Members today do not get mailings like those any more, packed with material. For myself, I liked to be involved, I felt I had to contribute something to the society. But in the end I allowed myself to become too involved with the politics of the society.<br /> It took me a long time to get Six of One out of my system I don't mind saying. But then I found my appreciation for 'the Prisoner' had grown stronger since I walked out, and began to look at the series in many different ways which I had never coinsidered when I was a member of Six of One. And I suppose I felt free, liberated, that's the only way I can describe it.<br /> I'm pleased you enjoy my blog, a good many people do. And I hope to be writing it for a good while yet.<br />Very best regards<br />David<br />BCNU.......in the Global Village, its smaller than one might think!David Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-32655334890992649522014-09-24T10:51:03.731+01:002014-09-24T10:51:03.731+01:00Hi David

I’ve always preferred to keep myself to myself. I suppose I was more like an Observer! I was a member until around 2004 – but I was a bit dismayed by all the in-fighting within the society so I just didn’t renew my membership. However, my interest in The Prisoner has never waned. In fact, I’ve found out more about the series since I left 601 than when I was a member thanks to other sources, including your excellent blog! Who could have thought so much can come from 17 episodes!<br />Be seeing you then, perhaps, around the global village!<br />Nadia<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-53442034704220719812014-09-24T07:54:39.234+01:002014-09-24T07:54:39.234+01:00Hello Nadia,

I did play Number 6 in some re-enactments during Max's Touring Theatre in 1990. But was frozen out for the next three years.<br /> The 1991 convention was a sort of change over, because it was the last one attended by a lot of "the old guard" but it was also the first convention for a lot of people who would eventually become very prominent in the years to the late 1990's.<br /><br />Very best wishes<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-39727884735216438452014-09-23T12:13:08.568+01:002014-09-23T12:13:08.568+01:00Hi David

I was standing behind No 6 and the White Queen – did you play No 6 that year?<br />N<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-19778796717474657832014-09-23T10:04:29.425+01:002014-09-23T10:04:29.425+01:00Hello Nadia,

He's still with me, although he has cast off his Village attire and has become a free Orangutan. <br /> He sits in my living room, and says he is very flattered that you remember him.<br /><br /> As you were around in the days of the old Number Six magazine, I wonder, did we ever meet?<br /><br />My very best wishes<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-53543660821357452092014-09-22T13:20:07.451+01:002014-09-22T13:20:07.451+01:00Hi David
