It's here at long last! ITV1 and AMC's remake of the 60s classic tv series, 'The Prisoner', starts tonight. One of the most imaginative and fearless series ever made, the original series was the brainchild of Patrick McGoohan made possible by the courageous backing of Sir Lew Grade and ITC. Probably one of the most difficult series to remake (with a massive cult following), this has been a long time coming, and I'm so pleased to see they haven't slavishly tried to copy the original. The fact that we have the wonderful Sir Ian McKellen starring says volumes for the show's potential. Mixed reviews from the US have only whetted my appetite further. Stay tuned!! Be seeing you!
