I loved McGoohan's work. “Secret Agent Man” was a fantastic show…very much of its time…with its early 60s theme song that sticks in one's mind.
Of course, I saw “The Prisoner” first, and only later “Secret Agent Man” reruns…and saw how McGoohan integrated the two characters.

Never made sense of “The Prisoner”…especially the final surreal episode. Was it all in his head?
Every episode began with his demanding: “Who is Number One.”
To which the reply was: “You are Number Six.”

Yet, the final episode seemed to suggest that there was a longer pause in that reply…as if there was a significant comma: “You are, Number Six.”

My favourite episode was “The Girl Who was Death”.
Of course, the surreal Village was the most brilliant TV set ever…particularly as it is a real village…built by an eccentric wealthy loon on the coast.

One of the best TV shows ever, IMHO.

Ricardo Montalban's death is very sad as well.
Every now and then, in movie rentals, one sees him turning up in supporting roles in the oddest places.
Always on his mark. Always flawless.
Great talent.

“From hell's heart I stab at thee…for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee” … who could have said those lines better?

I think I will have a glass of wine…pull a couple of DVDs from the shelves…and watch them in action.
