AMC has all episodes streaming from the website now. Unless I'm confusing it with another show.

Even if you watch the whole series you will still be confused.

I just got the complete Danger Man series. One of the top (if not THE top) 60's spy series. BTW, he was offered the role of James Bond before Connery but turned it down because he saw the character as one dimensional. He didn't care much about the money and never regretted it. He's one of my all time favorite actors, far better than any around right now.

I started out my journey with number 6 as so...

I had just come home from the Ventura Grateful Dead shows, and was a bit *worn* from the experience. I was flipping through the channels on my TV and low and behold on PBS they were showing the last episode. After it was over I seriously couldn't figure out what was more bewildering, 4 days on the beach with a couple thousand dead heads or the episode I had just watched.

Needless to say, I was hooked :)

The last episode was totally weird. The show was way ahead of it's time. RIP!

"Be seeing you."

In French, oeuf means egg, cheese is fromage... it's like those French have a different word for everything!

I used to have the Prisoner series on VHS - probably somewhere out in the garage now :).

I had no idea Iron Maiden was a Patrick McGoohan fan.

Edit: I might have to buy the series on DVD now - The Prisoner on DVD

I never understood why they changed "Danger Man" into "Secret Agen Man".

I loved this show when I first caught in on PBS back in the late eighties - and then when it was on the late night block of tv shows they'd show on CBS back in the day....

rest in peace, Paddy...
