Nicely done! I'm sorry I didn't subscribe to SciFi at the time this special was on the air. I would have recorded it myself! Particularly liked the Stephen Fry interview! Playing Number 2 must have been a childhood dream of his for years! If so, I'm glad he was able to live it albeit on a comedy special that probably wasn't aired in the States. Maybe there's a DVD somewhere...?
"The Prisoner has influenced a whole genre of risk taking surreal programming. For example, Twin Peaks, the X Files, and the Outer Limits."
Uh...... I adore The Prisoner, but The Outer Limits aired in 1963 to 1965. Way before the Prisoner.
Also, "...the enigmatic Number 1 never appears in the program..."
Uh, did the host of this special even watch the last episode???

Alexis Kanner looked great, especially considering he died not long after this was made.
