Ich bin großer Fan der britischen TV-Serie Nummer 6 (The prisoner) von und mit Patrick McGoohan aus den 60er Jahren. Daher bin ich sehr begeistert, dass es jetzt ein deutsches Buch über die Hintergründe der Serie gibt. Man bekommt es für günstige 15 Euro inkl. Versand. Bestellung per Mail, es ist nicht im Handel erhältlich.

📺 Enjoyed this documentary about The Prisoner and Portmeirion, the Italianate town on the Welsh coast where the cult 1960s #tv series was filmed, as sinister as it is beautiful… #bbc #theprisoner #prisoner #patrickmcgoohan #portmeirion #wales

Exploring the couple Patrick McGoohan films on Criterion, and found All Night Long. Othello, but in the 60s London Jazz scene.

It includes performances by actual jazz greats, like Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Tubby Hayes, and Johnny Dankworth.

Well worth a watch.

I swear the thunder sound effect is the same as the Prisoner.

Watching the first of #PatrickMcGoohan ‘s guest appearances on #Columbo at @Illuminatus ‘s recommendation.

Of course being a guest star usually means murderer.

By Dawn’s Early Light, military academy commandant doesn’t want the academy to go co-ed. Conveniently, the founder dies in a cannon misfire during the Founder’s Day ceremony.

I’m still amazed Columbo had movie length episodes and was on for so long. They don’t make them like that anymore.

I found that #DangerMan / #SecretAgentMan is on Prime (as is #ThePrisoner and #TheSaint ). I love the Prisoner, but I’d never seen #PatrickMcGoohan in Danger Man before.

It’s a very fast paced show. At ~23 minutes, they cram in a plot that really deserves a 50 minute episode (like the Saint), so there’s no wasted moments. Even the dialog is rapid fire.

I appreciate McGoohan’s skill at taking on different personas and accents.

I can see why they wanted him for #JamesBond .

There's an episode of "The Prisoner" where a new technology ("speed learn") allows an entire 'university education' to be beamed directly into peoples brains. Everyone is amazed and excited by what they know! No more tedious studying! No books.
Of course... every person knows exactly the SAME collection of facts; and all they can do repeat the facts back verbatim because they have no understanding or contextualization.

I need to rewatch The Prisoner. That was such a bloody great show.

Brand – Von Henrik Ibsen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjcbe5KTFlw

Brand ist ein Stück des norwegischen Dramatikers Henrik Ibsen. Es handelt sich um eine Tragödie in Versform, die 1865 geschrieben und am 24. März 1867 in Stockholm, Schweden, uraufgeführt wurde. Brand ist ein Priester, der die Konsequenzen seiner Entscheidungen akzeptiert und fest entschlossen ist, das „Richtige“ zu tun. Er glaubt in erster Linie an den Willen des Menschen und lebt nach der Devise „alles oder nichts“. Kompromisse zu schließen ist daher schwierig oder fragwürdig. Brands Überzeugungen machen ihn einsam, denn die Menschen in seiner Umgebung können oder wollen seinem Beispiel nicht folgen, wenn er auf die Probe gestellt wird. Er ist ein junger Idealist, dessen Hauptziel es ist, die Welt oder zumindest die Seelen der Menschen zu retten, aber sein Urteil über andere ist hart und ungerecht.

Very sorry to hear that Rachel Herbert passed away on 7th March 2025, at the age of 90. She gave a most memorable performance as Number 58 in the 'Free For All' episode of The Prisoner. "Tick... Tick!"

♟️The Cooler (1974) was a spy novel written by George Markstein, co-creator of 1960s surreal espionage series The Prisoner. It’s based on the real-life Inverlair Lodge, a ‘retirement home for spies’, which also inspired The Prisoner. It was long out of print but is now available again, with a striking cover - https://plumeriapics.co.uk/shop/ols/products/the-cooler-pbk
