The Prisoner

Well?

Rule number one - You don't mess with a classic.
Rule number two - Americans should leave British cult classics alone (see also The Wicker Man)

Apparently it's only a six episode series ending in The Schizoid Man?!? Took five years to make as well unless I've been fed totally duff info.

Tend to agree with that - Jesus just doesn't have the intense anger that Patrick McGoohan displayed as number 6.

Saw the first episode of this US remake, it was really terrible, rubbish actors not a patch on the original, no-one could match McGoohan's quirkiness in the part or the great number 2's and supporting cast they had, Porthmerrion was a better setting, holiday camp blazers etc - note to producers THINK OF A NEW IDEA stop rehashing great series and f***ing them up, viz Ashes to Ashes, just watch John Thaw in The Sweeney miles better.

... or the great number 2's ...

And let's face it, you can't beat a great Number Two.

 

[Buttinhams]

Can't beat the original
