Was heading to the store for some items when it just happens that this nice
English lady pulls up to the corner in a Mini-Moke. She was nice enough to
wait for me to run back to my house and fetch my camera...

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/olive_e_thomas/album?.dir=/165dre2

She was almost as pleased that I'd recognised the Mini-moke as I was
excited to actually get to see one (I live in upstate New York and these
things aren't all that common).

And it was really a bit of luck that I'd been delayed in getting out of the
house long enough to be in the right place and time to spot this.

Be seeing you!

By the by... I think I might've met this lady before when there was a restored
B-17 bomber visiting our airport about 5 years ago.

I wonder if any clue(s) can be gleaned from the episode "Many Happy
Returns" in the scene where Number 6 is going through the General
Store for items he needs for his raft. He has the courtesy to write
out an IOU for the amount of credits he "spends" in looted items. Did
he expect to come back at some point? Did the authorities ever collect
on his credit expenditure?

The thought occured to me that in that episode when the
"Economy Pack" Number Six kept repeating "Number Six!
Number Six! I am Number Six!" during a confrontation that that
ought to have given the game away to the real Number Six. After
all he never cared for going by a number. Should've called his
bluff then and there...

"O.K O.K. let the baby have his bottle.. You're "Number Six" and
I'm... Oh I forget who I am today... Oh well. Nice try. Didn't work.
Bedways rightways. Best we go homeways and all that. Been
nice working with you Number two but there a pint waiting for me
at the Hope and Anchor and we all know how they don't like to be
kept waiting...  Be seeing you..."

I've read about these two leaflets but I've been unable to locate copies of
it.



Is there anybody here who can provide me with a scan copy of it?



Thanks by advance.

And whenever this comes on US TV I will be watching "another
channel" or maybe "the original dvd set". Watching a new
Prisoner would be as pointless as watching a remake of Star
Wars.

According to news reports, (if you haven't heard this already)
Christopher Eccleston, former Dr. Who, is set to star in a revival of
The Prisoner.  Portmerion will not be used, but a "foreign exotic
locale" will be the setting..

Recall the two releases of Edu-Ware's game "The Prisoner" for Apple
II+ (running the Motorola 680x CPU-based chipset)?

I want to find emulator or code that I can re-program for Java so
others can enjoy the game.

Anyone?

Hello.
I'm new here.
I was just introduced to the mind bendingness that is The Prisoner just
last week.
I felt like toying with some of the soundclips.
Perhaps you'll find some enjoyment in it.

The Prisoner in Mayberry

http://beancounters.blogs.com/parodies/2004/09/the_prisoner_in.html

" What if Mayberry were the secret ŇVillageÓ that Patrick McGoohan's
character in The Prisoner was sent to? Can you imagine the testy, urbane
McGoohan up against the folksy-but-diabolical "Sheriff Andy"?"

"I am not a number, I am a free man."

"Well, Opie, you see what kind of oddballs wander in from the outside if
you're not careful?"

"Yeah pawr."

Prisoner: You must know a way out of this prison!

Goober: This here ain't no prison. Mebbe you need glasses! This here's
Mayberry! [canned laughter]

Prisoner: Very well then! How do I get out of this É Mayberry?

Goober: Oh! That's different! Now, you take this-here road, go straight
through to Ma's Kettle Korner, anŐ ya turn where you see the elm tree ...
then, er ...

Earl: No, no, no. You turn at the ol' dog-leg road ...

Goober: I was just going to say that! Now, when you get to the pasture
where olŐ Farmer Murdoch used to keep his cow ...

Earl: Why, did Murdoch finally sell ol' Bessie?

Goober: Shore did! Heard about it downit the general store t'other day,
when I seed Mrs. Murdoch buyin some dress goods. AnŐ she tol' me ...

Prisoner: For the Love of God! Would you please just answer my question!?

Earl: Hol' on, hol' on, young man, where's the far? [laugh]

Anthony: Prisoner: "You can't fool me. This is a diabolical attempt to drive
me insane by cross-breeding a Kafka-like enigmatic allegory of purposeless
activity with an American bucolic fantasy. Take me to Number One!"

Aunt Bea: "Would you like some pie?Ó

Prisoner: (Screams in mortal torture.)

Aunt Bea: "Well." (Gives slices to Andy and Opie.)

Andy [munching pie]: Well, Mr. Six, I don' know if I can rightly he'p you find
this "Mr. One", seein' as how they ain't nobody in Mayberry by that name.

Prisoner: [deeply frustrated] I keep telling you ...

