Despite living in Britain 1968-78, I missed The Prisoner the first time
around. It probably conflicted with some more popular show ion my
boarding school's TV room.
I was at university in London, when another student from America
excitedly told me there was a rerun. I'd never heard of the show,
and he told me a little about it, including the dreamlike set for
The Village.
'Arrival' came on, and as soon as Number 6 starts exploring his
new environment, I turned to my friend and said 'Oh, I've been there'.
He was flabbergasted.
But yes, I'd been to Portmerion. Indeed later, I stayed there overnight
with my fiance.
