Jun 16, 2009 - The Prisoner is one of the finest made science ficttion attempts on television from Britian apart from the Doctor Who series. McGoohan was a top notch actor.

Sep 28, 2009 - Its a british name dufussnout. People have different names in different parts of the world get used to it.

mrFalconlem Says:

Sep 28, 2009 - U obviously weren't around in the 80's, morning TV was very slow paced, for good reason, MOST PEOPLE WATCHING THIS would have been stay at home moms or old people or maybe kids. I doubt you tape GMA either. Most people now only watch the news and go out the door to their job.  But I do admit the play part was to long, I figure that's because they figured he wouldn't talk about the Prisoner.

Oct 2, 2009 - Your right. I just saw the ad but it is for tv on the AMC network here in the USA.

Feb 24, 2010 - Poor lady with the name Gay Search. She must get kidded all the time. Sounds like a web site for poofs.

skeilak Says:

Apr 29, 2010 - :"Hello, I'm Patrick McGoohan, and I'm so damn classy, I'll just read from the back of an envelope, and sound great doing it."

Banner1979 Says:

Jun 13, 2010 - I'm watching The Prisoner right now. Top show with highly relevant themes about identity and authority. Nice one, Pat.

McGeachan Says:

Jun 30, 2010 - Respected Patrick McGoohan before he prostrated himself before the anti-semite adulterer Mel Gibson. Then I understood him to be the cunt he always was.

stevejailbirdmatt Says:

Mar 11, 2011 - I remember it well! Be seeing you... (Steve Matt) and 'The Jailbird'!

stevejailbirdmatt Says:

Mar 11, 2011 - The greatest actor never to have played Bond -- though he turned it down 3 times. Patrick McGoohan lives on and is one of those actors awesome enough to do what he damn well likes, or in the words of Carly Simon -- 'Nobody does it better.' As for the name ' Gay Search, get over it (okay-I have to admit that at first I thought it was a link to a later subject in the programme running along the bottom of the screen...I am human too you know) In memory of the greatest tv series ever made - B C N U.

eonetim Says:

Mar 25, 2011 - Doctor Who is an attempt too and the good ones are far outweighed by all the 'attempts'. In the Prisoner's short run the batting average is much higher - McGoohan being, as you say, a great actor but also so much more for The Prisoner has a great deal to do with it... and if you're implying there's any better TV Scifi than British then I've outed you as a Trekkie! ;)

mortalhellion Says:

Mar 25, 2011 - @eonetim. I do prefer Doctor Who to Star Trek. As proper science fiction goes, no one in their right minds would send 500 people in a ship into space as in ST. They would prefer sending a probe first. Ask any astronomer or astronaut this. Doctor Who is a science fantasy which isn't constrained by rules or laws of S-F and as a freer format to enjoy their stories. I do like the original Trek series the best for being groundbreaking stuff. The Prisoner series is equally ingenuis in ideas.

mortalhellion Says:

Mar 25, 2011 - @eonetim. Quatermass films were brilliant influence in the alien invasion from space format. Torchwood series has good, mature material with a charismastic actor Barrowman. Life On Mars is a brilliant time travel story that is left open ended and Eleventh Hour is an excellent series with Patrick Stewart involving conspiracies. All of them offer an excellent outlet for British S-F. Though I did enjoy the first year of Primeveal before they killed off the main character. Still... some good stuff.

mortalhellion Says:

Mar 26, 2011 - Patrick McGoogan. The man, the lengend. When folks did the Prisoner remake on TV, they went to McGoohan for advise. He told them not to bother making it. They did anyway. It didn't turn out. They should've listened to the guy.They had the potential to make a sequel using McGoohan in a possible cameo. They didn't.The original series still holds as a groundbreaking series of innovative ideas and political intrigue. Long live Number Six.
