"Who... does... number 2... work for... ???"

That line makes a lot more sense now.

I was going to make an obscure Beavis and butthead refrence to all this number talk, but I'm afraid it would have been lost, and I'd just sound weird (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I caught a few avengers in reruns, but never saw the prisoner or the saint(except the val kilmer movie)

reason #483 to hang out at 914world... these guys make you feel young (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Somehow this old thread showed up in a convoluted search with lots of * and " and +, and I have to chime in that I discovered this show on reruns when I was in college and it made a lasting impression. One of my all time favorites. The white ball was scary, although that may have been influenced by other aspects of college "education"!

And now I can't remember what I was searching the forums for.

Well I saw The Prisoner when it first came out when I was growing up in England - I realise that this puts me somewhere around the Stone Age - and the final episode (when everybody thought that all would be revealed and wasn't) caused uproar! Incidentally, that episode of The Avengers with Diana Rigg in that.........er, costume, is called A Touch of Brimstone from 1966, and is still banned on many TV stations in America........lots of trivia for you!

1972 1.7L, L21E (Tangerine), brown interior.

I did not think that last years Prisoner remake was terrible. It captured a lot of the feel of the show, but without really feeling like the show, if that makes sense.

At the time, I hated it, but kept watching to see how it went on. I actually liked the story, but it just was not the Prisoner. Not in the classic sense. Number 2 stole every scene he was in, of course - its Ian McKellen. Everyone else was just filler, and the Prisoner was not about rooting for the bad guy.

My friend Bernard in Caudan, France has a Lotus 7. He's a big Prisoner fan. By the way it's Patrick McGoohan, Bernard made sure I spelled it right.

I just spent a week with him in Caudan. Everytime we went out to see something, he would drive the Lotus 7, I'd be behind him in my RSA. The Lotus just turned heads everywhere. Yes, I got a ride in it, with the top on, you have to be a contortionist to get in and out. The pedals are real close together and the emergency brake handle sticks into the back of passengers leg.

He told me there's a Prisoner Club, they get together every year at the orignal Prisoner set. It still exists in the UK.

Here's some pictures of the Lotus 7, Bernard, his wife Magali, and Leon their dog.

Yep! That's a French number plate. The last two digits tell you where it's registered and is the first two digits of their postal (zip) codes. Talk about joined-up thinking! Although I think the hated European Union might have changed all that.
Good grief, I'm turning into the Trivia King!
