So, if Raphael took some of his ideas, added some good actors and a strange white ball..... 8)
It is easier to enslave a people that wish to remain free then it is to free a people who wish to remain enslaved.

It's all good ;)

Downloaded all of em.

Oh I came across this little tidbit on the viewing order:

"There is much debate over the proper order in which the episodes should be viewed, as neither ITV in Britain nor CBS in the US originally broadcast the episodes in production order. The A&E DVD release in 2001 placed the episodes in what it described as the "fan-preferred" order (though this is open for debate). The episode viewing order suggested by A&E is as follows: 1. Arrival 2. Free for All 3. Dance of the Dead 4. Checkmate 5. Chimes of Big Ben 6. A, B and C 7. The General 8. The Schizoid Man 9.Many Happy Returns 10. It's Your Funeral 11. A Change of Mind 12. Hammer Into Anvil 13. Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling 14. Living in Harmony 15. The Girl Who Was Death 16. Once Upon a Time 17. Fall Out"

I was so taken by the series that I named my hamster Number six when I was about twelve years old. Doom porn has been with me for a while now.

I too am a fan of the series. Given that the UK has more surveillance cameras than anywhere else, it seems more relevant than ever.

I go to N Wales regularly. I have often been to Portmerion. It's a fantastic place, completely surreal, and v beautiful if the weather's good.

Once when I was there I stumbled across a Prisoner Convention - there were Mini Mokes and people dressed up in all the gear, recreating the human chess match. You'd say Hello and they'd reply Be Seeing You.

A real buzz.
