THE PRISONER'S PATRICK PASSES ON PEACEFULLY
... maybe I'll just do badly cobbled together obituaries this year. No one will notice the difference anyway.
Here is the intro of The Prisoner. Best TV opening credits ever? Probably embodies what I would like to remember about the 1960's, but was too young to actually live through, ha ha. Plus, Patrick's general fitness and piercing eyes (*faints*) ...
I must admit that I didn't think that The Prisoner quite lived up to its reputation (er, maybe a repeated viewing is required. Saying that you're not mad about The Prisoner is inviting trouble, really). I did, however, like Patrick in Dangerman, although I haven't seen that for about 25 years.
Carrying on in a slapdash vein, here is I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape by The Times.
Will this do?
*slopes off to prepare supper, or high tea, or whatever the fuck you want to call it*
Patrick McGoohan has died at the age of eighty.
