McGoohan made no secret of his deep devotion to his wife to whom he was faithfully married for 58 years and rejected these parts in deference to their nuptial relationship. One notes that McGoohan never heatedly embraced much less kissed a woman in any episode of either "Danger Man" or "The Prisoner."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933457705605563478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-67084734100544656162009-01-22T12:44:00.000+00:002009-01-22T12:44:00.000+00:00This saddened me too.

I've had Secret Agent Man on my Netflix queue for a while -- just have not gotten to it yet, but did watch most of The Prisoner when we first subscribed to Netflix. (But did see the series as a teen when it came to PBS in the States in the early 1970's.)<BR/><BR/>I'll have to watch Ice Station Zebra. Good to know that McGoohan was a good person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
