It was a fantastic show about one guy who resigned from the secret service (or something) and then was abducted and sent to an island in order to find out why he resigned. The series only lasted for, i think, 16 or 17 episodes, but was one of the most original ideas for a show that i'd ever seen. I was just watching some of the old episodes the other day, and wondered if anyone else had seen them.

I have DVD box set. This is very unique and thrilling. In my favorite episode, he could get out from island, then he went back to secret service's headquarters and he explained to his bosses about the devilish island. But that was another trap! Damn! I fell for it!

In fact, Biggles has a quote from THE PRISONER as part of his signature.

Who was Mattie Silk? She was a famous Madam in Denver's early days. Yep. Their offices are in a refurbished whorehouse in what used to be Denver's Red Light District.

If you walk through the building, you can see that it still retains the original -- pardon the expression -- lay out. An open area at the entrance with a long central corridor and smallish rooms on both sides -- both upstairs and down.
