Anybody watched it?
I didn't.
-
No ....but I didn't watch the original either redface:
-
Yes we know, far too young.
-
Having been a fan of the original (which I notice some younger critics are now slagging off in the "Sundays") I decided to give the new one a miss as I felt "they" would never be able to recreate the atmosphere of the times and I don't want an all time favourite memory spoiled.
I gather they have "up-dated" it but the critics don't like it so perhaps I made a wise choice for once.
For much the same reasons I have avoided the three latest "Star Wars" movies.
-
More or less what I was thinking.
Twas bloody good at the time tho.

Living where I do Portmeirion is an easy afternoon trip out. I find I am looking over my shoulder the whole time we are there. SWWLTBO, who is too young to have seen the original said I was mad ~ until that is the original was repeated a year or so back. She admitted that having watched it that maybe I'm not so barmy after all.
The Village hasn't changed much.

It is known as "Rover" and I understand it has been retained in the new series.

That's as may be, stylistically, but the The Prisoner was more Man against The Machine IIRC. What's more, it's emblematic of what most of us on here feel every day, fighting the shite, like rubschin:
Should be the VP theme cloud9:
