It looks like No.6 is at home, but I don't think I'll disturb him. But it is strange just how the atmosphere at night in Portmeirion can be so different to what it was during the day. If you have been to stay at Portmeirion you will have experienced this for yourself. It is an atmosphere all its own, and difficult to describe. And once back out into the outside world, it seems a more noisy and hectic place to live. It make you hanker for the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the village. I know people who have not wanted to leave Portmeirion, and return just as soon as they were able!
Is this a reflection of Portmeirion, bikini clag girls at the swimming pool. Activities on the beach, but without the beach tents and Mini-Moke. But sunbathing, paddling in the water, building sandcastles
All activities performed at Portmeirion, and seaside holiday resorts the country over. Only watch out for the tides, they can come in quick and if unobserved can isolate you on one of the sandbanks, which has often been the case for those unwary souls who don't care about what they are doing!
The Trivia
In 'Hammer Into Anvil' No.6 places the remnants of his ham sandwich into the box once containing the cuckoo clock. In the shot from within the box, No.6's ham sandwich remnant has become more of a sandwich with only a couple of bites taken out of it!
The book which Alison has in her cottage is The Mind Reader.
Both thumbprints seen on the screen in No.2's office of The Schizoid Man as both No.6's try to prove their identity, are identical! That cannot be, nor even for identical twins it cannot be. So has science here been perverted, or is Curtis wearing a thin latex thumbprint of No.6's?
During his time at the hairdressers, No.6 has his hair style and colour changed by three very attractive female hairdressers. The question here is, was No.6's hair dyed back to its original colour, or was the black dye simply washed out of his hair?
No.6 was given the password 'Gemini' this so that No.2 would be able to tell the two apart, No.6's that is. But this is merely a hangover from the change of blazer from the original script, as both No.6 should have been wearing identical blazers.
When No.6 is punched to the ground outside the recreation hall by Curtis-No.6 in 'The Schizoid Man. No.6 gets to his feet without any stain on his blazer, this when the ground can be clearly seen to be wet a'nd sandy.
The reason for Danvers
As the series goes on, more and more reliance is placed on painted back-drops of Portmeirion, stock footage of Portmeirion and less and less of the Italianate village itself.
M.S. Polotska's original name was Dab II, and later renamed Breda
Leo Mckern had a nervouse breakdown after Once Upon A Time, and did not want to work with that man McGoohan again!
Not everyone who worked on the Prisoenr series, both production crew and cast members, did not enjoy the experience.
When asked about his role in the Prisoner actor Victor Madden couldn't remember doing the brass band leader scene with Partick Cargill! "Was I in the Prisoner?" he couldn't remember.
