks a lot!

BCNU

[crimsong19]

Excellent video!

[GusF]

R.I.P. Patrick McGoohan. With "The Prisoner", he left an indelible mark on television.

[moloko0velocet]

You'll always be #1 in my book, old man.

Hope you enjoy your time in the big village in the sky.

[DoctorX101]

RIP Number 6 and The King that Solves Problems by Throwing Them Out the Window.

--J.D.

[grahhop1]

R.I.P 13.01.2009

[MoltenCoreMusic]

RIP Patrick McGoohan!

[ace69er]

Spencer Davis ripoff! 'Keep on Running' the start is identical.

I can see that was deliberate due to Number 6 always trying to run away from the Village!

[jago544643]

does anyone have the album a splash of colour that this was on

[KoinoPinchHitter]

This tune's goodness melody am always wonderful.

Relations to PV are too wonderful along with it.

I feel very deep love against the music and movie from this author's pv.

I came to want to listen after a long time their album.

Thank you very much for up-loading.

I'm sorry by very poor English.

[craig1873craig]

[powerbeatle]

Oh sorry, I forgot something.

Thanks for let me discovering this song on You Tube.

[powerbeatle]

I'm really a big fan of the mystery and intelligent masterpiece THE PRISONER of Patrick McGoohan.

Especially what happened in "Free for ALL" is 100 % realitiy now in our world.

Hope some people see what happened.

[Serge1710]

I love this song, this video, Patrick McGoohan and "The Prisoner"!

[mkl62]

Happy birthday, Patrick. 3-19-08. My mother will be 80 in April.

[RosaLui]

I'm only 17, and now totally a huge fan, thanks to my mom.

She met Patrick once, backstage at a play... he was really cool. She found out later that after she and the fan group she'd been in had left, Patrick had come back to offer to take them out to eat!!!!!!!!!!

[tenagliac]

It's takes a village....

Moooohaha !

Nicely done.

BCNU !

[AtticusStount]

If only it were possible to give this 6-stars! The attention to detail in both the song and visuals is incredible.

[Eponymous9]

Excellent!

[DAWOOLAH]

Wow! never knew this video existed.

Quality Band - 'This is London' - Classic LP.

Any 'Direct Hits' clips anyone?

[theface79]

No, but I once owned a Direct Hits live tape.

Wanted to put them on stage in my hometown at the time.

But although This is London is very good, Pop goes Art is the real classic, in my opinion.

[despairtonohair]

Nice one, Great song I first heard it on a Childrens of nuggets Box set, good to see the Video!

[WheresDanTreacyNow]

Awesome. This is possible the best video in th world. Ed Ball rocks my socks.

[frankwirtanen]

For those who don't know already, the intro of the song is a quote from "Keep On Running" by the Spencer Davis Group.

I adore this video and my only microscopic nitpick is the use of aviator glasses and jeans, neither of which I remember being part of the Village's sartorial style (but please correct me if I'm wrong!)

[astralgravy]

i don't remember it either.... i thought number 2 wore a scarf and khakis, hahah

[Foxes93]

Woops, that wasn't meant to be twice!.. But hey knickerbockerglorys that means i'm distantly related to you..

[Foxes93]

Patrick McGoohan's my great uncle

[DAZZAMAGOO]

Really? thats awesome im a massive fan always loved anything to do with the prisoner.

[AtticusStount]

Are you serious?!

[Foxes93]

Yeah :D

I've only met him once though!

[Foxes93]

Patrick McGoohan's my great uncle

[clattybrown]
