Patrick McGoohan, creator and star of the legendary surrealist TV series has died at age 80 acording to multiple news sources.  Despite being best remembered as Number Six from the Prisoner show, McGoohan’s carrer spanned from grenere work Danger Man and the Disney series Dr. Syn, Alias The Scarecrow. To more recent works like A Time to Kill and Braveheart (McGoohan has mostly retired from acting and directing).

AMC is in the works making a new Prisoner series that will be in the same spirit as the original, but taking the current climate of the day and applying it to the show. The original show actually stands up to today already, with cameras mounted on every home and street, it’s not unlike living in the UK today.

AMC’s website has episodes of the Prisoner show avalible for viewing in addition to lots of other info relating to the show. If you’ve never watched the series, I sugest you do so now.

And let’s not forget “The Silver Streak”….

That movie was dynamite.
