The bouncing inflatable ball finally catches up with him.

Bizarre series but weirdly enjoyable

I don't think that I've seen more than a couple of 'Prisoner' episodes.

This was how I got to know Patrick McGoohan:

A nice, interesting letter in The Star, from Keith Farnsworth, on "The day I met Danger Man".
