“Be seeing you”

    The television series 'Babylon Five' created by Michael Stracynski has one reference to ‘the Prisoner.’ The Psi Corps gives the Village "Be seeing you" salute.  And there are more subtle nods to 'the Prisoner' series for those carefully watching.

It’s Your Funeral

    Tony Sloman once said that to his reckoning the two episodes Hammer Into Anvil and Its Your Funeral are two episodes which do not feature an element of brainwashing or mind tampering. Well certainly not in the case of 'Hammer Into Anvil,' but in 'It's Your Funeral,' what about the drug used on No.50-Monique, that supermoprobomate?

There Never was A Number 1!

    How was Patrick McGoohan going to wrap it up after 'Once Upon A Time,' to solve the question of who is Number 1?

   According to Tony Sloman, Film Librarian on 'the Prisoner' says that McGoohan was never going to solve the question. There never was a Number 1. Pat McGoohan was Number 1. We were all Number 1. There was never a Number 1. The extra shots were never there on the original. That was the end.

   Because ‘Once Upon A Time’ was originally just another episode, being one of the early written episodes. The piece at the end, where the Supervisor asks Number 6 what he desires? To which No.6 replies "Number 1" was later added

Makes you think... doesn't it?
