Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPatrick McGoohan originally refused to appear in this programme because of George Markstein's involvement. McGoohan and Markstein had animosity toward each other after working together on The Prisoner (1967). McGoohan was eventually persuaded to be interviewed for the programme. But shortly before it was to go on air, McGoohan requested that his interview be deleted. Producer Chris Rodley decided to allow the programme to air with McGoohan's interview. McGoohan later sent Rodley a videotape which consisted of him alone talking to the camera and answering self-written questions about the series and his philosophies on life. He wanted the tape to replace his interview segments but the programme had already been completed. "The Man" references McGoohan's tape at the end of the programme when he says "a package just came from L.A. this morning". (McGoohan lived in the Los Angeles area.)

Featured review
Lost in Portmeirion
After Channel 4 screened the finale of their repeats of The Prisoner. They broadcast this special show to delve into the mysteries about this enigmatic series.
It had interviews from actors, writers and directors of the various episodes. More importantly it featured an interview from the main man himself. Patrick McGoohan then living in Canada.
One contributor mentioned that Number 6 was in fact John Drake, McGoohan's character from Danger Man.
As for what it was all about. There were a lot of wild theories. As for McGoohan himself, he thought it was all in Number 6's mind. It was psychological.
I remember seeing a newspaper review of this show. Rather unkindly the critic mentioned that McGoohan was trapped in his own orifice and had no idea how to end the show. It was lost in some late 1960s psychedelic haze.
