That last episode was actually written by McGooghan himself, if I recall correctly. I never did care for it much, though I suspect I'd like it better if I saw it again, after so many years.

It certainly has an anarchic charm, there are some standup scenes in it

like the chase scene aroubd the court room, the funny thing is that supposedly they are really trying to catch him, they were too be paid extra for the first person who could

That was the first episode with Leo McKern, right? He was also the #2 freed by the Prisoner in the last episode. In real life, McKern's always been something of an outsider, from the way I've heard it.

Nope Leo McKern was in the Second episode and the penultimate episode. I can not remember the name of the guy in Hammer and Anvil. It was some slight man who had greased back hair (best i can do

)

You're right. I just checked on the web, and the episode with McKern was called The Chimes of Big Ben. Patrick Cargill(?) was the #2 in Hammer & Anvil.

Check this: [url="http://www.portmeirion.wales.com/index.english.htm"]http://www.portmeirion.wales.com/index.english.htm[/url]

It's a website run by the Village. They even have links to the hotel, there, where you can stay. Mind, it isn't cheap: 115 pounds for the least expensive room.

Hey, the bookmark looked classy. A shame it's so expensive to stay there. I think my wife wants us to visit the UK sometime in the indefinite future, and that would have been a great place to hit for a few days.

I think i am going to buy a few of the mugs

My dad reckons you have to pay to even go to the place. I would love to go there sometime, but unfortunately as you say it is just too expensive

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Thu Aug 30, 2001 3:17 pm

I can assure you are not the only person to have not seen the Prisoner. However i throughly recommend it, best series ever.

Stoner Cold · Post by **Stoner Cold** » Thu Aug 30, 2001 3:28 pm

is there anywhere i can see this series without parting with my hard-earned (asked dad for it) cash?

No unfortunately not, it is only on DVD online, they recently re-showed it on the SCiFi channel in the UK. I don't recommend purchasing it, just keep an eye out for the repeats they are bound to be on sometime.

You might not like it, it was made during the 70's and is quite psychedelic, it made up quite a few of the ideas you see in TV these days, things like brainwashing etc.

I suggest Buck to create "FAQ about Buck Satan"...

"Why Buck is member No.2?" does come up to everyone's mind, followed by "How did you come up with the name?".

It never occured to me to question why Buck was No.2, strange?

Why don't we just bump Chrissy's topic?

I meant "How did Buck come up with "Buck Satan"?", and not everyone.

I saw his explanation somewhere before, but I cannot remember where that was. Must be the early days in the SYM.

Chrissy's topic is too spammed up, anyway.

Isn't it some sort of literary reference?

Stoner Cold · Post by **Stoner Cold** » Thu Aug 30, 2001 4:07 pm

is the real buck satan gonna give us an explanation, or do we just have to stay here like old-aged vegetables wondering about things we will never understand?

No, it's not. He said it came from a band (or something. I can't remember), and used the name for other works he did before created GameBanshee. He wanted people of the gaming world (professional people, I mean) to know it's the same guy.

It must be somewhere...

'Nerva, that's strange. I could swear that there's some book with a character in it named "Satan". I'll have to check into it...

Surely not?

I have actually been there, many years ago when on holiday in Snowdonia, it is certainly a beautiful place
