Oh that's very good, I like that ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Certainly he would be the first, and many would follow in his footsteps. I suspect you could ask a cross section of fans of 'the Prisoner' as to what they think the correct screening order might be, and get quite a variation of screening lists. I myself have my own screening list, which I drew up for a manuscript I have written, having taken into account the seasons of the year - any dates used within the series - events happening in the Village - time factors such as the time to the Arts & Crafts Exhibition being six weeks - the time it takes to grow a beard and moustache - and the duration of each episode, and between episodes for example, all which must read a bit nerdy, but important if one is to put a 'time-line' to the Prisoner, and sorting a screening order.
My time-line for 'the Prisoner' was fascinating to do, because as it stands in the form we see in the series, a time-line cannot really be established. There would either been too much time between episodes, or episodes would either be too close together, or even overlap, which would be ridiculus. Yes, I will give this serious consideration for an 'Out of the Archive' blogspot. I thank you for the suggestion.
Surely he's just trying to figure out the episode order.......

That sounds neat. Is this a candidate for the 'Out of the Archive' blogposts?
