Thanks for posting. I've never seen it, eventhough I've been a fan of Patrick McGoohan for 30 years! BCNU...

@MrRobertJameson Er...I know. And I'm certainly not grateful for being reminded. I'm sure you meant well though.

Very impressive.

Be it a fire or someone simply blowing their nose. Wolvies love to stare.

I've been a fan of 'The Prisoner' (the greatest tv series ever made) for 30 years and used to contribute 'The Jailbird' comic strip for a fanzine published by 'Six Of One' The Prisoner Appreciation Society. I resigned from the society due to individuals suffering from delusions of grandeur... W...

R.I.P Richard Carpenter.

(1933 - 2012)

Like 99 per cent of drivers - she shouldn't be on the road.

A prisoner in his own skin? Could be the final episode of 'The Prisoner'! (Fall Out) . "Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones, dem bones, dem..."

@CoyotyDave A great shame. I've been a fan of McGoohan for 30 years. He turned down the role of Bond 3 times! He in fact suggested Connery after working with him on the 1957 movie 'Hell Drivers'. He was approached again after Connery and Lazenby. The film 'Ice Station Zebra' offers a fascinating ...

In fact they also play the theme tune to 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E' and 'The Professionals'. Where the fu@k is 'The Prisoner' theme???

@CharlieChaplinsAngel If this scene doesn't lift one's heart NOTHING will!

This is one of Chaplin's most hilarious scenes and was obviously deleted due to its length. The 'dopey bell boy' went on to become a film producer. To achieve the illusion of a busy street, the extras in the background swapped partners and hats when they disappeared out of shot. The climax of thi...

@supersaiyanhannah I too had the pleasure of speaking to Philip briefly outside the stage door of the Albert Hall. 'Ultraviolet' had just finished airing and I asked him if there would be a 2nd season. He turned back and replied "I hope so!" Unfortunately a 2nd series was never commissioned.

McGoohan is clearly having the time of his life at the end of this clip. He turned down the role of James Bond three times as well as the role of Simon Templar. He doesn't even need to speak. His charisma does it all for him. Patrick McGoohan is the clear winner and will always be 'Number One'. B...

"I meant offence." "None taken!" - MARVELOUS!

I think 'The Prisoner' had some influence on the script. "Where's the nearest town?" "Oh there isn't one." This could be from the episode 'Arrival' "You're as much prisoners as we are." This is from the episode 'The Chimes Of Big Ben'. BCNU.

Thetwo greatest series of all time were about prisoners. 'Porridge' and 'The Prisoner'!

@BritishComedyGreats I think it's just as well Going Straight only ran for 6 episodes. Otherwise it may have just resembled any other kitchen sink sit-com. The fact that they did ONE spin- off series is remarkable in itself. Ironically Fletcher DID end up going back to the nick when the whole tea...

Isn't it marvelous. An infinite amount of periods & locations & where does Tony end up in the first episode? THE TITANIC! Lee Merriwether was bloody awful. (It has to be said) However, I loved it as a kid. It still has it's charm eventhough I feel it never lived up to it's potential. I would have...

Unfortunately there were way more episodes in the past than the future. The show could have been a little more balanced.

(Cont) In the end, McGoohan's screen presence (he turned down the role of Bond 3 times and suggested Sean Connery after working with him on the brilliant 1957 movie 'Hell Drivers') & the passion, theme, idea, plots and allegory of 'The Prisoner' made up my mind. I think only a TRUE fan of 'R&H' ...

@TheTomhamilton8 Ditto! Great to hear it again 40 years later!

Featured in the movie 'Red Dog'. GREAT FILM! See it before you die.

The greatest James Bond was (wait for it) PATRICK McGOOHAN. Bond was originally conceived as a tv series which eventually became 'Danger Man'. Ian Fleming pulled out so Bond became Drake. After Cary Grant turned the role down, a young McGoohan was approached who also turned it down for moral reas...

This song will forever be linked to Jack and Victor from the brilliant Still Game just as Ghost Town by The Specials will forever be linked to Father Ted!

@MStrat1106 Caine's best film simply because Olivier raises the bar. I must have watched this a hundred times as it's probably my favourite movie - and I'M fussy! The REAL crime is that both actors lost to Brando at the Oscars. If push comes to shove, I think Olivier's performance was the best. ...

@genesis098123 We should organize the 'Sleuth' Original Movie Appreciation Society'. (S.O.M.A.S.) Even if it WOULD only have 2 members! Very best wishes to a like minded soul. );o)

When the rocket takes off, Rover perishes. Our planet is a global 'Village' with a huge 'Rover' revolving around us. We are all Prisoners! Rover represents our fear of the unknown, and whilst that fear exists - we are motionless. The rocket takes off to 'explore' i.e the Moon thus conquering our ...

The series has never been shown in a logical order. To enhance the enjoyment of this unique experience, I 'suggest' it is viewed like so......ARRIVAL / FREE / CHECKMATE / DANCE / CHIMES / FUNERAL / SCHIZOID / RETURNS / ABC / CHANGE / GENERAL / GIRL / FORSAKE / HAMMER / HARMONY / ONCE / FALL OUT....
