old bbc series The Prisoner

[gnuuser]

I like the old shows but i think my all time favorite was The Prisoner (1967 to 1968) Patric McGoohan
My parents thought it made no sense at all.
but as I was always one to enjoy a good mind game
I recognized that the theme of the show was a big mind game.
if they could break his will and reveal why he resigned they could get any secret from him.

absurdity has its place in the scheme of mind games because the mind can only take so much of it before becoming unraveled.
and I enjoyed how he used their own mind games against them.

in my opinion still better than a lot of crap on the telly today

The Tomorrow People was a good one to watch
but everything is politically correct now, so with play school, you can`t look throw next doors window.....Muffin the mule is now an offence...!!

Portmeirion is a beautiful place to visit. You can go to Harlech to look around the castle, or Porthmadog to have a ride on the Ffestiniog Railway on the way. The pottery shop in Portmeirion is fantastic. Wales has some stunning places to visit, and when Geordie is better we are going to do a tour in his MR2. Hope Wales is prepared....................... :2guns:

another one was the time tunnel (around the same time as voyage to the bottom of the sea)
or land of the giants.
