The Prisoner rewatch episodes 14-15

OK, so in this episode, they've cut all the bit where he's in Portmerion and they gas him and he wakes up...in a Western. It's yet another drug-induced and electronic dream.

Pointless fights. No ideas for this story, it seemd

You know, I would rather be watching Carry On Cowboy. That had a story.

There is a child in it! Have we seen a kid before on TP?

It's all about the dressing-up, the horses (cheaper than helicopters, just), and the accents (actors love a challenge).

Carry On Cowboy is very funny. One of the better ones!

McGoohan's accent is just daft. Doesn't sound like anything - definitely not American!

Probably a good thing he doesn't say much.

The violence against the woman has a definite nastiness to it. Mostly the violence on TP has been a bit cartoonish.

It was all made of cardboard, like an episode of B7 Wink

Might I refer you to the prophecy I made earlier? It's SO predictable, really.

The cardboard horse reminds me of the cut out donkey I sat on when playing Mary in the school nativity play

No 6 was the only one strong enough to be able to come out of the fantasy!

Now #2 ought to wake up with flat Kathy and Flat Top Hat man in his own dream... I could write this SO much better...given a big enough budget.

See you at 20.45, then. The intro lasts 3 mins, btw, should you choose to avoid it.

That would have worked very well, condensed to a third of its length - as Ms Virn says, very obvious.
