Patrick McGoohan Remembered…

November 17, 2009

– – The original Number Six from the ground-breaking series The Prisoner, Patrick McGoohan, died in January this year at the age of 80.

The 1960’s television world boasted some of the  best and the worst, ranging from the heights of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone to the depths of…say, The Cowsills. The original Prisoner show was a heady mix of geopolitics, sci-fi, and psychedelia that even The Beatles loved…a mix of Kafka and Orwell that sadly only lasted for 17 episodes but left an enduring impact…

…and Patrick McGoohan was one of the great ones, cool, tough, and cerebral all at the same time!
