The Prisoner (2009) - Nov 15, 16 and 17 on AMC (cable)

[quade 4]

So with all the recent hoopla over "V" I wanted to mention another mini-series remake of a favorite TV series from my youth; The Prisoner.

I absolutely adored this as a kid and I'm really hoping this remake lives up to the premise. With Ian McKellen as Two, I have a lot of hope.

Oh and they kept the look of ROVER. That alone just makes me giggle like a 12-year-old fan boy.

Saw the trailer some time back and must admit it looks like they might have got it right.One can only hope.

Ever see the Simpsons parody?

One of those big white balloons comes after them, and Homer just pops it with a fork.

I have been watching all of the originals they have stashed in ON DEMAND.

I remember the original and used to love it and still do. I think I am picking up a bit more this time around.


For what its worth they had a recent Antiques Roadshow on BBC America that they filmed in Portmeirion, Wales, the location shoot for The Village.

They are still building them, but Lotus sold the design to Caterham, so it is now the Caterham Seven.
