The episode: 1. Arrival The date: Thursday, November 23rd, 2023 The time: 7.45pm UK time "I'm Not A Number, I'm A Free Man". Yup, time for a new rewatch. Only 17 episodes, so we'll do the lot. Seems to be lots of different episode orders, but we'll stick to the original UK transmission order. Link: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12...eo/x12sekq Vote Og.

(After what's been going on in Huggy's cartoon, maybe we should rewatch some Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea sometime!)

Hurray! Welcome back, TT. Many thanks. The irony is that I won't be around for Arrival tomorrow, but I decided that we should press on, simply because there's going to be weeks when one of us is missing in the run-up to Christmas. I don't mind up don't catching up at the weekend, and then posting my comments after watching it. Vote Og.

(After what's been going on in Huggy's cartoon, maybe we should rewatch some Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea sometime!) it's one thing I've never seen, but wouldn't mind watching a few at some point, if it's available somewhere on the net. It's certainly something we can think about sometime next year! It was a shame I missed the Trek rewatches, because it would have been fun to see if it could change my mind on classic Trek

One over thing, just been planning ahead, and December 21st is a Thursday this year. It's becoming a tradition to rewatch Blake on that date (rather than the nearest Tuesday), so that week we'll watch Warlord on Tuesday, December 19th and Blake on Thursday, December 21st and therefore there won't be a Prisoner rewatch that week. We'll then give people a week off between Christmas and New Year, and then the Prisoner rewatches will restart on Thursday, January 4th.
Vote Og.

So who are we expecting? I'm here, representing the Management, keeping an eye on your rebel activities, with - OSP perhaps? Lorna? Maybe AA? Who knows. Someone had better show up soon, because the Prisoner is quite scary in its own weird way.

Hey, hello Anne. You're ahead of me. He's just parking, having had the ticket spat out by that ultra-modern ticket machine thingy. I bet it was then, anyway.

Portmeiron is wonderfully weird. Toy Town for adults. The pottery isn't bad, though. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Why stick a phone booth in the middle of a road? It's so obviously fake.

Portmeiron is wonderfully weird. Toy Town for adults. The pottery isn't bad, though. But it works for something like this. I have some Portmeiron dessert forks, which I adore. |

Well it's a slightly better map than the one Servalan had of Ensor's base.

We thought it was weird. And we were right. Also, that bacon wasn't properly cooked. Don't eat it, Patrick.

I'm teaching postgraduates Old French, I'm translating a Cornish court roll for a woman who lives there, and I'm getting up early every day in case I get any supply teaching. Mostly I'm not - except for yesterday when I couldn't do it. So lots of work - but not lots of pay, alas. |
