Hey Ken,
Try your library, I imagine Naperville's would be pretty decent, and see if they have it or can get it. If they can't I'm sure I can arrange a road trip your way in a couple of weeks.

I managed to snag 'em all when my local PBS outlet aired them in the early '90s. You'll love this. One of these days I gotta watch 'em again before my videotapes crumble.

Worth getting one of those DVD/VHS recorders to save your old VHS tapes. I have a Panasonic, and it makes an amazing copy, and man, it could not be easier to use.

I have the license plate (part of my license plate collection<g>), KAR-120C, and all of the episodes of The Prisoner. One of my absolute favourite shows.

A good guide? Check this book:

Rumour is The Beeb is remaking it with Christopher Ecclestone and that's the reason he left Dr. Who ( apparently it was his favourite TV show too!).

It looks as though there are a couple of projects that may see the light of day. A movie and a new version of the TV show. Watched the Chimes of Big Ben last night with my son Aidan. You should have seen his face when #6 opens the door to reveal The Village. I am missing episodes 15 and 16. Will have to keep searching.

Next you need to watch

and get to know number Six when he was still John Drake. Many of the characters from Secret Agent return in the Prisoner, six and Drake use a lot of the same phrases.. (be seeing you)

McGoohan siad that number six and Drake were different charaters however, McGoohan didn't own the characters of the series he created, producer Ralph Smart (series creator and writer, co-writer), owned the "John Drake" character and did not licence it for the new series.

Officially sanctioned novels based on the series refer to Number Six as John Drake. In the episode "The Girl Who Was Death," we see Number Six meeting a character named 'Potter', a Drake contact in Danger Man. Colony Three in Secret agent was also a preview of the Village.

And in some episodes of Secret agent you can see the bicycle Village simbol on some office walls.

I know his name. But, that would be telling.

Always liked the show as my avatar indicates - I have been lusting after a Super Seven from the time I first saw the show

I never could manage to make it all the way through that series. I tried on more than one occasion to do it, but it was just too slow moving and monotanous for me to stick with. The one hour episodes all seemed to just drag-on forever. How did the series end anyways? Did he ever escape? Who was number 1?

Let you know in two weeks after we watch all the episodes. Sorry, but just like the series my reply will drag on forever.
