Sky One is reviving The Prisoner, which along with Dr. Who was probably one of the more influential TV shows I watched as a kid.

They have just cast Christopger Eccleston as Number 6.

I need the next two tickets to London, or it's your ass.

Normally, Prisoner-related news would call for my P icon, but this one has a more appropriate keyword.

I thought he was trying not to be typecast as British Nostalgic Genre TV Guy.

No Portmeirion? WUH?

Well, that turned out to at least be partly a coverstory - the Regeneration was apparently planned from day 1.

Plus, this is only going to be a 6 episode mini-series (at least they say), so that may be part of it.

I watched it on PBS when I was growing up, and then it showed up on A&E and the Sci-Fi channel.

The more important part of that article, of course, is the offhand mention of the new Robin Hood.
