treeduck Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Two weeks into the new year and we've already lost two relatively big names...

progrush2112 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Never saw the series, but love the Iron Maiden song 'The Prisoner.' Shame though. RIP Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Whoops sorry for the dup thread in RS. He was also a WOMDERFUL villain in a couple of Columbos (and directed a few of them!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great show opener. In a way I'm glad The Prisoner was cancelled after a few episodes since it controlled it's quality. As the show was constituted I'm not sure it could've given us enough entertainment value for much longer.

BeOhBe Bob Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 well he was also in Scanners..the one where certain folk can make your brain explode? Awesome horror gore flick! The Prisoner? Way way before it's time. Whenever they show it on PBS for the beggathon? I try and catch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
