Title: the prisoner Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 3, 2005, 22:47:41 I'm old enough to remember it....but for some reason it passed me by.....probably the old man wanted to watch something on the other channel.
I was a fan of Patrick McGoohan from his Danger Man series.....ace theme tune. The village was Port Meirion.....the baby of Clough Williams Ellis......who sounds like 3 managers. Title: the prisoner Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Sunday, July 3, 2005, 22:56:23 I knew you'd be here Reg.... but dissapointed with the lack of knowledge
Title: the prisoner Post by: ron dodgers on Monday, July 4, 2005, 00:01:04 It was a most surreal series - an ego trip for Patrick Mghoohan. I've watched as a kid, as a a teenager and as an adult and I still don't understand it.
It's different and I loves it , wouldn't get made now. I stayed in Port Meirion - in the village and everybody goes home at 6pm and you get it all to yourself - I still wouldn't go down to the beach though - fucking great big durex chasing after you and suffocating you - aaargh. regards No. 69 ( I am not a free Ron but a number) Title: the prisoner Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, July 4, 2005, 00:03:14 download speed has picked up to 19kb/s so it should be done in 4 days \o/
Title: the prisoner Post by: ron dodgers on Monday, July 4, 2005, 00:04:53 I got upgraded to 2mb last week - most useful for the downloading of selected fillums
Title: the prisoner Post by: redbird on Monday, July 4, 2005, 08:08:22 I watched this as a kid and didn't understand it but was absolutely terrified by the "rover" (big white bouncy thing). I have now got the boxed set of the series and have watched them and understand the point a bit better now. Still scared a bit by the rovers though....... Been to Portmeirion twice and it was a surreal experience to see all the buildings and the beach. Well worth a visit though if you liked the series.

Title: the prisoner Post by: yeo on Monday, July 4, 2005, 18:53:49 I used to watch it on Sunday mornings in the 80's .I didnt really understand it if im honest but the bubbles were cool.
Title: the prisoner Post by: Dazzza on Monday, July 4, 2005, 19:22:23 The chap who runs the official fan club website was at Uni the same time as me.
We bullied him so much he tried to top himself. Twice. Title: the prisoner Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Monday, July 4, 2005, 19:25:34 was he a weirdo geek?
Title: the prisoner Post by: ron dodgers on Monday, July 4, 2005, 21:07:11 they're all weirdo geeks - wear piped blazers and drive mini-mokes.

I wanna go on the see-saw thing. http://www.sixofone.org.uk/images/dinkibox.jpghttp://www.the-prisoner-6.freeserve.co.uk/episodeguide/fallout_cavern.jpg Title: the prisoner Post by: Dazzza on Monday, July 4, 2005, 21:35:45 Quote from: "Onion_Jimbo" was he a weirdo geek? I couldn't think of a better example. Ever. Actually we didn't bully him really. First time round was at the end of the first year at Uni we where getting pissed up before going home the next day and for the first time ever he sat down and tried to strike up a conversation like we’d been mates for years. He was told in no uncertain terms to fuck off. Thirty minutes later someone had to grab him from the top floor window of the halls. Apparently he had had the same treatment all afternoon and all of a sudden came to the conclusion no one liked him. Can’t think why. Second time round despite being the stereotypical nervous geek he did over some mates house stealing a load of gear. He broke down when the cops nabbed him and after he was promptly done over when he got out he was caught trying to scoff a load of pills by his mother. Last I herd he was in the nut farm. |
