I don't think the old show really appealed to too many youths (except us ) I thought Patrick McGoohan did intend The Prisoner as a sequel to Secret Agent/Danger Man in spirit, even using many of the same actors and character phrases (his own)? Even though it is not an official sequel.

I think the overall themes in the original are pretty universal (especially in modern society as a whole) and I always liked Caviezal so we'll see (fingers crossed).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265545/1114958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265545/1114958.page GMT The Prisoner • AMC • starts tomorrow evening

Patrick McGoohan starred in a spy series called Danger Man before he did The Prisoner. There are links between the two series.
