"Questions are a burden to others." There was a poll, but not everyone responded.

"Answers are a prison for oneself." It was shown in the US in the summer of '68, on CBS. Not all 17 episodes: only 16 of them were aired in the US originally: 'Living In Harmony', the wild west episode, was not shown at the time, evidently due to the use of drugs by the characters in that episode. IIRC, CBS showed the entire series again a year later, and they aired the lsd episode the second go-round. "I've resigned." Recently, Silva America released a 3 Volume set of CDs of original music from the series, much of it unavailable on other recordings. Nice graphic design on the cd series, a 35th anniversary affair. "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, briefed, de-briefed or numbered." Supposedly, Patrick McGoohan, the mastermind of the entire series, dreamt the famous opening theme music, woke up and translated it Ron Grainer, who is credited as the composer. "My life is my own." Favourite episode: 'Many Happy Returns': it's No.6's birthday: he gets a cake. ;) http://tinyurl.com/oqw3 seek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
