The Prisoner Opening Theme

[kiddkuntz]

So is the state number 1 ? hey big brother.

[myobfool]

The finest example of how not to resign from your job.

[Mrtheseventhmoon]

Much better than shutter island, mostly because it's so English :)

[Rollie1961]

Best TV theme song ever.....

[serentochan]

Damn, I wish I got a thunderclap effect whenever I walked into a room.

[LesPaulElitist]

Patrick McGoohan was the best "Number One" by far!

[NelliDogon49]

DL the audio from this song at speedyconversion doht cohm.

[GLAD0Sisaspy]

Now if modern T.V. Shows were made like this one was our society would not be filled with Morons

[Machinegun0arg]

Unusual opening but quite interesting

As a youngling I still have heard of this tv show (who never heard of the Village, the "I am not a number!" and of those white bubbles...) but I never actually watch it

If I find it somewhere on the internet in streaming I sure will

"Who is No. 1?"

"You are, No. 6."

[RedwoodTheElf]

@lemurdue

Depends on where you put the punctuation. It could just as well be "You - Are Number 6." ignoring the question that preceeded it, and thats the way it's actaully spoken (The significant pause being after You, not Are.)

[lemurdue]

@RedwoodTheElf

I didn't hear a significant pause. But, it doesn't really matter. The people who knew are dead anyway.

[RedwoodTheElf]

@lemurdue

Or....are they? They might have been taken away to The Village...

'Ya know; if he was such a good agent would have known he was being trailed! ;)

[Billy5ive]

Made at a time when Freedom was in fashion to be fought for!

As timeless as it it is - of it's time.

One hopes Pat has now found hie freedom - R.I.P.

[saikyoryu]

But the debate still remains: Was Number Six John Drake or not? The universe may never know.

[shanesreallycool]

at the end of this video, i heard the beginning drums to the iron maiden song in my head

[TimelordR]

Leo McKern: the REAL number 2!

[doctorw2]

best show ever put on tv!!!

[gil72ful]

JUST AWESOME! NEVER WILL SHOWS LIKE THIS BE MADE AGAIN!

[Taimak77]

@gil72ful How sad that you are correct! Any potential remake would be more about the gadgets, gunfire, actors & actresses bodies and looks and some type of amorphous "global good" than the fight for freedom. This series can NEVER be remade! Let all Hollywood producers hear that! (that's an open challenge to J.J. Abrams! ;)

[GLAD0Sisaspy]

@gil72ful I plan to Change that.....

[altfactor]

Leo McKern was the best "Number Two" by far!

[oakandwillow]

Hollywood can't help but change a brilliant work for the worst... They were likely thinking of playing a waiting game with McGoohan to see how much money he would hold out for. I think a future McGoohan project may still be possible, considering Pat's ability and instinct for detail, probably administered by the family, and to be executed by a young, hungry, gifted film student.

[christopherm2k]

Brilliant! Patrick McGoohan refused to have anything to do with the silly American remake, as he had already done it. I applaud his refusal as the remakes or re-introductions tend to be a far cry from the original.

[mowriter]

christopher: too bad, McGoohan could have influenced the director to keep the story real; instead who knows what monstrosity will come out of the industry too well known for Jerry Bruckheimer mindless stupidity.
