He may have vanished from your Dr Who screensaver, but Christopher Eccleston isn't done with being a geek hero just yet: Doctor Nine will regenerate as Number Six in Granada's £10m remake of the 60s classic The Prisoner (http://www.retroweb.com/prisoner.html), confirming the El Reg story (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/04/prisoner_remake/) yesterday linking the in-demand thesp with the role.
The six-part remake is slated to air on Sky One in "January 2007" or "spring 2007", depending on whom you believe; our guess is that Sky will bust its arse, and the arses of anyone involved, to get it on screen at exactly the same time as Tennant's second series of Who.
What's almost as certain is that "Sky One's biggest drama commission ever" will have more in common with glossy conspiracy fare like 24, which incidentally goes HD in two weeks time (http://www.hdtvuk.tv/2006/05/skys_first_week.html), and Lost than with the surreal Patrick McGoohan original, famously set in the Butlins-meets-Alcatraz Welsh village of Portmeirion. Purists may take to the streets over the relocation of The Prisoner to "a more exotic setting", but at least the Portmeirion locals won't have to suffer a brand new glut of telly-tourists gawping through their front windows while they’re trying to have a brew in front of Deal or no Deal (http://www.tvscoop.tv/2005/12/review_deal_or_.html)

PMSNBC and NBC, I think.
*spit*
Number Who?
Pretty post and LOTS of music too.
Thanks potlatch!
Four Golden Oldie TV shows and one huge movie series
Note all of five them were made in England -
I have it on a new Spy webpage now
It’s a very nice SPY webpage.
.
Thanks -
It’s also a fast way to access those tunes!
OK, you mean for you when you want to hear them. I can see that!
Very nice post, devolve!
Those were some of my very favorite shows!
Lovely music, and a really nice car...who could ask for more? ;o)
IMHO the theme music for “The Prisoner” is the best theme ever.
.
“Secret Agent” was called “Danger Man” in the UK
“The Avengers” & “The Prisoner” went thru several them tunes until one good one “stuck”
“The Prisoner” final theme song was a real winner
Follow the bouncing ball.....
Were there lyrics to the theme song? The lyrics on that song in a search are bad but may not be associated with that.
The Prisoner: “Who are you?”
Number 2: “To you - Number 2.”
The Prisoner: “Who is Number 1?”
Number 2: “You are number 6.”
The Prisoner: “I am not a Number! I am a free man!”
Number 2: (laughter)
I’m still assuming these are the words to the theme song. It was very hard to find THIS.
