'The Laughing Prisoner' {1987} is an hilarious homage to Patrick McGoohan's 'The Prisoner.' This time it is a successful television presenter (Jools Holland) who decided to quit at the height of his stardom, after he had used a four letter word during 'The Tube' screened on Channel 4. He is abducted from his apartment and brought to the Village, where Number 2 (a young Stephen Fry) is questioning him. The whole show has a cosy 1980's feel to it, with several bands from that period performing their music. Amongst the many cast are:
Terence Alexander -at the time Head of Channel 4
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Hugh Laurie
Dave Gregory - Band Member {TXC}
Magnum {Band}
Patrick McGoohan
John Peel
Stanley Unwin
Both Jools Holland and Stephen Fry are fans of the Prisoner. What's more Jools Holland, who very much appreciates Portmeirion for it's own sake, created his own piece of the Italianate Village at his London recording studio several years ago.

DeleteLamentablemente, no vendo los DVD de The Laughing Prisoner. He visto Amazon, eBay y uno o dos sitios web que venden DVD relacionados con Prisoner, pero no hay copias disponibles del DVD. Solo puedo sugerirle que siga buscando en Internet de vez en cuando, y puede aparecer una copia de The Laughing Prisionero. Lo siento, no puedo ser de más ayuda para usted.
