I always thought it a shame that the above contraption of the canopied Penny Farthing is never seen in the entire series of 'the Prisoner.' Of course we do see the Village logo, and the Penny Farthing bicycle itself. But it would have been nice to have seen this, full-sized canopied Penny Farthing in 'the Prisoner,' even if only propped up against a wall. After all a great deal of work must have gone into adding the canopy, so strange that it was never actually used in the series. At least it was seen during the production of 'the Prisoner' at Portmeirion, and filmed by an amateur film photographer at the time.
Be seeing you
