View Full Version : RIP Patrick McGoohan 1928-2009 Kelly Goden January 15th, 2009, 12:38 AM Man what a rough day. Two biggies. I hate to admit it, I have never watched the Prisoner. :( But I knew him from Escape from Alcatraz, Columbo, and the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh among others. Chris Hurd January 15th, 2009, 08:00 AM Ice Station Zebra is still one of my all-time favorites... he will be missed. Bill Ravens January 15th, 2009, 08:09 AM Actually, Patrick had a series before The Prisoner. Remember "Secret Agent", for which "Secret Agent Man" was written. As my memory recalls, anyway. Richard Alvarez January 15th, 2009, 10:18 AM "They've given you a number, and taken away your name..." Wow, two in a day. Wonder if we'll have the third soon? (Always seems like they go in threes.) Colin McDonald January 15th, 2009, 02:04 PM I am expecting that a memorial plaque to him will be erected somewhere in Portmeirion where "The Prisoner" was filmed, though it will probably take a year or so to happen. I go there regularly and will keep an eye open.

And rewatch the whole Prisoner soon. :) Tom Roper January 16th, 2009, 08:58 PM He was the Secret Agent, at a time when there were secret agents. Loved 'ya...you are missed. |
