This documentary makes it seem like so much less than it is... it cheapens it....

The presenter, pretending to be Number 6 ,looks a little similar to Austin Powers ( Mike Myers ) am an avid fan and have been since first aired in the mid `60`s - this is dismal.

Time for someone to upload The Prisoner File which took a look into the series, which we all know was an allegory ( a farytale, in other words ). B C IN U!

I hate when those who cannot act try to do an homage to those who were simply brilliant. This sucked, I've seen better film on teeth. I've passed better idea than this in the toilet,

Guy Doleman-the cool first No. 2-was also in Thunderball. The evil but equally cool Count Lippe.

I remember watching this as a kid. I loved this show, twists, action and imagination. It was awesome!

One of the best series ever made.
