Yes, you are just a number. Shut up.

Normally my reaction to a remake of The Prisoner would have me thinking “Blech, why do people DO these things…”

But with Ian McKellen in it….

AND JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER AS HIS GAY SON???

I may be forced to watch.

Just for comparison purposes you understand….

I wonder if the end will be easier to understand in this version. It will be interesting to see the comparisons between both series and the village design. *adores Portmeirion* Where does it say 11-12 is gay?

Thanks for giving me the heads up.

I'm hugely excited by it. I never got to see the original, but I have some familiarity with it.

And Jamie Campbell Bower. Squee.

Oh, that does indeed look interesting! :D

I loved the original series, but hated the ending...

You might to rethink -- unless you want to get very angry.

ZOMGZOMGZOMG.

I loved the original. I watched it in the mid-1980s when a local independent TV station broadcast the episodes -- in fan-approved chronology, not original broadcast order, no less! And when my family went to the UK in 1986, we visited Portmeirion, oh yes. Somewhere in a box there's a pic of me with the Lotus Six.

Ian McKellen is a worthy replacement for Leo McKern. I have never thought much of Jim Caviezel. But... JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER. OH THE PRETTY. I would watch something MUCH stupider just to look at him!
