Oh, no. Never took illegal drugs. It’s bad enough having labyrinthitis all the time and feeling dizzy/out-of-focus for every day for 20 years straight. But having watched “The Prisoner”, it seemed more like either some bizarre colorful nightmare (on which I have had countless - if only I could’ve filmed the one I had today !) or a drug-fueled “trip” (or, as in the film, “Point Blank” with Lee Marvin, maybe the entire thing took place at the moment of his death). Although some critics complained he didn’t know quite how to wrap the show up and just went full-on silly in the finale.
It did address a legitimate point that has been a serious problem with some individuals working with state secrets and/or spies, what do you do with people who know too much ? If it was his character of Drake from “Secret Agent”, he would be very dangerous as a disgruntled ex-employee of HMSS and it would be in the state’s interest to either kill him or have him imprisoned or isolated.
What about when Obama leaves office? Not that he should be killed or imprisoned or isolated, but he's seen the Big Board.
