Arguably the best single episode of the uber-classic "The Prisoner" television series was "A. B. and C." from 1967. In this episode, Number Two and a brilliant, rather sympathetic researcher manipulate Number Six's dreams while viewing them, in an attempt to determine (of course) why he resigned -- with predictably embarrassing results.

"The Prisoner" is currently free on #YouTube Movies & TV. You can watch this episode right now, right here! Be seeing you. - youtube.com/watch?v=keGKsFqQUx

@lauren Yeah, I was 9 or 10 at the time, and maybe too young to have watched it since I still have nightmares of getting chased or caught by a giant white blob ball thing. 🤔

@ExadataDBA @lauren When I visited Portmeirion I had my gf take a picture of me running away from the village toward the ocean.. it'd be amusing to 'shop in a weather balloon behind me but I've never bothered.

@pieist @ExadataDBA Yeah, I would like to have visited there, but it's really unlikely to ever happen.

@lauren @ExadataDBA The space inside the tiiny building which was the exterior of #6's residnece (far too small and too oval to contain the apartment set depicted) was occupied by a shop selling The Prisoner merch. Of which there was a surprising amount. Staffed by a long-suffering bloke who endured my gleeful recitations of the requisite lines and responded in kind with dutiful resignation:

Do you have anything larger?
Only colour, sir. Much more expensive.
No, I meant more area.
Sorry sir. Local maps only.
