number 6

Once upon a time there was a British television series in the early to mid sixties called Secret Agent (AKA Danger Man) starring Patrick McGoohan. The show made McGoohan an instant start - yet he wanted out at the height of the show's success. Patrick had grown tired of the spy drama and promoted an idea of his own. At the beginning of The Prisoner, our spy hero is pounding a desk and angrily resigns from his steady spy job. He was probably not getting enough money for all that dangerous save the world work that was specified in his job requirement. He leaves abruptly and speeds back to his residence in his Caterham Seven (a very cool little sport's car) only to be knocked out by some sort of spy gas that was pumped into his apartment. Patrick wakes up on an fantastic little island in which he can not escape. He is a captive on a wicked little paradise island which is designed to be a prison for spies. Patrick (No.6) has to play his cards to his chest through out his forced residence there. He must try to figure out if he is a prisoner of his enemies or of his previous employer. The Prisoner was a very unusual series filled with unending twists. So did he ever get off that island? Did he ever outrun that gigantic bubble?
