I had intended to join in but I started watching the Daleks in colour!! However, Thursdays from now on are busy. Apologies

Shame!


Daleks beat meteorological balloons and even lava lamps any day! Have fun, Lorna.

Watching that on catch up

Yes, I had forgotten that he doesn't really die.

There is indeed nothing quite like The Prisoner. A very enjoyable rewatch - see you next week.

I think they mended him and cured him of being a secret agent.

OK, see you for the next installment next week. Hope you both feel a little less overrun by then. Take care.

But he has new masters. Doesn't sound like a cure to me

Very much liked Arrival.

Definitely a scene setter for the rest of the series. It really goes to town on showing us Portmeirion - which is better known these days, but was still largely unknown in 1967 and therefore a mystery to viewers.

Patrick McGoohan is perfect as No 6. He's bad tempered enough to give Avon, Blake or Greg from Survivors a run for their money!

Arrival presents us with a mystery, although it's also not as oppressive as some other episodes, as Cobb does leave the Village without dying.

Yup, I'd forgotten that twist too. It seems you can escape the Village - if you sell your soul to the devil!

And number 2 is now Inspector Wexford/the Emperor Tiberius.


It's quite neat that No 2 changes (without explanation) during the episode. Gets us used to that No 2 will change frequently.
