Thought For The Day

    The 1960’s television production was under the control of one man, Patrick Joseph McGoohan. His word during the production of the series was law, and he laid his hand upon every aspect undertaken to produce such a series. Such was his authority, drive, and ambition. He delivered such a television series which broke the mould, nothing of its like had been seen before, especially the final episode ‘Fall Out.’
    Down the years, nay through the decades, there are quite literally thousands upon thousands of people who have been enthusiasts of ‘the Prisoner.’ Many have remained loyal to the series, while others have fallen away, their interest in ‘the Prisoner’ having waxed and waned. And yet there have always been new people to discover ‘the Prisoner’ people who have become confirmed enthusiasts, and that remains true to this day. Through ‘the Prisoner’ Patrick Joseph McGoohan made prisoners of us all at one time or another. But he did more then that, although during the production of ‘the Prisoner’ he remained in full and complete control of the project. Once ‘the Prisoner’ had been finished he relinquished that control, and left it to each and every person to watch the series and arrive at his or her conclusion as to what ’the Prisoner’ is all about. He gave our imaginations the freedom to make of ‘the Prisoner’ what we will.
