rambl– It’s a clever caricature of Patrick McGoohan as “The Prisoner.” The blob in the back was known off-screen as “Rover.” Here’s the show’s great opening theme:
The series starts with this episode:
Guarantee you’ll love it.

Oh I used to love that show when I was a kid. My parents weren’t too keen on letting me watch it though

nursem– I watched it when I was a kid, too. It was so paranoid and spooky, and it wasn’t until decades later before I found out that I wasn’t the only one who saw it.

That was one of my favorite shows. I love how they incorporated his earlier Danger Man/Secret Agent shows in the opening.

warlo– In answer to your questions, the idea was a caricature, and yes it should.
cbull– Totally missed the reference to Danger Man in the opening.

I remember seeing a few episodes as a kid and finally watched the whole series a few years ago.
That is a weird series … good … but weird.
The final episode was exceptionally weird.

plane– They were all strange, especially the ones when No.6 would almost escape, except for a moral or ethical dilemma that would make him decide to turn back. 26 Episodes as I recall, and one of them, “The Tower of Big Ben,” I think, had two versions due to censorship concerns. Most, if not all, of the episodes can be found on the Utoobage. I’ll have to hunt that last one down.
