Nov 23, 2010 - McGoohan was offered the role twice, the second being after Connery wanted out. He was also the only actor that Orson Welles said intimidated him. No one else could take the stage away from Welles, only that Irish man... before McGoohan got into film or television...

Dec 14, 2010 - Yes McGoohan turned down the role of James Bond because of all the promiscuity in it. That's why he went on to make the far superior and more realistic secret agent programme Danger Man- the greatest TV secret agent programme of all time.

Jan 13, 2011 - Today is 13/1/11 and I can't believe it is exactly 2 yrs since Pat left us. I lost my Father-in-law over Xmas & I am reliving this awful sense of loss. To sum up my immediate emotions when viewing 'The Prisoner' 30 yrs ago (which never leaves us but is never recaptured) it would be the excitement of 'heavy brass' accompanied by the wonderment of what our hero is going to go through THIS week! Since 'The Jailbird' I draw 'Oscar & Wild' for the 'Bugle' - watch out for a tribute to Pat soon! BCNU

Jan 17, 2011 - great combo! wonder if mcgoohan was hip to gg&f.

kevin4peace Says:

Jan 20, 2011 - Woah, 'The Letters', except not on cellos and saxes. A lot cheerier, as well.

businessfreedom Says:

Jan 26, 2011 - I wouldn't be suprised if he was.I was just thinking if the Avengers(Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg) were hip to Soft Machine.BecauseI think Soft Machine would make a perfect fit to compose and do The Avengers Theme

Mar 4, 2011 - you're got to admire Mr. McGoohan, by 2:13 I would have been spewing like a sick dog.

wyld1975 Says:

Aug 22, 2011 - yes this riff became THE LETTER, of the 1974 record isands by kc. :)

elviss Says:

Aug 22, 2011 - You're right, Good ear! Although The Letters is from 1971. :)

wyld1975 Says:

Aug 22, 2011 - DOH!! sorry elviss you hound dog :) but both 71 and 74 both had 3 albums recorded in thouse two years, thats my mix up . :)

diggerodell100 Says:

Aug 25, 2011 - the actual names on the signs came from crew members i believe and lets not forget john drake who appeared in the opening scene.

ohmygosh77777 Says:

Sep 27, 2011 - I thought the opening pub scene came from Danger Man. Still, your choice of video and the song seem to go together amazingly well! Came to GG&F in reverse order, having been directed to King Crimson first (God, forty years ago!).

jamesnich99 Says:

Dec 11, 2011 - aghhh!! That guitar solo(ing)!! 'especially the last 10 seconds or so. I mean, what can be said..other than..ABANDON ARTTTTTttttt!!!!!!!!........zzzzzzzzZZZzzz.

Dec 20, 2011 - The piano chords are nicked from Wonderwall the film. Wonderwall Music first LP on Apple.Or could George have nicked them from Fripp?
