Come In Number Six, Your Time Is Up...

I’m not going to be a grief athlete, but I thought I should quickly mark the passing of Patrick McGoohan and Ricardo Montalban.

In 1982, Montalbans’ hairstyle in “The Wrath of Khan” was a mullet before it’s time. Back then, we imagined that 1999 would herald a world of flying cars and hair that was long at the back and short on the sides. Ricardo helped make that dream a reality. Apart from the flying cars.

At university, I remember a library sit-in, protesting about something or other, where we had a huge party and watched episodes of “The Prisoner” back to back all night. I learnt how to open beer bottles with my teeth that night. We were fun socialists.

Adaddinsane has a link here to watch “The Prisoner” online. I might have to take him up on the offer. Cheers, Dad.

I’d Google to see how many other people thought up the unoriginal post title, but, y’know, the baby seals…
