The Prisoner has left us.
God, how I loved the show when I was a teenager. It aired on the local PBS station--late Saturday night, as I remember--and I would curl up on the sofa in the darkened living room to watch it, enthralled. Dave gave me the series on DVD a few years ago and I haul it out whenever I start to feel that it's impossible to be human in the modern world.

I JUST saw this- and had to comment.
B uses "#6"in his passwords- because,
"I'm not a number...I'm a free man !"
Isaac has The Prisoner ringtone for his phone; we all watched it, and also have the set.
A sad day.
I remember that show well, and most of the dreck on TV now isn't as good. May he RIP.
I should have known your household would be fans, Chaya. Subversives, all of us.
I loved the themes of the show, but it didn't hurt that McGoohan was so attractive--and his Burton-like voice was pretty irresistible.
