Luckily, I'd also read previews of the show--or I might have been shocked at the, um, dissimilarity!<BR/> <BR/>I will especially miss McGoohan as I watch the AMC remake. I hope it's worthy.<BR/><BR/>Be Seeing You,<BR/>Brian-ElAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-568251151094576452009-01-15T21:57:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:57:00.000-05:00Well done, sir.

I've known the end may have been coming soon for Mr MaGoohan, as indeed it may be coming for us at any time; still a sad loss of a one of a kind actor. <BR/>Just this past year, two great DVDs wormed their way into the EWL archive, "The Three Lives Of Thomasina" and very recently, "Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow Of Romney Marsh". Both of course feature the talents of Patrick MaGoohan. (Okay,"Thomasina" also was a film about a cat, so of course I loved it from an early age.)<BR/>I've had the pleasure of standing in the doorway of Number Six's cottage and the amazing experience of exploring "The Village" at dawn when it was deserted. None of these experiences would have occured if not for the incredible Patrick MaGoohan. <BR/><BR/>I guess he maybe didn't want to stick around for the remake.<BR/><BR/>RIP Patrick MaGoohan RIPEl Wayno Locohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215053632257423101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060041.post-20176749824739923712009-01-15T21:49:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:49:00.000-05:00I'm still reeling over Patrick McGoohan's death.

I think I<BR/>spotted one typo though. You say:<BR/><BR/>"Similarly, Drake used a gun, at least not unless there was no other recourse."<BR/><BR/>Although I've never seen the series, I'm guessing you meant to say,<BR/>"Similarly, Drake *never* used a gun".<BR/><BR/>BCNU,<BR/><BR/> - FiL<BR/><BR/>PS, You don't happen to have an mp3 of the Prisoner theme song, do<BR/>you? I want to use it for my musical tribute on my show next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
