Prisoner TV series set for revival

Recent "Doctor Who" actor Christopher Eccleston is set to appear as the mysterious Number 6 in remake of Patrick McGoohan's surreal "The Prisoner" TV series, The London Times reports.

The new version, made by Granada for Sky One, will incorporate the paranoia, conspiracy theories and hi-tech action sequences of modern-day spy dramas 24 and Spooks.

...However, the Welsh tourist “village” of Portmeirion, where the original ATV show was filmed, will be replaced by a more exotic foreign location, probably outraging fans of the original.


Indeed.
