Loved the opening theme songs for both of them series!
You know I wonder if that is why we never got to know No.6's real name
and if he was really guilty or not? And why it ran for only a season as
maybe it was kinda like what McGoohan meant to do from the start in
order for it to be a final ending to the Danger Man TV series like so
he could finally move on to other roles?
BTW I would really love to see them make an updated version of The
Prisoner (with Gary Oldman as 6) with say a Matrix like or a Brazil
like feel to it?
