Be seeing you...40 years later

One of my all-time favourite TV shows, The Prisoner, is to be remade for Sky. The latest rumours are that none other than Christopher Eccleston will play No.6 this time around...if they do it right, I'm convinced this will be the best thing on TV.

The 1990's wasn't a good decade for quality UK TV drama - only a fews dramas such as Our Friends in the North and Pride and Prejudice (as Sara reminded me!) stick in the mind. However, the 2000's (or whatever you call this decade) has produced some amazing shows such as Spooks, Bleak House, Life on Mars and the new Doctor Who. Will the new Prisoner join the list?

The 1960's version of The Prisoner was filmed in Portmeirion in North Wales and we visited it a couple of years ago as you can see above. Needless to say, Patrick McGoohan is one in the top picture!
