Well whatever you watch next week I cant join you as it is Craft Club.

Anyone else would have been either a let down, commonplace or would need further explanation.

It could of course be a metaphor for retirement . . .

Perhaps that is just me being bitter. A friend has taken early retirement - I wish I could afford to!

OK, let's send TT off to his Speedway season with a hearty thank you for the Prisoner, and try to decide what to watch next. Lorna - any ideas?

Hollyhocks! I hope not. I want a bit of peace and quiet when I hand my notice in....

Thanks! Hope the Prisoner was an okay choice, despite the way it ends. IMO earlier episodes such as The Chimes Of Big Ben, Many Happy Returns and Checkmate are the Prisoner working so well to its format... before anything goes in the final 5 episodes or so!

And not Leo McKern yelling at you?

Looks like we have a couple of weeks to come up with ideas but here is one...some classic sf films?

I still love it, despite the moaning! I won't leave it so long before I rewatch it. I want to get some familiarity with it. (Still looking for answers).

If half of us are not here next time, maybe we should take a week off?

I was wondering about 'Voyage to the bottom of the sea'. It's at least as silly as the Prisoner, DW, ST or any of them. And earlier. And quite scary sometimes. Presumably we can find a B7 connection somewhere...

Excellent idea - but are people up for long sessions?

That final episode will never give any answers. Even the No 6 = No 1 only works as a metaphor (you are your own worst enemy), it doesn't make any narrative sense.

But yeah, I love the overall series. Even quite like the final episode, as weird as it is.

Ooh. Is it available to stream free? ( although one of my brothers has a box set)

And one thing I forgot to say... did anyone else spot how the front door of No 6's door opens electronically as the Butler enters it at the end... just as it would in the Village?

No you can't get past the fantastical element of the final episodes but perhaps I can lose my loathing...but not of Alexis Kanner. I can't stand him.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry at that comment!

I didn't! Thank you for telling me that.

Well I wasn't thinking of modern ones cos they go on and on. But some 50s or 60s classics don't stay around long...90 minutes on average.

Laugh...maniacally!

I did. Are we to understand he is still in prison?

Yeah, it happens just as the hearse goes by - the same hearse where the driver pumped the gas into No 6's house in Arrival!

Did you have anything specific in mind?

Forbidden Planet? Time Machine? Day the Earth Caught Fire or Stood Still? Qustetmass and the Pit has Gareth Thomas briefly and Julian Glover in it...

I could get behind a Selective Sci-Fi Season. I'd chuck in original 'War of the Worlds', 'Bodysnatchers' and the bizarrely hilarious 'Wasp Woman' (which was on YouTube last time I looked). Can't do this Thursday - as you know, I've an urgent appointment with ABBA in the Neths - but after that I'd be selectively up for a selection.
