I was just wondering if anyone out there has ever seen/remembers an old british tv series called "the prisoner" with Patrick McGoohan. 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.

And Melkor fled before the laughter of Tulkas, and hated him ever after...

I used to love this program back in the days when I actually watched TV. I found some old VHS tapes of the show and gave them to my daughter. She also liked the show.

I am The Prisoner fan. Japanese title was "The Prisoner No.6".

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! Big Grin

Biggles and I also have the box set.

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

Soylent Green is lawyers?

That's funny!

Here's something you might get a kick out of:

The law office I'm dealing with in Denver (public administrator's . . . my brother died without a will) states on its business cards that their offices are in "Mattie Silk's house."

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.

Ken, is this the one that had a secret passageway to the bank across the street?

So everyone who goes through the doors is still getting screwed.

Interesting. Everyone must just know where Mattie Silk's house is .... hmmmm

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
