Is that the one that was filmed somewhere in Wales and had a big bouncing ball? It is always shown on quiz shows!

Patrick McGoohan wasn't it ? I remember that, God he was handsome, dark and brooding. Compulsive viewing when I ws a kid.

The Prisoner isn't my thing but I do have a random Prisoner connection. One of my neighbours' brother was on the special effects team on the series and apparently the big white ball that used to chase him was a weather balloon.
