Today, March 19, in 1928, at 4:31 AM, a man is born who will eventually retire from his role as a secret government agent and be sent to a mysterious remote village, where he will be known only as “Number Six” (The Prisoner, s01e01 "Arrival", 1967)
A colour photograph taken behind the scenes during filming of the British TV series The Prisoner in 1967, with Patrick McGoohan, seated on the left with script in hand, and with Betty McDowall on the right. As far as I can tell the photo is unpublished, although I can't be certain. #ThePrisoner#PatrickMcGoohan#BettyMcDowall
The cafe worker yelled out “number 6!” and I did not have the presence of mind to respond with a “The Prisoner” reference.
I felt bad about this, but then I realized I was in the children’s museum, was almost certainly at least a decade older than anyone else there, and would be referring to a show that aired before even I was born.
This evening's repeat of classic 60s bonkers spy show The Prisoner is the one which features the duel on trampolines (with pool of water for the loser)
Most historians don't talk about how William Shakespeare's most prolific period was when he was actually imprisoned against his will in a tiny secretive sea-side village.
Started rewatching #TheGoodPlace again, and I can’t believe that I JUST noticed that the doors in Eleanor’s house make the same electronic noise as the automatic doors throughout the Village in the ‘60s show #ThePrisoner . That is a deep cut on the part of sound design!
In the very last sequence of the very last episode of Patrick McGoohan's uber-classic series "The Prisoner" (1967), we see a reprise of his character driving his vehicle on an open road (actually a runway) as he did when the series began and in the opening of most episodes. At the very end of this final sequence there is a single clap of thunder (the opening featured several thunderclaps at the very beginning).
This final thunderclap was an error by the editor. It was not supposed to be there. When she realized it she apologized to McGoohan and offered to remove it, but he liked it as is and so it remained.
i'm working on a talk and here is a draft of a drawing with no context
will probably make the actual slides more constructive than this but I want to keep some of this energy
(also I'm talking about answering your coworkers' questions, not helping internet strangers who have no claim whatesoever on your time, that is a different thing, though you don't have to be a jerk to internet strangers either)
Der var en kort overgang, hvor jeg fik skrevet korte anmeldelser af alt det bras, jeg lader fylde mine øjenhuller — men så snart jeg havde dumpet min backlog på superkultur.dk, gik rutinen i stå.
Er det noget, I kan holde ud at læse her, hvis jeg giver den vane et nyt forsøg, eller skal jeg holde det til Superkultur-sitet?
