Event alert: The Unmutual and Quoit Media are hosting a special event at Elstree Studios to celebrate Patrick McGoohan (co-creator of the iconic series, The Prisoner). Not A Number: A Patrick McGoohan Retrospective will take place on Saturday, June 23rd, at Elstree Studios in Boremhamwood. Special guests will include actress Jane Merrow (Danger Man, The Prisoner/"Schizoid Man"), director John Hough (The Avengers, The Champions, Brass Target), actress Vera Day (Hell Drivers), and others. A rare chance to get inside Elstree, see props and costumes, and to hear stories from cast/crew of these 60s classics. Tickets and info here. From the press release: "Patrick McGoohan is regarded as one of the finest acting talents of the 20th Century. Starting out on the stage, with critically acclaimed appearances in works such as Brand and Serious Charge, he became Britain's highest paid television actor appearing as John Drake in ITC's Danger Man series before he co-created, starred in, and produced The Prisoner series - a landmark in TV history, still loved, respected and examined 50 years on. Appearing in countless films, stage plays, and television shows, Patrick McGoohan is a true TV visionary. The iconic Elstree Studios, where Patrick McGoohan filmed some of his work, including his first ever film appearance in The Dam Busters, will play host to this very special event to celebrate the man, his work, and his legacy. The event has been approved by the McGoohan family. Special guests, including those who worked with Patrick McGoohan, as well as those who have been inspired by his work, will take part in exclusive and interactive Q&A sessions. In addition, there will be official and exclusive screenings, signings, and other happenings, to celebrate the man and his work, including an unmissable display of original costumes, props, and memorabilia from The Prisoner, Danger Man, and McGoohan movies!"

New release: The Prisoner: The Essential Interviews. The Unmutual and Quoit Media have announced a new range of CDs that feature in-depth interviews about Patrick McGoohan's groundbreaking cult series, The Prisoner. In Volume 1, series creator/star Patrick McGoohan talks with Howard Foy about his inspirations for the show and how it took shape during production. The interview was remastered from an original dictaphone cassette by Doctor Who sound man, Mark Ayres and clocks in at 45 minutes. Pre-order here. While you're there, you can also pick up the 20-page Fifty Years of the Prisoner program and The Prisoner: The Essential Guide. From the press release: "The first in a series of CDs of archive recordings with cast and crew of The Prisoner TV series. In 1990, Patrick McGoohan met with journalist Howard Foy to record an interview for issue one of 'The Box' magazine. It would turn out to be McGoohan's last in-depth interview regarding the series. What inspired the series? How did he find his co-stars? What were his 'essential seven' episodes? How did Rover come to being? What does he think of the series' fans? All this, and more, is discussed in this edited 45 minute interview." Part of the proceeds will be donated to a children's hospice in north Wales.

Event alert: Fifty Years of The Prisoner. If you missed the recent Prisoner 50th anniversary event at Portmeirion, Spy Vibers have another chance to celebrate Patrick McGoohan's TV masterpiece a bit closer to home- just north of London in the heart of 1960s TV spy country! The Unmutual and Quoit Media will be presenting a special celebration of The Prisoner on January 21st. The event will be hosted at Elstree Studios, Borehamwood (across from the original MGM lot), and fans will be treated to special guest appearances from original cast/crew (TBD), Q&A sessions, screenings, and other attractions. I spend time every summer around Elstree Studios, where the mostly unchanged landscape and architecture drops one right back into the world of The Avengers, The Saint, and other classic series. This is a great opportunity to not only see that world, but to also gain access inside Elstree to meet up with Prisoner veterans, experts, and fellow fans. Tickets are not expensive and profits will be benefiting the Ty Gobaith Children's Hospice. Tickets and further info at Quoit Media. Enjoy!
