If you are as old as I am you will remember this.
There was nothing like it at the time on our TV screens...

The Prisoner...farwell mister...

Never watched the Prisoner much, got the whole thing on DVD a few years back, knew him best for being in Columbo. RIP

For a second there i thought someone in Iron Maiden died or something
Never knew this show or actor, though obviously i've seen him as the English king in Braveheart (didnt know that was him though, just read that).
At least i now know where Iron Maiden got that song from, this quote is said in the beginning of the song The Prisoner.

Blast from the past there fifty, used to watch that show reverently (to the point where recurring nightmares about the orbs)

R.I.P.
