Some years ago a poll was held amongst a number of fans to see what was their "favourite episode" or "the best No.2." I don't think the results were too surprising, by the numbers who responded to the poll.
Favourite Episode:
Checkmate 70
Free For All 48
The Schizoid Man 21
Fall Out 20
The General 17
A B & C 13
Arrival 12
Hammer Into Anvil 10
The Girl Who Was Death 1
Worst/Least Favourite Episode:
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling 127
Living In Harmony 71
A Change of Mind 7
Checkmate 4
Fall Out 2
The Girl Who Was Death 1
Favourite No.2:
Leo McKern 182
Darren Nesbitt 16
Patrick Cargill 13
Colin Gordon 1
Favourite Guest Star:
Alexis kanner 62
Peter Swanwick 57
Kenneth Griffith 56
Annette Andre 9

Not surprising that Leo McKern turned out to top the "Favourite No.2" poll. I think he is everyone's favourite. And Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, well it's everyone’s least favourite episode. But of course if such an on-line poll was held today the results might be very different. So with that regard allow me to ask;
What is your favourite episode?
What is your worst or least favourite episode?
Your favourite No.2?
Who is your favourite guest star?
And favourite Location?
Be seeing you

Well there have been two people to state their favourites, and I thank them for it, nr6de and Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteSuprisingly 'Once Upon A Time' and 'Fall Out' are amongst favourite episodes, well I suppose it all depends what one is looking for within the series. Perhaps more surpringly 'Living In Harmony' and 'Do not fordake Me Oh My Darling.'
For myself 'Arrival' is my favourite episode followed by 'Checkmate.'
Worst or least favourite episode: Do Not forsake Me Oh My Darling. It used to be 'Living In
Harmony,' but since then I've revised my thinking.
Favourite No.2: Ian Mckellen {but Leo McKern of the original series}
Favourite: Guest Star Nadia Gray
Favouirite Location: Buckingham Place, Westminster because I once drove along Buckingham Place in a Caterham Seven as the Prisoner!
Perhaps more readers would like to add to this poll.

David

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life, and so it is with fans of 'the Prisoner.' We already have a variety of likes and dislikes in this poll.
