Be seeing you

"I am not a number! I am a free man!"
Emmy-winning actor Patrick McGoohan, best known for starring in cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner, has died at the age of 80.

He died in Los Angeles after a short illness, his film producer son-in-law Cleve Landsberg told Associated Press.

McGoohan played the character Six in the surreal 1960s show, filmed in the north Wales village of Portmeirion.


I wonder if this killed him:
ITV is currently remaking The Prisoner in conjunction with American cable channel AMC.It is due to air later this year.

I think i posted recently that i just finished watching the series and felt a bit of a let down with the last couple of episodes. But really, that's gonna be peanuts compared to what a remake is going to do to this classic. Hopefully it will sink from sight as fast as The Day The Earth Stood Still.

  • They just don't make television shows as good as they used to.