Andy [holds up one hand; on accounta how t'other one is holdin' his fork]: I
know, I know, this-here Mr. One cain't be seen by the nekkid eye.

Opie: Then golly, Mr. Six, iffn he cain't be seen, then how can he rightly be
here "in" Mayberry?

Prisoner: [Throws head back at ceiling]: I give up!! Wherever you are!! You
win!! I'll give you any information you want!!

Aunt Bea: [Gives familiar, diabolical laugh]

[Unobserved, a giant ball gently bobs and bounces past the living room
window]

[Series ends.]

Did a little manipulation of one of those car photos posted recently...

Number Six finds himself in a strange yet oddly pleasant village on
the south shore of Long Island....

Much of the exterior scenes were and it made much of
difference. Portmerion as "The Village" was a character in it's
own right.

Why? Most of the original series wasn't filmed in Portmeirion and that
show seems to be pretty highly regarded.

Thanks for forwarding that for me, Franny. It's great to get the news
out there, but I don't have much spare time at the moment!

Alice Clar.

Exciting Patrick McGoohan Convention!

Why not join us for a one day event in Portmeirion, the home of 'The
Prisoner'?
http://www.theunmutual.co.uk/pm2005.htm

We are celebrating the works of Patrick McGoohan, not just 'The
Prisoner' and 'Danger Man'.

We'd love you to be there and I guarentee you do not want to miss out
on what promises to be a fantastic one-day convention.

We are having screenings, interviews with Robert Fairclough and
people
involved in 'The Prisoner', plus a quiz, raffle and much more.

Don't delay, order your ticket today!

I am trying to contact Sarah Jenkin, but do not have an up-to-date e-
mail address for her.

Could somebody who may be in contact with her ask her to contact me?
She can get me at pris200@....

Ta!

You did take quite a lot!

I see Sarah Jenkin got her wish and played Number 6 in the Election
Parade this year. That must've taken some persuading! Who's Number 6
in the Human Chess? I can't quite see.

Doesn't matter how you dress it up, the Election Parade looks really
bare/low attended. Pity really, nothing like a raucous crowd to wake
the Village up!

I attended the recent 6 of 1 convention in Portmeirion and took a
load of pictures, I've put them on a website at
http://defilement.goldeye.info/portmeirionpics.htm
i've on more to finish which will be done by sunday at the latest,
check it out if your interested.

thanks and be seeing you

Scanners: krep. Honestly, I donŐt know what the fuss was about.
Yes, a head blows up, and it was shocking for the time, but
please: if youŐre going to start the movie with an exploding head,
youŐd best provide another somewhere along the line. Because
when the movie ends and we havenŐt seen exploding head #2,
we feel cheated. Horrible music Đ hard to believe that Howard
Shore wrote that bleeping burble-fest, but thatŐs what Cutting
Edge scores sounded like back then. Patrick McGoohan
hunches a lot, as though he is stooped by the heavy downward
momentum of his career; pity. The main hero, such as he is,
cannot act, and doesnŐt even seem to try. He seems unaware he
is actually in a movie.

http://www.lileks.com/bleats/archive/04/1104/113004.html

Has link to the IMDB entry of Scanners.

At last, Channel 4 in the UK has shown the episode with the Prisoner
spoof.
I'd only read about it till now.
Great to hear Mr McG's ever-distinctive voice.
I thought it was a pretty cute and affectionate job by the Simpsons
team, anyone else have a view?
Sorry if this is a bit ho-hum to everyone who's familiar with the
episode, but it was fun for me to see it at last..

Silly me...  I thought you might've meant that 60s mod/pop
singer...

I wasn't paying full attention to the movie as I'd seen it before and
only had it on as background whilst I was rebuilding an old
Macintosh Powerbook...

I've always loved that movie, especially PMG's character, even before I knew of
The Prisoner!

In addition to the scenes mentioned earlier, my favourites of PMG's are the ones
where Rock Hudson is trying to glean more information... INFORMATION!... (sorry)
about their mission & PMG replies, "Captain, you've obviously deduced that I am
some sort of... sneaky bastard, up to some nefarious skullduggery, & there's no
reason why a fine, upstanding man such as yourself should know any more than he
absolutely has to", as well as the scene in the mess hall just after the SS
Tigerfish has been sabotaged; "Your mission is to get me to Ice Station Zebra. 
I suggest you get me there.  Stick another torpedo up the spout, blow a hole in
the ice & GET ME THERE!!".

Just a hint of the wicked sense of humour that I would come to love when I
finally saw The Prisoner.  What an actor!

-- No. ?
